Even though I often substitute with healthy ingredients in my baking, there are some things that you just don't change! A little treat never hurt...and these are good! I made them for Mother's Day and got rave reviews from the family. The icing is sweet (what icing isn't?), so if you prefer, you can serve them without it. They taste wonderful both ways!

Smashed Cucumber Salad
This smashed cucumber salad is one of my all-time favorite cold summer side dishes. By crushing our cucumber before we cut it, we produce flavors that un-smashed cukes can't. The only decision you're going to have to make is how long to let the cucumbers marinate — half an hour or so or not at all. Perfect with grilled meat or shrimp.
Oat Milk
Creamy, full-bodied vegan milk made with oats and dates. This is a perfect solution for your coffee, cereal, or just satisfying that cookie-dunking craving. Using quick oats reduces preparation time. Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake before use.
Oreo Cheesecake Bites
These Oreo cheesecake bites came out awesome, now making for my daughter's wedding. They are not difficult and came out of the pan easily. Great recipe. Can also be frozen in an airtight container for up to a month. Let them defrost in the fridge and serve chilled.
