No ideas but in things

I'm the author of the chapbook "Call it a Window" (Midwest Writing Center, 2012). This is a collection of inspirations.
These cornmeal pancakes (with vanilla and pine nuts) look super easy to veganize. Maybe I’ll make them for dinner tonight (because breakfast for dinner is my favorite).

Where should I get #vegan food in Washington, DC?

You put a baby in a crib with an apple and a rabbit. If it eats the rabbit and plays with the apple, I’ll buy you a new car.

I can't stop making these oatmeal bars.

Changes made:

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour instead of Kamut flour
  • Flaxseed instead of chia seeds
  • Coconut oil instead of Earth Balance
  • Shredded coconut instead of sesame seeds
  • Rhubarb jam instead of strawberry jam

What’s your favorite Sunday evening recipe?

Ughhh I hate it when you add soy milk/hemp milk/almond milk to coffee and it separates and looks like vomit. So gross.

Spring Break, Day 6:

  • Grading and coffee in the early morning (to the sound of jackhammers?!) then did hot yoga at Yoga to the People
  • Got two free class cards to Yoga to the People #ftw
  • Drowning in rejection letters
  • I think the ridiculous amount of clothing I ordered from American Apparel should be arriving today …
  • Sending off my full-length manuscript to Prairie Schooner, Slope Editions, and Jabberwock Review. The deadline for all of them is tomorrow.
  • Is there a better way of dealing with rejection letters than baking vegan treats? I think not.

Check out these #vegan banana muffins. I am officially the best roommate ever.
Edited to add: I used this recipe from the Post Punk Kitchen, except I used banana instead of pumpkin, used 1 cup all-purpose flour and 3/4 cup whole wheat flour, cut the sugar by 1/4 cup, replaced 1/4 cup of the oil with an extra 1/4 cup of banana, and cut out 1 tablespoon of molasses. And they’re delicious.

Apparently you can grill watermelon. I’m not sure how I feel about this.
