Vegan Banana Muffins - Oh yes, you read that right!

Look, I know.  "Vegan" is one of the dirty "v" words that omnivores find offensive to the ear.  To be honest, as a newly minted vegetarian, I find it a little disconcerting too.  But, sometimes, even a carnivore runs out of eggs and is too lazy to run to CVS or Jewel to pick some more up.

And though I'm not a carnivore, I did indeed run out of eggs.  And I had an itch to bake too.  Oh, and I had to make it "healthy" for Mike, the sig o, because he's freaking out about his high cholesterol.  So this recipe for "Vegan Banana Muffins" is not only vegan but also low in cholesterol.  Wait, I think that's something people can deal with:  low in cholesterol.  Phew.

And you know what?  Though these muffins may be a little denser than your typical omnivore banana muffin, I dare you to taste the difference in flavor.  In fact, I dare you to try them and tell me that they're not better than your favorite go-to banana muffin recipe.  Why?  Because this recipe has maximum banana flavor complemented with just enough sugar to keep you wanting more.  So without further ado...

Oh, yeah!

Under Construction

There are some new contributors to this blog, which I hope will ensure that there is more than one(ish) blog posting each week! 

Although I started this cooking blog as an unemployed lady, I have now entered the ranks of the underemployed!  You can add me to the list of over-educated yuppies working part-time at the local bakery.  Me?  I'm working at the Austrian Bakery here in Chicago.  But the new contributors, well, both have jobs; one is overpaid and under-worked and the other is over-worked and underpaid.  Who could these people be? 

None other than... my sisters Heather (overpaid) and Erin (underpaid).  Hopefully they both have a little something to add to this blog.  Though our employment statuses vary, we are all very frugal, and this blog will continue to reflect that!
