I apologize for my lack of posting on happyherbivore.com recently. It isn't for a lack of not cooking, either. Quite the opposite in fact! I've been busy in the kitchen cooking my pants off. I've been flinging recipes right and left but not for happyherbivore.com --- for my cookbook! I am very excited to announce that BenBella Books, the kickass publisher of The China Study, will be publishing my first-ever cookbook!

The cookbook will be released probably a year …

Somehow I made it through childhood without ever making a gingerbread house. It's something I've wanted to do for a few years now and have never got around to it.

I love cornbread, but I also love biscuits. I brought them together for this recipe and my goodness -- what a perfect match! These biscuits are a little sweet too -- perfect for a sunny Sunday brunch. I like to smear a little Earth Balance over the tops of the biscuits when they're still warm. Not exactly fat-free but a nice treat every now and then. These biscuits are also great with vegetarian chili.
