Breakfast! Let’s Eat Cake.
Remember those maple sweetened almond zucchini mini-muffins? I do. They’ve become one of our favorite grab-and-go gluten-free treats. I tuck a bag of them- fresh out of the freezer- into my bulging purse knapsack beach bag tote whenever we venture far afield. Like. The Valley. Because, well. You never know. It can get crazy. In L.A. you might end up jammed on the 405. Stuck as in four lanes = a parking lot stuck. Stuck as in, Dude that’s my hunger growling louder than Kurt Cobain’s rasp on the rattling radio speaker pleading…
What else could I be? All apologies.
I know this from experience. I learned the hard way (the way I learn most things in life). Driving in L.A. can lead to stop-n-go squatting in the baking sun. And a where is my nail file and why did I leave the apartment without food and water and ice in a cooler panic. Because the thirty-three minutes it took yesterday to get to Studio City is seventy-five minutes today.
That’s when I started imagining a zucchini cake.
For breakfast.
On the 405.
