Bakery Style Berry Muffins

We have had a string of bad luck in our household recently so I haven't been online so much & am a bit behind with blog pots & haven't been doing cooking a whole lot of inspiring food anyway.
But, I have still been doing some baking & this week I made mini berry muffins using the recipe for Bakery Style Berry Muffins from Vegan Brunch.  These are really good, especially right out of the oven when they are crunchy on top.  For some reason my muffins always go soft when stored which I don't like so much. 

By far the worst thing that has happened in our household in the last week is that it looks like one of our cats is really, really sick.  He has gone from a seemingly perfectly healthy cat to looking like he will only be with us for a few more months.  Make sure you give your furry friends lots of cuddles & enjoy them while you can.

Sushi

Sushi for dinner tonight. I used this recipe for the rice & filled the sushi with tofu (which I marinated in okonomiyaki sauce, crumbed in panko & fried in a tiny but of peanut oil), cucumber & avocado. I served it with the same salad from last night.


Plus a picture of Sawyer when he was on his way to the cattery for a holiday :)

Felafels

I have never made my own felafels before but thought I would try them out tonight since I had a bunch of parsley in the fridge which was calling out to be made into tabouli. I used this recipe, but I baked them instead of frying & pressed some sesame seeds into the top before baking. I served them on top of tabouli which I poured a tahini dressing on (just tahini, lemon juice, warm water & garlic). The felafels were ok but I found them quite onion-y & a bit bland. Mixed with the tabouli they were better but, to be perfectly honest, I think I prefer the packet mix that you
can buy! Maybe I just need a better recipe?
