This is true! I guess I just get caught up in this idea of accuracy if a recipe accumulates a bunch of reviews like that over time. But also... it's just food and it's highly individual so ultimately not a huge deal lol.

Highly recommend cohabitating with dogs.

If you significantly alter a recipe from a website/blog, do you still leave a starred review? Why or why not? I go back and forth on deleting reviews like this from my site (both positive and negative).

I have the Zwilling long slot toaster and it’s great performance-wise, but an absolute unit in terms of size.

Not to pat myself on the back, but this recipe for vegan banana bread from my site is pretty spectacular. Just sweet enough, chocolate chunks, toasty pecans, and so tender.

I call for light spelt flour, but all purp, white whole wheat etc will work.

Hi! New to Bluesky and happy to be here. I've been sharing plant-based recipes on my blog since 2011 and published a cookbook in 2017. I also share a feel-good newsletter every week. I love gardening, mindfulness, my beautiful doggie angels, reading, board games, cooking outside and lifting heavy.
