So many times we make fish tacos or something and then have leftover soft tortillas, which usually go to waste. Instead of letting them go to waste this time, I made tortilla chips. These took so little time to prepare and the taste was so fresh. You can season them any way you wish. I [...]
Unfortunately I probably won’t be able to enjoy these since I’m getting over a stomach virus that put me in the ER for the day on Monday, but at least I can enjoy the smell! I decided to make these because a)I had everything home and I didn’t feel well enough to go to the [...]
Now I’m not Jewish, but when I see the freshly baked challah start to come into the market around Hanukkah, I can’t help but get in the kitchen and make one myself. Challah is so deliciously sweet and it makes the kitchen smell wonderful (even more wonderful when there is beef stew simmering in the dutch oven!) [...]
Breakfast for dinner tonight! We made whole wheat blueberry pancakes (http://dessertcomesfirst.wordpress.com/?s=pancakes) with turkey bacon and these delicious buttermilk biscuits. The recipe calls for all purpose flour and cake flour. If you don’t have cake flour, you can use this formula (1 cup flour-2tbs of the flour+2tbs corn starch). I wouldn’t suggest doing this if making [...]
I can’t believe this is the first time I’ve baked with pumpkin this season, but I guess that’s probably because we’ve been apple picking twice already. Yesterday I bought a huge can of pumpkin and began my pumpkin baking with scones. These scones are pretty similar to the ones ar Starbucks. They’re baked at a [...]
For dinner, we had bowtie pasta with fresh mozzarella, grape tomatoes, crushed red pepper, and basil. We had a salad, a light red wine, and these yummy whole wheat dinner rolls on the side. The rolls were a last minute addition. They were so easy to throw together, only 50 minutes rising time total. You [...]
We’ve really been working on eating organic foods lately. I’m tired of putting food in my body that has been made with weird chemicals with unpronounceable names. To me, there’s nothing more organic than handmaking and kneading bread at home AND what can be better than homemade English Muffins with those tasty nooks and crannies [...]
So I had leftover pumpkin and decided it was finally time to make those scones I have been saying I would make. Like the pecan pie, I’ve never made pumpkin scones. Again, I found a recipe that looked good and had at it. They were SO easy to put together and only 10 minutes to [...]
I had a ton of buttermilk leftover from making the Apple Cider donuts last weekend, so I needed to find a recipe that used buttermilk. I never made scones before, so I decided to give this recipe from joyofbaking.com a try. They came out perfectly. I really like the flavor they have. I didn’t have [...]
