Bringing "back in the day" back to today
The name garbage bread probably doesn’t invoke a lot of great culinary emotions, but don’t let the name hold you back, this is a great recipe. It’s a great recipe for a party or for the big game. It takes only a few ingredients and anyone can make it. It is a real crowd pleaser. …
My apologies, we have been so slow with updates this week. Sunshine has been in short supply and beautiful pictures of our food have not been happening! We continued our quest for tasty wheat bread this week by trying this recipe from the King Arthur flour website.
One of the challenges when you start baking your own bread is that you sometimes end up with bread that isn’t going to get eaten and is about to go completely stale. This is where this french toast recipe comes in. All you need is eggs, milk and your favorite flavorings. Growing up, my mother …

Sticking to our “no purchased bread” rule meant figuring out how to make sub rolls. My quest resulted in the ugly ducklings pictured above. Do not let these pictures discourage …
I really must have been been in a carb coma. About two weeks ago I wrote about my pulled buffalo chicken sandwiches served on a pretzel roll. I was going to write up the recipe for the rolls after I woke from my nap. If only I were to actually get that kind of sleep. …
Last week’s blueberry muffins disappeared rapidly and the recipe has been our most popular to date (driving tens of visitors per day to our infant website). I decided to whip up another batch for breakfast this week and while pawing through the cupboard, found some chocolate chips left over from my Christmas baking bonanza. Since …
One might ask how we go about looking for new things to cook. Our inspiration comes in all forms. This decision to make this came from one of our website visitors. Not in the traditional sense, though. I am pretty crazy when it comes to looking at stats about our web visitors; one of the …
