This Japanese eggplant recipe is all about bold umami flavor and perfectly tender texture. When cooked right, eggplant becomes one of the most satisfying veggies—and this recipe shows you how.

I love experimenting in the kitchen, especially with baking. This is my take on a healthier version of the classic morning glory muffin. While most bakeries offer these muffins—and they seem healthy thanks to the carrots—they’re often loaded with refined sugar and processed ingredients. Adding a vegetable doesn’t automatically make a pastry nutritious! So, I reimagined the recipe to be refined sugar-free and optionally gluten-free. I even snuck in an extra veggie: zucchini! Give my version a try and let me know what you think.

A simple, seasonal recipe inspired by a classic Caprese salad—using sun-ripened cherry tomatoes, garden-fresh basil, and vegan feta. It's a fresh, customizable summer dish perfect for showcasing peak-season produce and creative twists on tradition.
