I love to cook. Ask anyone—that's what they'll tell you. I thought I'd take the opportunity to share new recipes as I test them, plus I'll list some favorites. Also, I intend to include miscellaneous writings, mostly for my own amusement.

Okay, this is my last bread post for a while (I promise, Amy!!!) and then I'm going to focus on low carb dishes. The leftover French bread loaf just got chopped up, baked, and turned into croutons. All the bread is gone now, I think. Gonna have to be (read full article)
I consider this a masterpiece. And I'm not sure which photo has more visual impact...I think this one has nice primary color effect, but the impression of size is lost here, whereas sitting in my hand, it just looks so cute and tasty you wanna pop it (read full article)

Original recipe from Betty Crocker's Best Bread Machine Cookbook. This bread had a really fine texture to it, mostly because of the buttermilk, I think. Very, very good bread. Old World Rye Bread1 pkt. quick active dry yeast 2/3 c. warm water 2 T. c (read full article)
This is a fun item for a party. Rather than doing the round loaf of bread with spinach dip like everyone else does, you know I had to come up with something creative. This is easy and versatile. Create your own new concept! Christmas Tree Bread Bow (read full article)

This is another one of my spur-of-the-moment innovations. I used the same crust as in the "Savory Meat Strudel" and stuffed it with some of my favorite breakfast ingredients (eggs, cheese, and lobster). It turned out very yummy, especially with a das (read full article)
This was fantastic! I threw it together using a sweet bread dough that was new to me (i.e. untested) and the friends who were over LOVED it. Claire aptly named it "Breakfast In Bread" because it sort of had a sausage-biscuit taste. Cheesy Crumbled (read full article)
