    The Chocolate Brownie Cheesecake Ball made me so happy. It just looks huge in that picture and delicious! I haven’t been making desserts in a while, but this seems like a great opportunity to focus on the healthy variety. Have a fun forth!

    I’m going to a pool party/BBQ for the 4th, so I’ll be making something to take. I’m having a hard time deciding between a blueberry cake, and a strawberry cake, so I’ll probably make one layer of each and put them together (with a lemon cream cheese frosting) for a red, white, and blue very berry cake.

    I’m going to make the non-flour peanut butter cookies you posted awhile back. I brought them last year and everyone loved them. Thanks for the delicious and healthy recipes.

    I really want to make your Summer Yoghurt Pie! But I have to go get the ingredients, so it might be a belated Fourth of July Pie 😉

    I will be celebrating the 4th of July in Philadelphia with family (I live in Chicago) so I won’t be making anything. However, even though it will no longer be the 4th of July when I get back home, there are still some recipes in this post that I do want to make when I get back to Chicago! Also, Nutella fudge pie sounds amazing! Is it going in your cookbook? If so, (or even if not) I cannot wait for that cookbook! I have been looking forward to it ever since I found out you were making one which was shortly after I discovered your blog a little over a year ago! Also, I’ve been meaning to tell you how much I love your blog! It inspired me to further explore the blogosphere and eventually create my own blog!

    Hey, just thought I’d letcha know that your posts are linking to some non-vegan recipes (like cracker barrel chicken, McDonald’s egg Mcmuffin, etc.). It’s down by where you usually would have photos for related things on the blog. I’m not vegan (not. even. close.), but I thought you should know! Love your recipes, and I’m off to make your FroCo!

    Hey CCK,

    Absolutely LOVE your blog – and cant wait for your cookbook! One thing i must say i LOVE about your recipes – the fact that you include the measurements in grams, as well as cups! We dont use cup measurements here in Ireland, and constantly googling “cups to grams conversion” etc always gives different results- especially with gluten free flours (as they always weigh a little different etc).

    Anyway, my main point for commenting is to ask is there any way to contact you directly/privately? I wanted to ask you something that i didnt really want to share with the rest of the world! Its nothing bad, dont worry! Im just a bit embarrassed to ask publicly!!

    Best wishes,
    Michelle

    Hey Katie!
    First off I love your blog 🙂 so much yummy stuff!! Secondly for blog ideas, it would be awesome if you could post some non dessert recipes (totally appreciate this is a dessert blog by definition though!).. attempting to slowly become vegan so that would be mega useful! Cheers 🙂

    Nutella fudge pie!?!? Uh, YEAH!
    Also, this isn’t a full recipe, per say, but something I’d love to see you make is butterscotch chips, preferably sugar-free (I can’t have brown sugar, and have to limit my coconut sugar intake, due to my sugar sensitivity). That would be amazing in a deep dish cookie pie, or fudgey chocolate cookies!
    Thanks, as always, Katie! You’re my favorite, constant-go-to blogger.
