Let's bake some treats, review some recipes and test equipment
An alternative to the usual cinnamon bun Don’t get me wrong. I do like a good cinnamon bun but when I saw this recipe, I knew I had to try it. I love the taste of cardamom in baking. I didn’t grow up in a household that used this spice in baking so for me, […]
Growing up I did not like rye bread. My grandparents would have it at their house and when we would visit, I would always hope for a loaf of good ol’ white wonder bread. Funny how your tastes change as an adult. I took a little bit of a break from making bread lately but […]
Lodge Cast Iron It was almost lunchtime and I hadn’t planned for anything earlier. I remembered that I had chicken burgers but I didn’t have any buns to use. Typical hamburger buns need at least an hour to rise after you make them so I knew those were out of the question. Enter Lodge Spoon […]
Orange-flavoured, soft pillowy dough knots of goodness I was at an Indigo store looking around and found a food magazine that piqued my interest. I don’t tend to buy magazines since in some cases they cost more than an actual whole recipe book but this one was interesting. Maybe I was hungry but all the […]
When you just have too much zucchini I have a smallish vegetable and fruit garden that I plant each year. I’m not a professional gardener by any stretch of the imagination, but I love to get into my garden and see what grows. I always plant one or two zucchini plants and usually, I only […]
Patience and it will happen This is going to be a longer post. I do suggest reading it as I give some background information on making sourdough bread that may save you some heartache. But, if you are impatient like me, you can jump down to the recipe. I know the events of the last […]
Recipe from Lodge Cast Iron Way back when, months ago, May 14th, 2022, it was biscuit day. Lodge Cast Iron sent me an email with two recipes for biscuits to celebrate this fun day. I saved the email with the thought that I would make these two recipes. I went with the Butter Swim Biscuits […]
Hint of Orange French toast made with homemade white sandwich bread. If you didn’t see the post where I made this bread, you can find it here. I decided to make french toast with my homemade sandwich bread. But not just any french toast, hint of orange flavoured french toast! I’m sure everyone knows the […]
I haven’t made bread in a while. No particular reason why, it just hasn’t happened. While I was waiting for the revival of my sour dough starter, I figured I would make a couple quick loaves of just plain squishy white sandwich bread. This is my son’s favorite. He loves to eat slices plain. He […]
It’s a cold, wintery Saturday and we decided supper should be cheese ravioli and what’s pasta without bread. I remembered that this recipe book had a recipe for Ciabattas and this was the perfect time to try it out. Several months ago I purchased a large plastic square container for this recipe specifically. I had […]
