Vegan Strawberry Gelato
This vegan strawberry gelato is what resulted when I had a new gelato machine to play with and soymilk left over from a recipe. Mix needs to be refrigerated for several hours before churning, so allow time.
Lemon Poppyseed Muffins with Lemon Glaze
Moist poppyseed muffins with a hint of lemon come alive with a tart lemon glaze. So good you can't eat just one! You can substitute yogurt for the sour cream, if desired.
