After something crazy like almost 800 posts I feel what could I possibly do to keep the flavor alive on the blog? It certainly makes me think harder about new combinations and flavors. A bowl of brown bananas has to be used for banana bread, and luckily the variations for banana bread are pretty endless!

I’m still having a love affair with curds. Now that it’s summer the zingy sweetness is so refreshing and irresistible. The lemon curd here isn’t paired with just any plain cake but an almond based cake that has a more dense crumb and a fluffy “fast” meringue made with marshmallows.

The vegan romance novel that I reviewed a few months ago has a sequel! Skinny B Gets Hitched continues where the first book left off. Clementine is running her successful and tofutastic new restaurant, ‘Clementine’s No Crap Cafe’, and after a whirlwind romance is planning a wedding to her carnivore beau, Zach.

Maybe it was the weekend’s warm weather but I was feeling extra adventurous on Saturday. After a lovely morning sat in the sunshine having coffee and running errands I dropped into Michael’s for some supplies to make a new wreath.

I was so excited when I woke up on Saturday morning. The sun was shining and when my feet hit the floor they didn’t feel like ice cubes. It was a long hard winter for us. We weren’t used to sub zero temperatures and it was a tough few months.
