I did a little something crazy.
I made you something vegan. On a bacon blog. I KNOW.
But hear me out. First of all, let’s be real, this zucchini bread was never going to have bacon in it. Some things just aren’t meant to be. And I’ve just been so damn inspired by all the gorgeous vegan baked goods hovering around the food blogosphere lately (sticky buns, anyone?) that I have been dying to try my hand at some vegan baking. And boy, am I glad I did.
Happy spring, everyone!!!
Just kidding. It’s 25 degrees out today with a snowstorm coming this week. Spring has NOT SPRUNG in Chicago.
I had planned to do a light, fresh, healthy recipe today to celebrate the official start of spring. But then I was like, you know what, screw it, I’m making some super-loaded banana muffins all jacked up with dark chocolate and toasted pecans. Because in this cruel hell in which it’s still sub-freezing and snowing in late March, bathing suit season just seems really, really far away. And banana muffins sound really, really good right now.
