Baking Powder Substitutes
Christ is risen! I have been baking so much lately to the point that I ran out of baking powder! I normally always have this ingredient on hand. When I go grocery shopping, I will pick some up with the thought, “I am low or may need this, I should get it.” Well, lately I…

Chocolate Babka (Polish Bread) by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau
Christ is risen! I came across this recipe and decided to give it a try! I started to first make bread with the sun dried tomato bread recipe I posted recently. I felt inspired to keep learning about bread making. The kneading, to be quite frank, is the part that discouraged from making bread but…

Sun-Dried Tomato Bread
Christ is risen! Summer is here, which means tomatoes are making an appearance and beginning to be in abundance. I am not a raw tomato person per se, except I don’t mind the occasional pasta all pomodoro, salsa, and ketchup. It’s odd that I am okay with cooked tomatoes but raw gives me nausea by…

Vegan Crab Cakes from Vegan Huggs Blog
Christ is risen! This has been my personal favorite faux crab cakes recipe. I stumbled upon it years ago and it’s my go to since. It is very easy to make, and if you don’t have chickpeas on hand, canned artichoke hearts can be used– I’ve tried it both ways and both are excellent. When…
