This vegetarian butternut squash goat cheese lasagne makes for perfect winter comfort food.
Well its been a week of ups and downs returning to work. On the one hand I love being back at the office, on the other I miss James terribly. Fortunately I have had our upcoming trip to England to look forward to, so the short stint back has seemed manageable.
I have been cooking in big batches to save time (and my sanity…!) through the week. This butternut goat cheese lasagne made an appearance in last weeks line up, and Kirk and I were feasting on the leftovers for DAYS. Is it me or is leftover lasagne The. Best.? I can (and did…) eat this stuff cold and directly from the pan…
I love this vegetable heavy version with its alternating sweet and tangy layers. A sprinkling of sage and walnuts add to its all round cosiness and suitability for these last weeks of winter. Creamy, cheesy, rich and super satisfying, just the way a lasagne should be!

Picture the scene: it is my first day on maternity leave, Kirk has left for work and I am alone, left to my own devices. It is cold and snowy, but I am all cozy inside my little cocoon. I want something special for breakfast, something warm and comforting, something to celebrate 9 long months of growing this babe. Only a baked good will do! A quick google search yields the perfect solution: a single serve muffin! Yodelay! A few small adaptions later and my chocolate chip cinnamon muffin for one was warm from the oven and ready to be devoured.
I agree, the fact I am touting baked goods after all of the holiday indulgences may seem like poor timing. I’m sure many of you are on a detox now, or at least keeping to your resolutions. Fear not. I have no intention of sabotaging you fine folk, this muffin recipe is not like the others. Lets take a closer look, this chocolate chip cinnamon muffin for one is:
Best of all, this recipe is for one solitary muffin, which means there are not a eleven other muffins calling your name when you’re done. Are you sold? Get baking!

Ensure you get vegan chocolate chips if you want your muffin to be totally vegan!
You can also bake this muffin in the microwave: pour the batter into a ramekin and bake for 1-1.30 minutes on high. However, the consistency is nicer if you bake in the oven.
