~the best part about vegan baking~



has absolutely
nothing
to do with 
health benefits
or the fact that
to some
like me 
:)
it tastes better
because you know
there's good stuff
going in
while satisfying
that sweet tooth

often times
with fewer calories
to boot!



but 
that's not it either

sure there are growing numbers
of those with egg and milk
allergies
not to mention
new mamas
(hey jilly bean)
whose breastfed babes
can't tolerate dairy
and going vegan
just makes sense
especially if they'd like to enjoy 
a few hours
 of sleep at night
so...
when you want a cookie
and a cookie you 
must have
enter vegan baking



getting warmer
but
still not there

the number one reason
i encourage you 
to try
 vegan baking


you can lick the beaters

i seriously can't believe
that this hasn't been
talked about more

#lickthatbeater

followed by
scraping the bowl clean
with your finger
sampling
the raw goodness

without worry of
salmonella

just like when you were
a kid

remember
 those days
of 
blissful ignorance?

well
they can once again
be yours

Oh
happy day!

top of the muffin to you

i don't get it...
the defining of things



case in point
Old Maid New
a crafting
songwriting
God worshiping place
to hang out together



yoga 
one day
repurposing the next



lifestyling
vegan masterminding



throw in 
a wife's perspective
mother's club
homeschool woes and highlights sharing
grandmother's bragging



redecorating



maybe i should
organize my days
where mondays would be dedicated to
house-cleaning tips
tuesdays : creating

if only



if only
my mind worked that way

blessed are those who do



like you
however
one day i'm listening to country
the next ushers in a need
for Seger
i go with the flow
or try to
letting my inner child
that whimsical butterfly
direct my days
as much as she can
but alas
 we all have
parameters
that prevent us from
fluttering off too far



and so it goes

today as i was making
banana nut muffins
from a whole foods workshop
topping them with my favorite stuff
~hemp seed love~
making a few small-sized
 for
my little muffins
i thought of you

sure 
i could wait for something 
really special to happen
before stopping in
or
i could sit for a spell
while munching on one of these beauties
and 
just say 

hi...
how's it goin'

:)
