Light Brioche Burger Buns

So what if I napped while these were on the rise. So what if when they were done, I drizzled one with honey and ate it as my fake dinner. So what? So what if I can’t wait to make mini these for mini burgers; mini burgers are the cupcake of burgers, really. Basically these are the dreamiest burger buns ever. You should probably make them right now and make burgers for dinner. Despite my…

Whole Wheat Pita Bread

Pita bread is a good reason to have an oven light. It goes from sad dough rounds to bubbling miracles in just 2 minutes! I might’ve topped one of these pitas like a pizza and placed it in the broiler for about 5 minutes and ate it for dinner. I just love pizza. Did you know that? Whole Wheat Pita Bread Adapted from Annies Eats + Confections of a Foodie Bride + originally from Gourmet ’03…

Cheddar Bread

This weekend was full of tough choices. Which cupcake should I have: strawberry cheesecake or bumpy cake? Which kind of coffee should I buy? Should I try to curl my hair? Hefeweizen or Custom Blonde? Should I have cheese on my bread or in my bread? Ok. I tried both cupcakes. I got some local coffee roasted and stuff in a place Jake vacationed once. I tried to curl my hair. I felt fancy like…

Creamy Potato Leek Soup

It’s the time of year where I start really wanting to go to the farmers’ market again. I need to remember this soup the next time I buy way too many vegetables to eat. I might’ve used the dark green parts of the leek in this soup too even though the ingredients clearly say only the white and light green parts. Oh well. I don’t always pay attention. But it turned out good! … and…

Pinwheel Bread

I love Tegan and Sara. I love that I can tell which one’s Tegan and which one’s Sara, now. (Sara’s the teenier one, duh.) I love that I have too many sprinkles to fit in my cupboard. I love that spring is happening so I can walk Elliot in the morning. And I love the swirl that happens when you slice this bread. I love that this recipe makes three loaves of bread. Even though it meant…

Denver Biscuits

I’m a bready. I love all things bread. Jake always tells me to just take the last piece when we are out to dinner because he knows I want it. Probably because I’m gazing at it or something. So of course I fell head over heels for these Denver Biscuits. I had one with dinner and one after with honey on it. I might’ve just finished eating one for breakfast, and am currently debating eating…

Mini Baguettes

I like Saturdays to be my bread baking day. I try to put off lunch until bread comes out of the oven. Then I simply slice the warm bread (too soon) and butter one slice and spoon strawberry jam on the other … and there you go. Lunch. Carb-style. Get carby with it, already. I made these mini baguettes with a sandwich in mind. A hip sandwich that would like nothing more than making my…

Mushroom Veloute topped with Buttermilk Blinis

I’m getting excited about spring. I want to be surrounded by warm green instead of cold white; I want fresh vegetables and spices in my life and in my soup. I had my friend Katie over for dinner this weekend and I was excited to give this recipe a try… Mainly because last week I discovered that “blinis” exist. And who wouldn’t want a mini savory pancake? This soup and pancake combo is pretty, luxurious…

Spinach and Cheese Muffins

Please Note: I’ve made these again! Click HERE for the new post. I always want to put an “e” at the end of spinach. I don’t know why. I’ve never made savory muffins before. I don’t know why. But I do know why I love these guys. Spinach + cheese = win win. I made these to go with delicious Broccoli + Arugula Soup,  that Joy the Baker posted a couple days ago. They were both delicious and went…
