Golden Berry Thyme Muffins
ゴールデンベリータイムマフィン

I continue to enjoy baking muffins on the weekend.

Now I got a new pan, and it’s even more fun.

One of the fun parts of muffin-making is the process where I think about what I want to add to my muffins.

I was initially thinking about kumquats that I had been seeing at the local grocery store for a few weeks.

But when I finally decided to buy some, they were gone!

Instead, I found these beautiful golden berries.

I had tasted golden berries before, and I loved them.

They are slightly tart but very sweet, and I thought this would be great for muffins.

Eventually I decided to go with golden berries and thyme.

Sounds good, doesn’t it?

These are just out of the oven.

These are after I drizzled lemon icing and sprinkled fresh thyme leaves.

Aren’t they lovely?

This muffin goes well with black tea.

Delicious!

Breakfast Pizza
朝食ピザ

We have an awesome neighbor, who is a foodie and shares his homemade pizza crust with us.

This morning I remembered we still had his crust in the freezer, so I decided to make pizza for breakfast.

Tomato sauce, hash browns, vegan meatballs (cut into small pieces and flavored with spices and herbs), vegan “eggs,” onion, and green pepper.

This is before going into the oven.

This is just out of the oven.

I added “cheese” a few minutes before the pizza was ready to come out.

So good!

This time I used different type of “cheese” for this pizza.

I added a few things (nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, salt, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar) to my homemade vegan mayo,

I loved how beautifully it browned.

It also kept the creaminess and did not dry out (like some nut-based cheese does).
