You may think this is a small stack of pancakes, but it’s delicious. To me, it’s a beginning. Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes were the first recipe that I posted on Minimalist Baker. It was my first recipe on Minimalist Baker. I loved it and knew that it would be well-loved by everyone. It had to

Jalapeno Poppers: Their Origins It is believed by that the jalapeno Poppers originated in Texas and were possibly inspired by Mexican chiles Rellenos. Both peppers are stuffed with cheese. The only difference is that poblano-stuffed chiles are made from poblano. This recipe isn’t traditional. Instead, it is our plant-based version of the concept. Vegan Jalapeno Poppers

Sometimes, a recipe will ask you how to make it. These 30-minute lemony-glazed beauties were a perfect example. While browsing through Trader Joe’s, I spotted a new lemon next to my usual favorites: Meyer lemons. It excites me to experiment when things are in season where I live. Meyer lemon poppyseed muffins were the only thing I

I was reminded of our early marriage days, when we lived in Portland, late spring and early summer. Like I do today, I would make us breakfast every morning, and then we’d talk and sit with the windows wide open while getting ready for the day. John was not a pancake man. I’m not a

In the past year, I have had an easier time giving up dairy products like yogurt, ice cream, and cheese. However, pasta and pizza were harder for me. Recently, I discovered that pizza is delicious without cheese. Just add a healthy dose of vegan Parmesan. Pasta has been a mystery to me…until recently. For several

Although I am not a big bread eater, there’s something incredibly satisfying about a delicious breadstick that can be dipped into rich, tomato-based sauce to complete a pasta meal. We can all agree that we could benefit from having a breadstick recipe on hand for such occasions. To make these vegan babies even more delicious, I made a

The banana taste/sweetness must shine through. In this recipe, bananas can be used in place of an egg and a sweetener. Bananas are a fruit that has a lot going for them. It is easy to mix the batter. Add the ingredients, mash the banana, and wait for your grill to heat up. Dip, soak,

I’m not the kind of girl who orders only a salad when we go out. The girl I was used to being when I was overly concerned about my legs touching. No more. Give me a hamburger if I’m hungry. I’ll take a half-burger with half ketchup and tons of fries. Then, I am a

It’s not true that I’ve been to India. (Although Wes Anderson makes me want to go.) Nor can I say that I’ve eaten in the many Indian restaurants. But I’ve tried a few curries in the past, and I know exactly what I want in one. This recipe is everything I love about curries rolled up into one pan.

We eat pizza in our home at least once per week. If something terrible happens in the middle of the week (like we run out of Netflix shows), Wednesday is also pizza night. We love pizza, and because life is short, we will eat it. Since going dairy-free, I have struggled to give up my
