I did something very silly…I traveled without my camera! I know, the horror! Half of my pictures from the past few days are sitting on the floor of my apartment and half of them are on my mom’s camera. So, Good News: I’ve been baking. Bad News: Recipes will be delayed. For now I leave [...]
Kiss me I’m Irish! Actually I’m I think I’m only 1/16th Irish (or something like that), but I’ll sing in Gaelic & guzzle pints of beer for this delicious Irish Soda Bread any day. I think it is best to have by the hunk. The ‘X’ sliced into the dough makes 4 perfect breaking points. [...]
I like to think that I will own a little cafe one day. Pastries, espresso, fancy sandwiches, wine, petite desserts…It will have it all of life’s guilty pleasures . Speaking of guilty pleasures, tonight I had a craving. A craving for crusty Italian bread with a delicate center. This bread I speak of goes by [...]
French Onion Soup aka Soup-for-the-Single-Girl-with-Bread-and-Cheese-that-Needs-to-be-Used. This was sweet, doughy, cheesy and nutty from the comte cheese broiled on top. Believe it or not I almost couldn’t finish my bowl! I never realized how filling onions could be. Er…maybe it was a combination of everything. I’m glad I didn’t have any engagements after eating this. My [...]
Wow. It has been a busy week. Thank goodness for crock pots! Slow Cooked Split Pea Soup and Melted Cheddar Toast. Yep. A thick slice of Miche toasted and Cheddar Cheese melted on top. Even better. Essentially I threw a bunch of things in a crock pot, went to work and came home to a [...]
In all fairness, I am a big fan of the weekend in general, however; Sunday has a special place in my heart. Growing up Sunday was a time for family. We slept in, went to church and spent the day relaxing together over a luscious brunch prepared by my dad and hearty early dinner. Living [...]
Yesterday, for no apparent reason, I decided to make bread. Walnut-Wheat Sourdough to be exact. I cheered when it came out of the oven looking normal. While it was cooling, I decided to postpone my planned menu for Sunday’s dinner (which I’m even more excited about!) and make the bread the star of my meal. [...]
The holidays are always slightly bittersweet for me. I completely indulge in the comfort of my family, home and luxurious foods. I had a hard time leaving my parents today but knew it was time to get back into my everyday routine. Sadly all good things must come to an end. As much as I [...]
Happy New Year’s Eve! Where did the year go? I’ve been taking time to reflect on this past year, with hopes of an even better 2011. I’ve had a lot of great foods this past year and want to thank you all for your encouragement and support. Going through my photos, I realized that I [...]
I’m having a moment. Words to describe this bread are not coming easily. It was that good.Hello lover. Let’s get cooking.
