Just a few words about this blog before we talk about muffins. A lot has changed since the last time I posted on here. My daughter was born two days after I posted a pesto recipe back in September, and in June we moved halfway around the world in the middle of a global pandemic …

I don’t typically like the flavor of pesto (may have something to do with a particularly bad experience after eating a pesto pizza years ago), but when my wife suggested a pesto as a way to use some sun-dried tomatoes we got recently, I decided to give it a try. We didn’t have access to …
This recipe came out of a dilemma I had: I really wanted to make veggie burgers, but we had let someone borrow our can opener and had not yet gotten it back, so I couldn’t open any of the cans of black beans in our pantry. What we did have was a big bag of …
Is there a word to describe the flavor of legumes like pigeon peas and lentils? I was trying to think of it for the longest time as an intro to this post, but I just can’t. You know what I mean though? That savory, lentil-y flavor? Well, whatever it’s called, this dish has plenty of …

This was something I threw together quickly the other night when we just needed food fast, and it kind of tastes like it. There are definitely better ways to make a vegan alfredo, but this does all come together in about 25 minutes if you’re on top of things, so there’s that. Not much more …

There’s really nothing like the taste of vegan bacon in the morning. Yes, of course there’s actual bacon, but apart from the cruelty aspect of it, I think actually I prefer the taste and texture of this. And yes, I do remember what real bacon is like, it wasn’t that long ago for me. This …
I was really turned off by seitan the first time I tried to make it. It’s not that I didn’t like the taste or texture, just that it felt like a huge chore to make. It took a long time for me to come around to trying to make it again. What finally won me …
