savoring the muffin (top)

On February 3, 2012 By

My muf­fin top is all that,
Whole grain, low-fat
You know you want a piece of that,
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.)

There is still one day to enter the draw­ing for a jar of Kelapo coconut oil!

All of your com­ments on last week’s post had me dream­ing about all things coconutty. One com­ment in par­tic­u­lar, by Ana, got me think­ing about mak­ing Almond Joy muffins.

On October 5, 2010 By

As the cooler weather sets in, I start to crave com­fort foods. While not nec­es­sar­ily look­ing for overly hearty fare, chilly nights and layer-weather beck­ons for some­thing that sticks to your ribs. Let’s take a stroll down mem­ory lane for some recipes that fit the bill.

mixin’ it up muffins

On October 5, 2009 By

I love muffins.

No, that is an under­state­ment. I LURVE muffins!

Muffins and cook­ies share a com­mon char­ac­ter­is­tic that I hold dear, which is why they are both such pop­u­lar items in our house. They are like a blank can­vas, beg­ging to be tin­kered with. So tasty and so ver­sa­tile, these treats have a […]

There is food being cooked! I haven’t had much to post lately because, frankly, we’ve been eat­ing ter­ri­bly bor­ing food. But I’ve been try­ing to mix it up a lit­tle bit, plus bring back some classics.

outside our vegan bubble

On March 23, 2009 By

It’s easy to insu­late your­self in the won­der­ful world of veg­gies and for­get that there are other brands, prod­ucts and forms of life out there. I’ve come across two things related to veg­an­ism in main­stream cul­ture that I thought you’d all be interested in.

The first one came in a coupon book I received in the […]
