Lemon Poppy Seed MuffinsLight and lovely muffins with a lemony mouth burst. These muffins have terrific texture and a really nice crumb. Yes, I said 'crumb'. Ooooh la la. That's almost like an official food word. These are an Isa tester and are delicious!
Buffalo PizzaLet me start off by saying, I wasn't sure if I should post this picture. After all, unless you're a hard core seitan lover, this photo won't do it for you. But then I looked closer and noticed that you can see the awesomeness that is the crust under all that piled-high and wonderfully seasoned seitan. Besides, it tasted too incredible not to post. This one is a tester for Joanna and may be the first hit single of the album when it's released. In the meantime, I've got extra pizza dough in the freezer so I can keep replaying it.
I thought I'd take a minute to thank the cookbook authors who generously allow me to test recipes for them. Because of Isa's book and any recipe testing that followed, I've actually learned to be a thinking cook. Because of them, I've tried ingredients I had never even thought to use. By extension, I've tried combos that stretch the limits of my imagination. When I stop to think how many times I've made pad thai, then realize I could do a tester for dinner instead, I get a jolt of excitement. Don't get me wrong, I love pad thai, but I guess I love the sense of food adventure even more. Thank you for launching me on this cooking journey.
And thank you, if you are reading this blog and sharing the travels with me.

I'm definitely going to have to buy both of those cookbooks! I need those muffins and that pizza!
I'm Bohemian. We have poppy seeds in our blood! Although I'm not a fan of the buffalo portion of the pizza the crust looks gorgeous! Thin and slightly crispy! Perfect!
