I woke up it to snowing this morning. After a night of not much sleep and several days of stress with a kid with the flu, it was the last thing I wanted to see. So I took some advice and made some homemade bread and soup. Cold weather screams homemade bread to me for …
I have several more recipes to post over the next few days that I hope you find worthy of your Thanksgiving weekend. However, here is a quick round-up of recipes for your feast on Thursday. Meat Citrus and Sage Roasted Turkey Breast (I’m sure this general idea would work for a whole turkey. You would …
I’m posting yet another recipe that requires the oven and another bread recipe. I know. But I’m hoping that as not sweltering pregnant ladies, you will be open to actually turning yours on. And we all love carbs, let’s be real. Obviously, my family really liked this recipe, or I wouldn’t be posting it here. …
Two startling realizations popped into my head last night. First, I don’t remember the last time I purchased a pre-made bread product (sandwich, bagel, bun, etc). This made me feel almost Amish and weird. I used to read blogs about women who made all their own bread and think, “Don’t they have anything better to …

A recent radio show broadcasted that research from the CDC stated that kids in America are eating too much pizza, which is not a healthy food. I was a bit puzzled, so I wanted to get a little more information on the actual research. The CDC report is actually on sodium intakes in children and …
I have a cookbook of recipes my mom collected over the years, which includes a recipe for “chewy breadsticks”. I was hosting a spaghetti dinner party once, and my mom suggested I make those. I don’t know if I did something wrong, but the end result was definitely chewy, borderline like eating cardboard. They didn’t …
When I was a teenager, I liked to experiment with new recipes in the kitchen. One day, I decided I wanted pretzels, so I made some. While a bit of work, they were very tasty. My mom also loved pretzels, so she would have me make them for her occasionally. These rolls are all the …
I hate buying bread crumbs. Purchasing stale, crumbled bread seems like a waste of money to me. But many of my homemade attempts that required minimal effort produced bad results. I finally have worked out an easy way to make them at home. And it just requires the ends of bread that none of us …
