Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for March 15, 2025

Hello everyone! I hope you enjoyed this week of recipes for something a little different in the mid-winter doldrums, lol! I loved seeing everyone share their favorite recipes in the comments, ahhh!!

For folks wondering about the flaxseed, as a new Mom I went through a phase where I was tossing it into EVERYTHING—recipes, cereal, smoothies—sometimes with questionable results, lol. However, I’ve come to believe that phase was necessary in my life to strike gold when I put it in the cookies. It gave them a little heartiness and chewiness that I really enjoy.

And I saw some of the comments about the flaxseed egg substitution trick! Yes! I can endorse the flaxseed egg substitution method too. For each egg needed in a baking recipe; one tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with three tablespoons water. Stir and let sit a few minutes until it’s thickened. It’s a really good little baking trick to have right now, with the state of eggs, anxious-lol. My sister The Intruder has been a vegan for 10+ years, and so many of my recipes—including this one!—also have vegan versions for when I want to bake for her. To veganize this one, I recommend the flaxseed egg substitution, Earth’s balance vegan butter, and Enjoy Life brand chocolate chips (which are GREAT!)

We now return to our regularly scheduled BCN broadcasting! Let me know if you’d like this to become an occasional tradition!
