Vegan Double Chocolate Muffins
When things feel particularly uncertain or unknowable, it’s usually my first instinct to bake. Baking sweet things is one of the ways that I remind myself of the sweetness of life, especially when I’m getting lots of reminders to the contrary. And there’s comfort in the ritual, too: baking, measuring, following a recipe. Baking is more science than art, and the precision is part of what I find soothing. This was one of those happy baking projects in which I was pretty sure…

Want to Help Bees? Leave the Dandelions Alone This Spring
When I was younger, I loved dandelions. When someone told me “they are just weeds,” I took that as a personal offense. After all, they’re just a pretty shade of yellow and they are the only “flowers” on the lawn my parents won’t get mad at me for picking and weaving into my hair. It…
