Turkey Burgers + Whole Wheat Burger Buns + Avocado Fries

I get pretty proud of myself when I make a good dinner just for me. Normally I end up eating snacks or weirdo foods instead of a real meal when I’m cooking for one. Thank you Dana, for making me crazy about turkey burgers … ever since the tasty ones you made us post paddle boating. Turkey Burgers Recipe from my homegurl Dana Ingredients: 1 lb. ground turkey + some minced onion + some fresh…

Sesame Semolina Lunettas

Sesame seeds are just the bread sprinkles. Semolina is the flour power. Lunetta is the swirly “S” shape. This dough was the prettiest bread dough I’ve ever met! Chances are, if you saw this dough on the street, you would roll down the window and be all daaaaaang gurl at it. I totally would. Oh, and the end result is tasty, just like my friend Alex promised! You see, when I wasn’t sure what kind of…

Rosemary Focaccia Bread

I got pretty frustrated the other day. It happened when my kitchen lights decided to stop working. Next thing you know I was feeling annoyed, overheated and my forehead was crinkled. Two lamps plugged in later, I was back to normal and hung out with some rosemary and got my focaccia on. I took the top photo inside, but the second one outside. Those make-do lamps were making everything look really weird. Kinda like that…

Braided Egg Bread

One cool thing about this bread is that when sliced it looks like a cloud. Another cool thing about this bread is that it’s freckled. The obviously cool thing is that it’s braided. Twice! Double decker braiding action happens. You might think it’s so pretty that you’ll take a picture of it to your hair stylist to duplicate. I wouldn’t blame you a bit. So, see how you braid it? Start in the middle and…

Lemon Drenched Lemon Cakes

I know that I’m not very good at washing dishes. I know that I always want crêpes for dinner. I know that I don’t like construction people making a racket at 7:00am. And I REALLY know that Mondays are better with cake. This cake is zesty and bright. Basically this cake will punch you in the face with dreamy and fresh lemony flavors. You might want to split a piece with your total BFF. You might…

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…

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…

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…
