Sometimes I have the worst ideas. For example, every time I smell pizza, and love it, I have the fleeting thought: “I wish I had a pizza-scented candle.” I think we all know that’d be gross, and it’d result in constant stomach rumbling. Double trouble. However finagling foccacia bread into a layer-cake that can be lunch, is not a bad idea. Not that I have any problem with cake for lunch. So let’s eat cake that’s…
Sometimes I feel like Steve Urkel. Sometimes when I grab the sink-sprayer (…is that the technical term?) I spray water all over myself and the kitchen. And when I was making this bread I dropped the bag of rye flour open-side down on the kitchen floor and spilled a hefty amount. And when I grabbed a tea towel to let the dough rise under it, an entire stack of towels landed on my head. I…
This pull-apart bread is a really good idea. It’s like the sister to cinnamon rolls and monkey bread and those two are my favorite. I made it into two mini loaves. Mini things make pretty fun gifts. Now I just need polka dotted plastic wrap in my life. It’d be the best packaging for this sort of dude. This really is best right out of the oven, but I wouldn’t turn it down if it…
Orange rolls are super models. They wear orange like it ain’t no thing. They’re so casual about it. Unlike me. You see, orange clashes majorly with my hair. And not in the London Calling or I’m So Bored in the U.S.A. way. Instead of wearing orange, I eat oranges. Instead of being can orange-head, I’m a redhead. These were better than I imagined, just the thing I was craving, and darn stylish. The truth is,…
Do you guys know about Gary? Gary is the snail with a broken-ish shell that I found in the alley, a year or so ago. Jake insisted on saving him and giving him a home in a christmas gladware container. Gary ate baby spinach, drank water, and travelled around that gladware. P.S. The picture below features Pink Himalayan Sea Salt. It’s the valentine of salt. When the weather warmed up Jake set him free in…
The fellows from Baked warned me in Baked Explorations about how good this bread is and how it’s easy to eat a lot of it. So, I’ve been waiting to make monkey bread for when a group of people would be over. Our annual Valentine’s brunch party was the perfect occasion! I decided to make minis because I’ve noticed that when people come over they don’t want to work for their food. They don’t want…
Rumor has it, this bread was named after a sassy husband and his wife Anna. The husband was sick of corn meal mush in his life. He said, “Damn it, Anna, I’m just really sick of corn meal mush, and now you’re putting it in bread?! I’m over it, bia.” So now you have it. Unlike that sassy husband, I love corn meal everything. If it was up to me I’d call this bread Thanksanna…
I have dinner plans with these guys. I’d even call it a date. Rumor has it these are good at holding beef. At least that’s what Betty from Colorado says on the Taste of Home website. Betty just wanted a delicious and convenient way to hold her beef and here it is. You may be yelling at your computer screen right now. You’re probably saying something like. “Megan! Those hoagie buns are supposed to be…
Putting a sandwich on these guys is like having a sandwich on a corn muffin. Honestly, I can’t imagine anything better. I’m excited to make these the next time Jake makes pulled pork … ribs or briskit. Basically, these would accompany BBQ-ed goodness in a dreamy way. But for now peanut butter and strawberry jam will do. Oh yeah! It’s September! So I guess instead of BBQ-ing we should be thinking about beef stew and…
I’ve been napping after work. …And there is a moment after I wake up that I have to decide to get up and do something or I’ll end up napping and doing nothing until it’s too late to do anything. Last night I woke up and made myself get up and be productive by making this English Muffin Bread! This bread isn’t the kind you have to set aside a whole Saturday for all the…
