Finally. I have missed more than one of the Daring Bakers challenges in the last few months. I am glad that I got back on track with this one! The March 2011 Daring Baker’s Challenge was hosted by Ria of Ria’s Collection and Jamie of Life’s a Feast. Ria and Jamie challenged The Daring Bakers [...]

For Christmas I got this book, Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day, from my mother-in-law. Thanks, Kate! I have always felt a little negative toward yeast and yeast breads. I have had some success with yeast doughs, but not enough to make me feel very confident. This book makes bread baking seem accessible and [...] I bought a bag of cranberries last week for no reason. I found a delicious recipe for cranberry bread on Martha Stewart.com. Here is the link. Here are the changes I made; I used 2% instead of whole milk and I sprinkled the top with granulated sugar instead of the turbinado. This is a dense, [...] What a great challenge for Christmastime. I wish I’d had a huge family to share this with. I’d bring it out on a lovely platter. Everyone would ooh and aah over this lovely sugar coated, fruit and nut filled bread. But it is just me, Ben and the new baby at home…and the new baby [...] This is the second time around for me and these bran muffins from Ina Garten. The first time I made them I followed the recipe exactly…well, I did leave out the orange zest. They were terrific. There wasn’t a real need to change anything.

I found this [...] Some people have asked me how I choose the recipes I put on this blog. I usually put any new recipe I try, because usually everything is pretty good and worth sharing. But usually does not mean always. Let’s use a bread recipe as an example. I have been on a mission to rid my [...] These muffins, while a tad bit crumbly, are so incredibly delicious. I have a true and undying love for pecans, and so these had me from the very beginning. The combination of cinnamon and pecans in these muffins is wonderful, and greasing and sugaring the muffins cups gave them such a great crunchy, sweet exterior. [...] When I first started to get a little crazy about baking in college I asked for this Martha Stewart Baking Handbook cookbook for Christmas. I used it quite a bit at the beginning as evidenced by the flour crusted on the front cover and bits of food scattered on some of the pages. Sadly, I [...] Last week I made pulled chicken BBQ sandwiches and made cole slaw as a side dish. The cole slaw used mostly plain yogurt and just a few tablespoons of mayo. I had to buy a big container of plain yogurt since everything in the small containers was flavored. What to do with an entire pint [...] |
