The weather in Manhattan has been anything, but cheerful for the past few days. We went from Sunny, hot and humid, to cold and wet overnight. Ive never been very good at sitting around inside doing nothing, so I decided to take advantage of being forced indoors to work on some summer knits for Christian and do some vegan baking for me.
Since having the baby I've had to become a vegan baker, as he has allergies to eggs, dairy and peanut butter and as a nursing mom that means I too have allergies to those foods for the time as well. It was a struggle for the first month to find good sources for recipe inspiration on vegan baking, however Ive learned there are quite a few. One of my favorites is www.minimalistbaker.com , they have a recipe for a deep dish apple crumble pie . However, it is not apple season, and what I had in the house were nectarines and cherries. I followed their pie crust recipe and then altered the filling and toppings to what I had at home, ending in a flavorful spring nectarine and cherry crumble pie with walnuts.
I stumbled upon a Norwegian baby knit pattern site this week, and immediately ordered a few of their patterns. www.Paelas.com has adorable knit patterns for baby and toddler that are in both Norwegian and English, and are easy to read. I made Quick Knit Suit for warm summer days in the park and am working on their popcorn suit this morning while the house is still asleep.
Let's hope this weather turns around soon!
