Morning, noon, and night. Recipes. For love potion, for disaster. Or for, well, cupcakes fit for the food intolerant\u00a0that are fit for everyone as well. I\u2019ve done my fair share of gluten free & dairy free baking due to an affection for a few of those afflicted by allergies, celiac, or a tender conscience. It\u2019s not common place, but I do it. Gladly, really. In the end it\u2019s all just science, this chemical reacting with that and heat, heat, heat. And then you lick your fingers, leave crumbs. It\u2019s all cake in the end. You\u2019ll like these. They aren\u2019t \u201cgood for gluten free vegan\u201d. They\u2019re just good.<\/p>\n

When Tiffany<\/a> & Kappel<\/a> decided to come down for a visit\u00a0we brain stormed on a friendly food for baking. No dairy, no gluten, no eggs between the two of them. At first I voted nougat, but damn eggs. I\u00a0recalled some vegan cupcakes I\u2019d baked for a bridal shower in a different life. We decided to make them our own with coconut oil, hemp seed milk, and lavender.\u00a0I\u2019d always wanted to whip coconut cream, so that was a simple solution for frosting. The vegan\u2019s chantilly\u00a0if you add agave\u00a0instead of honey. But I went with honey.<\/p>\n

Baking with Tiffany<\/a> in my kitchen is quickly becoming one of my favorite past times. We listen to old Phil Spector recordings (The Cystals & Ronettes are favorites) and do the twist. No pretense. No\u00a0boring, boring agendas. Just two chicks that really get a thrill out of baking stuff, standing on ladders, holding their breath, and photographing said baked goods. Match made in heaven.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m enjoying making a home of this Tennessee house while I\u2019m here. I\u2019ve been popping down to my favorite breakfast place\/coffee shop The Farmer\u2019s Daughter<\/a> & Copacetic Coffee<\/a> for my daily cortado. Taken yoga back up again. Gone to dinner with my mom, aunt, and sister-in-law. Really succeeded at being human these past few weeks.\u00a0But all the while a road is winding in the back of my mind. Geometric airport light looms. Days alone stretch out before me. Foreign tongue & coin jangle. I like this home thing. But I fidget still for the adventure. I\u2019m so happy I can have my (vegan, gluten free) cupcakes and eat them too.<\/p>\n
