Bake it up, Baby
This smoothie might be the easiest recipe I’ve ever posted, and there have been many.

Despite the fact that Wesleyan is the runner-up for most vegan/vegetarian friendly campus in the country, there are still a couple things I just don’t get to enjoy as regularly when I’m at school.
One of those being kale. (Also: baked tofu, berries, pesto). Kale is my salad green of choice, and often, the spinach or spring mix at the cafeteria just doesn’t cut it for me….
If there’s one type of recipe I always make when I want to bake, it’s banana muffins.
Or banana bread. Why? Because I always have bananas lying around. And add some flour and sugar and you’re basically halfway to a delicious baked good!…

No, no, it’s not like I’m saying I’m the health queen at school (I think the lady at the late night falafel truck definitely knows me by face…), but noodles and noodle soup are definitely something that I like to make myself.

Guys, it’s officially Thanksgiving week!

And even though I made these muffins 3 times in one week and basically ate the entire batch, I’m still going to make sure these muffins are the first thing I stick in the oven next weekend….
This is my 100th post! I feel like I should do something special, like they do with TV shows.
You know, like bake a cake with an obnoxiously large “100th!” topper and get all my friends around to take pictures with champagne glasses. Except… I’m at college….
Oh, kitchen fails. When your counter has been floured, wiped down, and floured again and you are slowly depleting your brown sugar supply with nothing to show for it.
Sometimes, (especially when it comes to vegan baking) things (yes I’m talking about you, crumbly linzer cookies!) don’t work out. So I like to beat the complicated-baking-frustration with simple but delicious foods….
