The Green Market Baking Book is full of recipes by amazing chefs like Alice Waters and Dan Barber. And Chef Ann Cooper! The recipe is actually vegan, but I didn’t have half the items on hand. So then I did what I do best…took the inspiration and ran with it…making an entirely new recipe altogether. And they wound up tasting AWESOME. So here’s what you need. Peanut Butter and Jelly Thumbprint Muffins (vegan) Ingredients: [dry] 1 cup whole wheat flour 1/4 cup coconut flour* 2 tbsp whole rolled oats 1 tbsp brown sugar 1/2 cup… Read more >

After a generous amount of research Laura and I had determined the two day museum pass was definitely the most cost effective option for Paris sight-seeing. It was 35 Euro and included nearly everything we wanted to do, including admission to the Palace in Versailles. Seeing as Laura and… Read more >
