As promised in my last post, I have for you today a delicious coffee cake/muffin recipe. As I was panicking the day before my defense about whether to make coffee cake or muffins, I realized I didn’t have to choose: I could make coffee cake in muffin shapes! I adapted this recipe from The Savvy Vegetarian and […]

Pumpkin Pancakes
When I was a kid, my mom used to make this amazing pumpkin cake. It was moist, pumpkiny and nicely accented with fall spices. I’ve been craving pancakes lately, hence the recent savory zucchini pancakes, followed by the zucchini bread pancakes. Are we seeing a pattern here? Uh oh. I’ve also been reminiscing about that pumpkin cake and thought I should […]
Autumn Morning Glory Muffins
As I recall, I didn’t have my first morning glory muffin until later in life than I probably should have. I remember it well. I got one from Rainbow Grocery on Capitol Hill in Seattle and loved it (this was well before it, sadly, closed). I’ve been thinking about morning glory muffins a lot lately […]
Zucchini Bread Pancakes
Just in time for the weekend, here’s a recipe for a great Saturday morning breakfast or brunch. Not to be mistaken for the savory zucchini pancakes from last week, these are breakfast pancakes that taste just like zucchini bread. I’ve been daydreaming about these for a while now, imagining what they might taste like and […]
Nectarine Crumble on a Cloudy Morning

Thanks, Carrie, for a little inspiration on a cloudy morning! I love peaches […]
Raw Buckwheat Granola with Homemade Vanilla Hemp Milk
This weekend, I spent Saturday morning with a friend who I haven’t seen in ages. We went for a lovely walk at Lincoln Park along the water and then stopped in at Chaco Canyon Café in West Seattle on our way home for a little brunch. I’ve been doing a juice fast and/or eating only raw foods […]
Homemade Granola
The other day, Eric picked up an oat from the counter, ate it, and exclaimed, “I just found a yummy, cinnamony piece of oat on the counter!” “Oh!” I said, “I forgot! I made granola today!” It was so easy and low-impact a process I had forgotten all about it. This granola recipe is adapted from my […]
Banana Pancakes
Mornin’! And happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day for those in the US of A. This morning, Eric is home from work and we are waiting on a dryer repair person to arrive (our dryer finally kicked it and we’re hoping it will be able to be repaired). Clothes just don’t line-dry so well in […]
Morning Routines
People always seem to say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And I would have to agree. If I skip breakfast or eat something too sweet or not sustaining enough, I find that my day usually remains somewhat off-kilter. For me, it’s essential to eat something well-balanced, substantial and healthy in […]
