Growing up we ate two kinds of pancakes: your average bisquick fluffy white flour pancakes and what we affectionately called “parent pancakes” (and still call them that to this day). Parent pancakes were a completely whole grain “healthy” pancake, at least until we drowned them in maple syrup.

I love a good sandwich. Delicious fillings + delicious bread?! Sign me up! Now usually sandwiches are a lunch or dinner item for me, and something that happens on the heels of pulling a freshly baked loaf of sourdough from the oven.
We have an addiction with a certain vegan maple breakfast sausage over here. Fellow seitan-loving Americans probably know which ones I’m talking about. And while we’re probably not going to stop buying them anytime soon (hello, convenience), I wanted to make a homemade version! And so, these tempeh maple breakfast sausage patties were created. A …

But sometimes you need to switch it up, and these vegan eggy bacon and chive muffins are perfect for that. They are easy to make and …
2016 was a big year for me. I got married to the best person, quit my job, went on a month long honeymoon-adventure road tripping across South Africa and Namibia (clocking in around 4,000 miles), came back, sold our home in Chicago, packed up and downsized our things (because, omg, the rent here), put our dog and …
