Pumpkin Chocolate Cheesecake

September 2, 2015September 2, 2015 Melissa King 53 Comments

September is finally here and I am so excited for all things pumpkin. I am kicking pumpkin season off with this amazing Pumpkin Chocolate Cheesecake. This healthier cheesecake is vegan, gluten free and grain free. You can make it super easily too. No cooking required!

This pumpkin chocolate cheesecake is super rich. It starts with a chocolate/almond crust, then a creamy cheesecake layer, and then it’s topped with more chocolate! This one is a must try. If you serve it at a party, no one will ever know it was made healthier with no refined sugar. Trust me, it’s that good. 🙂

Vegan Blueberry Cheesecake (Paleo)

August 30, 2015June 5, 2017 Melissa King 9 Comments

Vegan Blueberry Cheesecake. Just because you are vegan, does not mean you need to miss out on cheesecake. Cashews serve as a wonderful replacement for cheese in this Vegan and Gluten Free Blueberry Cheesecake.

I made a 6 inch round cheesecake, but you can also do mini cheesecake bites if you prefer. This healthy dessert makes the perfect use of those blueberries.

If you are not a fan of blueberries, you can use another berry if you like. Or even a combination of berries.

This vegan blueberry cheesecake is not only vegan, but also gluten free and grain free. There is no cooking required, so it makes a great dessert for this hot weather.

Balsamic Roasted Tomatoes

August 28, 2015 Melissa King 6 Comments

Whenever I have veggies that look on the verge of going bad, I roast them. That is exactly what I did to these Balsamic Roasted Tomatoes. These are so delicious you guys! You can throw them in zoodles or regular pasta, add them to stir fries or just eat as a side dish. They are also good for homemade pizza. One of the easiest recipes you will ever make.

I haven’t tried freezing these, so I am not sure if you could. If anyone tries, please let me know. I will be having these today with some avocado toast. Yummy!!

Sweet Potato Coconut Curry

Out of all the veggie pasta out there, sweet potato pasta is my fave! I love that you can eat a large portion and not feel guilty! I was never really into regular pasta that much, so I am loving all these veggie pastas. In this Sweet Potato Coconut Curry the flavors work in a magical way. I seriously could have eaten it all myself, but I had to save some for Marcus!

This dish is super easy to make! I used my spiralizer to make the sweet potato pasta. It only takes a few minutes, but it is an arm workout! This recipe fits all diets too. Vegan, gluten free and paleo. If you want to add more protein to this, you can always add your favorite protein. I added some pepitas to mine.

Homemade Healthier Tagalongs

Ever since I started eating clean and vegan, girl scout cookies were off my list of things to eat. Well now I don’t have to say that anymore. I made you some Homemade Healthier Tagalongs! They are very easy to make and only require 5 ingredients. If you like girl scout cookies, you may also like my Homemade Vegan Samoas.

These are gluten free, vegan and grain free. They could even be paleo approved if you make them with almond butter instead of peanut butter.

Cheesy Zucchini Chips Recipe

August 17, 2015May 24, 2017 Melissa King 12 Comments

I love making all kinds of veggie chips. Sweet potato chips and zucchini chips are my fave. Well this recipe for Cheesy Zucchini Chips will definitely be a new fave.

They are delicious, easy to make and dairy free!

I call them cheesy chips, but there is actually no cheese in the recipe! I used nutritional yeast, which has a cheesy flavor. It went so well with these chips.

In case you were wondering, nutritional yeast is nothing like bread yeast. You can read more about it here. If you eat dairy, you can use some regular cheese if you like.

This can also probably be done in the dehydrator as well. It might take about 12 hours to do that though.
