savoring the muffin (top)

On February 3, 2012 By

My muf­fin top is all that,
Whole grain, low-fat

But I just want to dance

Ah, 30 Rock. You win some and you lose some, but dammit when you win, you win big. (Although my all-time favorite is Were­wolf Bar Mitz­vah.)

On December 9, 2011 By

I love mak­ing muffins and cook­ies and cakes. And brown­ies. And bread. Who am I kid­ding, if it goes in the oven, I’m in love!

But every once in awhile, an odd sort of inspi­ra­tion strikes. This week was an exam­ple of it and I think I’ve invented my new favorite breakfast treat.

Typ­i­cally, I’m much more […]

a jolly good breakfast

On March 24, 2011 By

Eng­lish muffins are some­thing I have taken a lik­ing to more recently than the more pop­u­lar Amer­i­can break­fast sta­ple, the bagel. Yet they are lovely on their own account, ten­der with a hint of yeast, and I find them much more fun to dress up.

me lucky oats

On March 16, 2011 By

I will admit that some­times I judge things by their cover. Some­times you can’t help it though!

For years I longed to buy a can of McCann’s Irish Oats in the metal tin. It looked so retro and cool! And it’s from Ire­land! OMG!!!!1! (Don’t you love how illog­i­cal the consumer’s brain is?) But […]

cleanse thyself– you decide why

On March 9, 2011 By

Today is Ash Wednes­day, mark­ing the first day of Lent. It is also the day after Mardi Gras. Whether ask­ing for for­give­ness from above or ask­ing for for­give­ness from your liver, break­ing your fast with a deli­cious green smoothie is the way to go.

Stay with me here.

I know, I know. Sure, you’ve read […]

this one goes out to the ones I love

On February 10, 2011 By

I am adrift in a sea of tem­plates, CSS and code. Alas, I am mak­ing progress on my awe­some new improve­ments to nom! nom! nom! and shall be debut­ing them soon.

In the mean­time, here is a recipe from my upcom­ing book Have Your Cake and Vegan Too. Out of all 50 recipes, this is […]
