An easy and delicious sweet and salty snack mix to make for your next party or yourself is always a hit. I’m not a sports fan. Like at all. So it should not be a surprise to anyone that I do not care about the Super Bowl. Not even the commercials. Unfortunately for me, my [...]
Snacks
White Cheddar Pizza Bread
When you think of a pizza bread recipe, my guess is it’s something along the lines of a French bread pizza. This is not that. At all. This is a loaf of yeast-raised bread with pockets of sharp white cheddar, a spicy pizza seasoning, and crunchy edges that taste like the best part of a [...]
Easy Homemade Whole Wheat Sunflower Bread
Homemade whole wheat bread is the perfect way to get started to a healthy new year! Making bread is something that can be intimidating. It’s not quite as simple as making muffins or cookies or something where you just mix and bake. There’s a lot of science involved, and sometimes things out of your control [...]
Curried Browned Butter Toast with Paneer and Pistachio Dukkah
Curried browned butter turns plain old toast into something special. I’m a fan of different types of toast. Avocado toast. Tuna on toast. Even just peanut butter toast makes an appearance on my lunch repertoire some days. Sometimes toast can become more than just toast. In this case, you start with some good hearty bread [...]
Vanilla Coconut Goji Berry Granola
Goji berry granola with vanilla and coconut is perfect for breakfast. I’m a fan of granola. Most store-bought granola, however, is too sweet. Or too expensive. Sometimes it tastes fine but is lacking the ingredients that make it special. If you’ve ever had a bag of chocolate chip granola with like four chocolate chips, you [...]
Smoked Almond Cashew Queso
Smoked cashew queso? Yes, please! It seems like from the moment November hits until the end of the year, I am constantly invited to things. Holiday cocktail parties. Game nights because it’s too cold to do anything outside. And of course, every time there’s a gathering, there are snacks. I’m usually the one to make [...]
Pan Fried Feta Cheese
Crispy pan fried feta cheese makes a unique and easy appetizer that everyone will love. I love cheese. The deli drawer in my fridge probably has six kinds of cheese, maybe more. I like all kinds, and one of my favorite things is cheese and crackers. It’s a standard lunch around here. But while I [...]
Homemade Parmesan Cheese Crisps
If you’re looking for a super easy, tasty snack, these homemade Parmesan cheese crisps are it. If you’ve never had Parmesan crisps, you’re missing out. They’re popular right now, and for good reason. Crunchy, nutty, cheese that is like a chip, but low in carbs. They’re delicious in salads, as toppings for soup, or as crunchy [...]
Cheddar Parmesan Sourdough Boule
Cheddar Parmesan sourdough anyone? Homemade bread can be intimidating. It doesn’t have to be of course. There are super easy loaves that you can make with little equipment. Then there is sourdough. Making a sourdough starter is a labor of love, for sure. It requires patience, commitment, and lots and lots of flour. I have [...]
Double Garlic Bread
I love making garlic bread in the oven. Sometimes, I make a quick and easy version. But sometimes, a meal calls for something a little…extra. Extra garlic, extra prep, and extra deliciousness. This is the bread for that meal. It starts with making some garlic confit. This may sound scary — it’s actually pretty simple. [...]
