Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I’ve never actually had Trader Joe’s spicy lentil wraps, but when I saw this recipe on the Kitchn, I knew I had to try it. And now that I know I can make these babies at home, I may never experience the TJs original. As many of you know by...

Vegan Guinness Chocolate Stout Cupcakes with Irish Whiskey Ganache

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

My mom recently put in a request for this cake for the birthday of a dear friend and colleague who is a fan of all things Irish (including, I hope, Irish whiskey ganache). “By the way” she asked, “is it vegan?” I ran through the ingredients in my head: butter,...
