The night after my Confessions of a Food Blogger post went live, I sat in my bed with my perfectly terrible posture and read and read and read and re-read again your incredibly moving responses. I literally LOLed multiple times, and I don’t even use that word. I cried real tears. I tasted the utter happiness. It was salty. I prefer popcorn. But seriously, I feel like something happened there. I feel like we’re all united now by this beautiful bloggy bond. I like to cook, you like to eat. We were made for each other. We’re all friends…like the real kind. The kind that tells you when you have spinach in your teeth and you’re all like “actually it’s organic kale so you can suck it.” The kind that wants to go out on a Friday night and flirt with tall, dark, handsome, smart, funny, honest, sweet, ambitious men but stays in with you because deep down she knows you burned a batch of cookies. Twice. Please, for me, savor every dark chocolate chip in these miraculous muffies. If that means quadrupling the chocolate chips, then I’m all for it. I demand that you celebrate yo’self. Consider this post my love letter to you all. I really do adore each and every one of you a weird amount. Consider these muffins your belated Valentine’s Day present. I wish I could wrap them up and send three dozen to you. I’d ask for your addresses but I think I’d quickly go from appreciative blogger to holy-moly-I-think-she-just-ate-too-much-hummus-ima-call-the-cops blogger. If you tried and loved my vegan chocolate banana muffins (I mean how could you not?), then you’re going to be all kinds of excited about this new rendition. These ones are naturally sweetened with medjool dates as well, but this time they don’t even have a drop of oil. I know. You can’t even. I la la love you. With all my hummus. I mean heart.
