On Saturday’s post (https://blissfullu.com/2026/04/11/synchronicity-in-cooking-spring-2026/), I revealed most of the ingredients for this meal, and asked you to guess what I was making.

They are on the front lines of the battle for … More Meatless Monday, Minnesota Edition: Chocolate Babka French Toast
