Soft Pretzels

Stacey and the girls really love soft pretzels. The giant ones at the fair, little pretzel nuggets, you name it. Like so many other things that I have just always bought from a store I never really thought about trying to make them at home. I assumed it would be some long, multi-step process that took hours. I was wrong. The whole process only takes … Continue reading Soft Pretzels

3 Ingredient Beer Bread

Sometimes you want fresh bread but you just don’t want to wait on all that kneading and rising and then kneading and rising again. Sure, you could just buy a loaf of bread, but where is the fun in that? You could buy one of those canned or frozen quick loaves, but who knows what all is in there. The solution? Quick bread.

Guayaba y Queso Pastelitos (Cuban guava and cheese pastries)

I am by no means fluent in Spanish, but in the years since the story below I have traveled to many places in the Caribbean and southern US and I have learned enough to get by in hotels and restaurants. I like to eat to where the locals eat and that generally means “no Inglés”. I’m sure they chuckle at my pronunciations and grammar, but … Continue reading Guayaba y Queso Pastelitos (Cuban guava and cheese pastries)

Lunch Lady Dinner Rolls

I found this recipe on Pinterest and made the rolls for Thanksgiving dinner this year.  They were a huge hit!  As a rule I don’t just re-post other people’s recipes, but these were so good I had to share. The original recipe can be found at http://veryhom.com/lunch-lady-cafeteria-rolls-step-step/ Her recipe states that it makes 4 Dozen rolls.  I must have made mine a little larger because … Continue reading Lunch Lady Dinner Rolls

My Take on Amish Bread

This bread is great all by itself, or for making sandwiches.  If any survives for more than a couple of days it makes great cream cheese stuffed strawberry french toast (that recipe is for another day). This is my personal blog and I received no compensation from any brands mentioned on this post.  Updated 11/23/18 – This was one of my first blog posts and … Continue reading My Take on Amish Bread
