I’m spoiled. While I flipped through Creative Thursday this morning, my husband baked me some lemon-poppy teacake from the Babycakes cookbook. We slathered it with raspberry jam before digging in.
If you’ve got a sweet tooth and you’re vegan and/or gluten-free, I highly recommend Babycakes. All of the recipes we’ve tested have been a huge success.
I’m a Kris Carr fan. Thanks to her book, Crazy Sexy Diet, I realized that I was allergic to gluten and my life has been much better for it. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on her latest book, Crazy Sexy Kitchen. My husband and I spent a few weeks testing recipe after recipe, and while we did make some of our own adjustments, we found some new favorite juices and dishes in this cookbook.

Anyone looking to eat healthier and introduce more plant-based dishes into their daily lives. And, of course, it’s a perfect addition to any vegan cookbook collection. Many of the recipes are gluten-free and the ones that aren’t can be easily adapted as my husband and I realized while testing out some recipes.
Stubborn, picky eaters who hate veggies and eat animal products at every meal. Yes, I’m talking to you, Mr. I gotta have my bacon and eggs. But, if you are one of these people, Kris Carr knows how to make a veggie taste extra good.

This is a tough one, because I fell in love with so many of the recipes…but, if I had to choose, I’d pick the greens and berries salad pictured above. Who knew a salad could be THAT delicious? I asked my husband to stop and pick up berries on his way home from work three days in a row, because I couldn’t get enough of this salad.

I didn’t dislike any of the dishes we tried, and we tested a bunch. My husband and I did make some adjustments. For example, the chai tea latte pictured above was waaaaaay too spicy for both of us and we’re both spice lovers. That’s saying something. But, once we reduced the amount of spices added, it tasted downright yummy. And, unlike a lot of vegan cookbooks, this one is very easy to follow. I know this is the complaint section of the review, but I just don’t have many!
You can purchase your copy right here. I hope you enjoy it as much we do.
I’ve eaten about six donuts in the past three years, and the only time I ate them was when we traveled to New York. There’s the most delicious vegan and gluten-free bakery, Baby Cakes, in SoHo and we always stop by during our New York trips.
My husband {Kris} and I finally made our own on Christmas morning!
Kris begged me for a donut pan ever since my mother-in-law bought us this wonderful cookbook. Yep, it’s written by Baby Cakes.
I bought him the donut pan and gave it to him on Christmas Eve, so we could make a batch of donuts for our family the next morning. They were soooooooooooooo good. I mean sooooooo good.
I’m not going to share the recipe here, because it’s not our recipe. But, I highly recommend that you pick up that cookbook if you’re hankering for a vegan, gluten-free donut.
