What's for breakfast

Berry-Banana Smoothie and corn muffins

Food Critic

I made a Dutch Apple pie for Thanksgiving dinner and to be honest I was not satisfied with the results. My mom ate it so it must have been good. Believe me if it had been an epic fail she would have made a face and said, "we can't give this to your father." It may have been the apples. I don't use granny smiths and I usually add a bit of agave nectar. I loved granny smiths however presently I find them just too tart and the texture far too crunchy. I'm sticking with Jonathan Golds, Braeburns or Gala's for my future pies.



I decided to make jelly filled oatbran muffins tonight. The recipie is easy peesy and each muffin has for grams of fiber.

Restaurant Rave: Teapot Vegetarian House

So my mum surprised me with a new find. Teapot Vegetarian House, named one of the best restaurants in Seattle, offers its diners a (ALL VEGAN) menu. They also have an extensive list of teas.

We ordered the Mandarin Crispy Tofu, Sweet and Spicy Eggplant, Udon noodles with "beef" and Green Curry. For dessert we shared mango "cheesecake". If you're ever in the Emerald City do visit.


*Note we ate at the Redmond location.
