Chocolate Chip Cookies

November 8, 2025 by Linda Watson Leave a Comment

These chocolate chip cookies are pretty much perfect. Think melting chocolate, buttery dough, crisp outside, and tender inside. This was one of my prized, supporters-only recipes, but I’m now sharing it with everyone. Enjoy! Update November 2025: I’m changing the recipe for cookies that are easier to make, cheaper, and just as good. Use a […]

Cherry Cobbler

A glass dish of cherry cobbler

This glorious Cherry Cobbler is based on my Potluck-Pride Peach Cobbler. Wowowow is it good! I should have just put on the music and pitted some cherries for this years ago. It’s as good as cherry pie, maybe better, without the fuss of rolling out a pie crust. Most recipes that I see online say […]

Chocolate Pudding with Oat Milk

October 6, 2020 by Linda Watson 2 Comments

This creamy chocolate pudding uses oat milk for dairy-free creaminess. I used to whisk up pudding nearly every week, but after going vegan none of the plant-milk options measured up. Then I tried oat milk, and it’s like old times! Actually, even better, because the pudding is healthier, kinder, and better for the planet. I […]

Carrot Cake with Tangy Frosting

April 11, 2020 by Linda Watson Leave a Comment

Carrot cake with frosting

I’ve updated my carrot cake recipe by adding a tangy frosting that tastes like a cream-cheese frosting, but with ingredients that may be easier to get. The cake is moist and spicy, with flecks of orange carrot. The healthy ingredients include plenty of carrots (surprise!), fresh ginger, white whole wheat flour, and very little oil. […]

Vegan Mini-Pavlovas

December 29, 2019 by Linda Watson Leave a Comment

vegan mini-pavalova topped with whipped coconut cream and fresh fruit

Mini-Pavlovas get an A+ as a fancy dessert. Scrumptious, fun, photogenic, unusual, make-ahead, thrifty, and allergen-free. These beauties are vegan, gluten-free, and have only as much oil as are in the toppings you add. They taste sweetly indulgent, but the bases have only 38 calories each. I topped mine with banana slices, blueberries,  whipped coconut […]
