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.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Red Star Yeast. As always, all opinions expressed are my own. Lately, I find myself drawn to bread recipes that require no kneading. It’s not that I’m opposed to kneading, not at all. But, it always seems to work out that I am elbow…

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,…

Since I chose yeast breads for the current Kitchen Bootcamp challenge, I thought it was only appropriate that I try a few new bread recipes in my own kitchen. I decided to start with the sandwich bead recipe from The New Best Recipe. I had good intentions of simply following the recipe, but 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 haven’t been getting a lot of baking done in the last few weeks… The hot weather itself is enough to keep me from wanting to heat up the kitchen. And, life at my house has been rather interesting, as well. Between the joys of being close to the end of my pregnancy, our doggy…
