This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Red Star Yeast. As always, all opinions expressed are my own. I love molasses… Especially dark molasses. Given the choice between light and dark brown sugar (which is really just white sugar flavored with molasses), I will always take the dark brown sugar. And, when…
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Red Star Yeast. As always, all opnions expressed are my own. I always enjoy getting emails from readers who have tried the recipes I feature here or who have questions about how to prepare a paritcular dish. I started sharing my recipes here over four…
Valentine’s Day will likely be a bit different at my house this year. You see, I haven’t gotten brave enough to leave the little girl with a babysitter yet. I’m working up to it gradually, but I’m just not ready. I’m sure she’d do just fine, but I’m not sure I would do nearly as well. So,…
For this Kitchen Bootcamp challenge, I asked everyone to spend some time in the kitchen getting familiar with yeast breads… Many of you know that I love to bake, and baking with yeast is pretty high up there on my list. While a new baby has kept me from doing as much baking for this challenge as I…
Time for a new Kitchen Bootcamp challenge! Since I will be otherwise occupied towards the end of September and the beginning of October, I have opted to do an extended challenge this time around… But, I think it’s a good one! With the arrival of fall comes the arrival of baking season. In the heat…
I need a bit of a favor. Next spring when I tell you that I am planning my garden and bought zucchini seeds, remind me to go back and read this post. For some reason, when I was planting the garden a few months ago, it seemed like a good idea to put in three…
It’s that time of year again… Kids are headed back to school, fall scented candles are on sale at Target, and my garden is still bursting with zucchini. Fall is around the corner, but it’s not quite hear yet. While I am welcoming fall (especially the cooler weather!) with open arms this year, I know…
I love to bake… I do. But, I’ve noticed over the years that what I enjoy more than simply baking is baking for others. I rarely make a batch of cupcakes or a loaf of bread for myself. While I certainly shouldn’t eat an entire batch of cupcakes on my own, I also find that…
I get a lot of questions about the various kitchen tools and appliances that I use… And, I find that that my posts on baking with yeast seem to draw the most questions. It seems to me that a lot of people would love to start baking, especially with yeast, but aren’t ready to commit to a large purchase,…
While I usually just stick to recipes and kitchen tips, I do throw in a few personal stories and anecdotes from time to time. And, today happens to be one of those times where I have some personal news to share. We’ve got a bun in the oven! And, I’m not just referring to the…
