These Snickerdoodles are my veganized version of a recipe from my junior high school cooking class. They are easy to make and ready in a few minutes. A coating of cinnamon and sugar turn an otherwise boring cookie into a taste sensation. These cookies are great around holiday time or anytime you want a cinnamon treat.

Our Tri-Colored Mint Holiday Cookies are a great twist on regular sugar cookies. You can change the colors and flavorings to suit any holiday. Or just leave the coloring out and use vanilla extract to have slice and bake cookie dough at the ready.

These Peanut Butter and Jelly Thumbprint Cookies are a dessert version of the favorite sandwich. You can use one flavor of jelly or several. You can even put out the unfilled cookies along with an assortment of jams and jellies to let you guests make their own favorites.

Our Molasses Cookies are soft, slightly chewy and have a deep molasses flavor. Rolling the dough in sugar before baking them gives them some added sweetness and extra crunch.

Even though I don’t drink coffee, I love a good coffee cake. Our Cinnamon Streusel Cake gets a hand from boxed cake mix and instant pudding mix.

Warm biscuits whether smothered in gravy or smeared with vegan butter are a delicious addition to any meal.

Our Hard Cider Bread is a variation on our Cheesy Beer Bread. We replaced the beer with hard cider and added in some fall flavors to celebrate the season. Enjoy it with a glass of apple cider or a mug of our hot spiced cider. It’s the perfect cross between a cinnamon sugar donut and bread.

Originally called “Aggression” cookies, because all the ingredients were dumped into a bowl and mixed together, these crisp oatmeal cookies are easy to make and are ready in a few minutes. Next time the empty cookie jar calls, try these.

Much like a Thanksgiving meal in that you know the menu before you get there, for breaking the fast my family always has the same foods: bagels, lox, cream cheese, assorted fish, blintzes and lots of pastries, including Charles’ pistachio cake. Ethan and I now bring our own vegan cream cheese and Ethan makes his famous Chickpea Tu-No Salad, which everyone loves. A few years ago, Charles moved to Florida and was no longer around for Yom Kippur. I stepped up and took over making the blintzes, both cheese and potato, and 100% vegan. The first time I made them everyone was shocked that they contained no egg or dairy. My father now asks me to make them every year and when
