So, I don’t have “baker’s block,” but I definitely have “writer’s block.” In fact, I’m baking up a storm these days – which is somewhat odd for summer. But, with all these delicious goodies coming out my ears (or my kitchen) I have not yet found the inspiration to write. Thus, recipes only for now:…

I’ve had this bread on my mind for quite some time now. I think, ever since I fell in love the double decadence of parmesan cheese crusted with spicy black pepper.

Yes, I’ve been baking bread AGAIN. I just can’t stop. It’s just like pie and cake – I simply adore it. I love the process…the waiting…the meditation…the aroma…and of course, the taste. My very favorite part of baking bread, though, is the gifting of the treasure to those near and dear to my heart. This…

There’s something about the idea of a grilled cheese sandwich that will always make my mouth water. It’s good old comfort food. But sometimes, you need to jazz it up a bit, other than adding a side of tomato soup for dunking. This time, the fancy features come in the way of BBQ chicken and…

The time has come to bake some fresh artisanal bread again. It seems as though that “time” could occur on a daily basis, but it’s been just a few weeks in our household. I knew I wanted to bake a loaf of bread, spotted and scented with poppyseed. But this time I didn’t want to…
