Happy first Friday of 2012! I’m still adjusting to the fact that the holidays are over, and the new year has arrived already. Where did the time go? While I’m still trying to figure out where the holidays went, I can say that I’ve had my fill of cookies and sweets. I didn’t make any crazy resolutions about…
January is a time for new beginnings, right? While I could probably stand to eat fewer cookies and work out more, this post isn’t about resolutions to lose weight and eat great. Instead, I’m talking about new beginnings for bread baking this year! In all of the craziness at my place over the summer, I…
Have you finished all of your Christmas shopping yet? I think I may actually be done… I have a gift card or two to pick up at the store next week, but that doesn’t really count, right? It’s a good thing that I have my shopping done, because now I have lots of baking to…
This week, I’m focusing on recipes to help you along with your holiday baking… Baking really is the best part of the holidays, isn’t it? Yesterday I shared a favorite new cookie recipe with you. Today, I thought we’d talk about another sweet treat as a part of my baking series with Red Star Yeast……
Most of the time I know whether or not I am going to write about a recipe before I ever start cooking or baking. In my kitchen, there are “blog recipes” that I have given a lot of thought and consideration (and taken time to photograph!) and then there are the dishes that I whip…

This has been one of the first weeks in quite a while that my hubby and I didn’t have something on the schedule every single night of the week. And, it’s been great. Because I’ve had some down time in the evenings, I’ve also been spending more time in the kitchen during the day. That’s…
Baking season is here! I can think of very few better ways to spend a chilly fall afternoon than baking homemade bread. It warms up the kitchen and fills the house with a wonderful aroma. Plus, your family will thank you when they sit down to dinner with warm, freshly baked bread on the table! You…
I hope you’ve enjoyed my series on the basics of baking homemade bread! Over the past few weeks, I’ve covered the necessary equipment, the basics of yeast, and tips on mixing up bread dough without a big mess. So, now it’s time to get baking! I had planned to share a new, basic bread recipe…
To me, warm bread pudding is the ultimate comfort food… Especially if its rich and gooey chocolate bread pudding! I’m one of those people who can be kind of picky about food textures. I’m not a fan of oatmeal, and I always gobble my cereal as quickly as possible (when I eat it at all)…
