Dessert Defender!

I've loved sweets since I was a kidlet, and in my current True/Slant post, I'm all about defending desserts! (Well, the good kind, that is - no dairy, eggs, white sugar, etc.)

Read on for the dish on sweets and get the recipes for my Berry Apple Grunt and Peanut "Better" Cookies... but please resist the temptation to call me puddin', okay?! ;)

I can't wait to read more of your blog! I'm not vegan, but try to eat as much veggies as I can! :) And I'm about to sit down with a vegan cookie and coconut ice cream!

I love the article! I have very fond memories of baking cookies with my brother and sister as a kid, and I love being able to pass that on to my kids!

I have been a huge fan of your cookie recipes ever since I got my hands on Vive Le Vegan. Your cookies have the absolutely perfect texture in my book, just the right amount of puffiness and just the right amount of spread, and so soft! I love that you use canola oil rather than Earth Balance margarine (better to stay away from processed foods as much as possible) and I also love how quick and easy your recipes are!

I can't wait to try that berry grunt recipe...but I'll use blackberries as we are picking loads of them right now here in Washington state! =)

Thank you so much for making a case for healthy sweets. It's so hard for me not to want to just gorge myself on great desserts. Like Dreena I've learned to reform them so that I can make my sweets guilt-free. Can't wait to try this recipe!
