I wish I were a Mountain. Mysterious. Rugged. Mountains are beautiful, but not because they're trying to be. They just are. Mountains don't read self-help books to be happier or more agreeable. As a result, people write books about them. Take their picture. Exalt them in poetry.
I would like to have a Mountain for a friend, to understand them more; to learn from the wisdom they've acquired through the years. Here's my story about my mysterious mountainous friend, Helena.

Today is the fourth post in the series, Sandwich #7, The Cheesy Mac and Rib Sandwich. It comes with a message - some assembly required - but trust me, the prize at the end is definitely worth the ride!

Did you know today is National Banana Bread Day? Today's post is a nice variation on the banana bread theme. This recipe results in a dense and moist cake that's even better with some shaved chocolate on top!

My family has started a new tradition, thanks to this series, America's Top 10 New Sandwiches...Veganized! Each Saturday night we're making the sandwich from Friday's post. It's turning out some very fun Saturday night dinners at our house!
Now I'm counting down the minutes for Saturday afternoon to arrive so I can make Sandwich #8, The Vegan Crispy Drunken Chicken Sandwich!

Do you ever have one of those days where nothing seems like it works? For me that sometimes leads to throwing my own personal pity party.
On those days, what I want is chocolate. And to be left completely alone!
But I'm learning that what I want and what I need are entirely different.
Here are my tricks to surviving those bad days.

I have another new year's resolution to add to the list. Dessert first!
Erma Bombeck provided the clarion call when she said, "Seize the moment. Remember all those women on the Titanic who waved off the dessert cart!"
I offer today's recipe, Vegan Cream-Filled Cupcakes, in honor of desserts first. And chocolate. Oh, and love.
