Super Moist and Decadent Chocolate Vegenaise Cake...
So you might be thinking: “Vegenaise? In a cake?!” But trust me, this cake will seriously knock your socks off!!! Adding the vegenaise makes the cake so moist and fluffy, it’s pretty much unbelievable.
I typically don’t do much baking, but it was my best friend’s birthday this weekend, and her favorite dessert in the world is vegan cupcakes. The reason I try to stay...

Ingredients:

I just got home from my backpacking trip in Thailand, and I’m missing it already.

Rumor has it that McDonalds might even start selling hummus (God, probably the most unhealthy, genetically modified hummus they can come up with). Hummus is healthy, but it definitely isn’t low calorie. Most store-bought brands contain anywhere from 60-80 calories per...

Never in a million years did I ever think I would blog about mayonnaise (so not sexy), but it tastes AMAZING and has half the calories of the original Vegenaise. It’s seriously so good I could eat it by the spoonful (ok not really, but still). Even if you aren’t vegan, you should...
