These little muffins are filled with goodness! They are naturally sweetened with pumpkin, banana, dates and 1 tablespoon of organic honey--no need for added sugar! I use white wholewheat flour for the added fiber, of course, and make these without any eggs or dairy, so for those of you who are pure vegans and do not use honey then you can omit it (there is so little of it, it ...

Banana Date Bread (Vegan)
The combination of ripe banana and medjool dates achieves--dare I say--a certain "butter-iness" in this vegan bread. It's hard to believe but you have to taste it to know what I mean! This is my new welcome home banana bread for my Natalia who has become vegan but I have to say, it may just become THE welcome home banana bread for the rest of the family too! It is SO YUMMY! I ...

Chocolate Zucchini Muffins (Vegan)
I have to be honest, I am new to vegan baking and I am never quite sure what to expect when I first make an attempt to "veganize" a baked good. This one was no different, I was using my luscious conventional dark chocolate cake recipe as the starting point and I had the feeling this was going to be a futile attempt! I could not have been more wrong! Seriously, I could not ... Read More »
Vegan Banana Walnut Bread
This luscious vegan banana walnut bread was one of my first attempts to bake without eggs and the result is absolutely wonderful! It's slightly more dense and chewy than my regular Banana Bread and the walnuts add a nice richness to the batter. YUM! 5.0 from 1 reviews Vegan Banana Walnut Muffins Print Author: Catherine Katz Serves: 1 loaf ... Read More »
Vegan Burger
Allright, I have to admit, I have been trying to create the perfect vegan burger for a long time now without much success. I mean, really, much like the typical ones I had tasted before, they were either too mushy, or too obviously "healthy-tasting" (that's the French foodie in me speaking!!) or just tasted too "complicated," if you know what I mean. This is of course....up ... Read More »
Crème au Chocolat (Vegan)
These remind me of French "Petits Pots de Crème au Chocolat" from my childhood in France! Typically, these petits Pots are made with dark chocolate, heavy cream, egg yolks and sugar. Of course I have revamped them, Cuisinicity style, while keeping their rich creamy texture and luscious flavor. I have done away with the heavy cream, the eggs and...even the added sugar!! The ...

Silky Chocolate Pudding
Let me begin by saying this: AMAZING! Why? ...Because although this chocolate pudding tastes luscious and creamy enough to be an elegant dessert, I actually created it as a quick-no-cook-just mix-in-your-blender after-school power snack for the kids! I use organic silken soft tofu as my base, and even add pureed black lentils and plain unsweetened soy milk to the mixture so ... Read More »
Power Chocolate Banana Milk Shake
My son Gabe is 15 and I could swear he grows an inch every single day! OK, I admit, it's probably an exaggeration but it really feels and looks that way! More than ever, I want to make sure and give him all the right fuel for his body to grow. So, I created this milk shake for him (I am happy to share!). It's absolutely power nutrition! The "secret" ingredients which you ... Read More »
Strawberry Banana Panini
This is a fresh fruit panini that is just delightful for breakfast or lunch! It's just made with fresh sliced strawberries and banana, Greek yogurt, a little honey and a dash of cinnamon. But watch out! It's all in the ingredients you choose: I use wholegrain bread that is high in fiber, low in salt, low in sugar, and has no partially hydrogenated oils (even has lentils, and ...

Mini BBQ Turkey Burgers
These little burgers are perfect for a Superbowl party! Don't be fooled, they may look and taste decadent but I have made them a lot healthier for you! I use lean ground turkey and pureed lentils which makes them as moist as they are nutritious. Right before I serve them, I brush each one with my homemade BBQ sauce which gives them a wonderful kick (you can omit the chipotle ... Read More »
