The Bread and Breakfast
Just a foodie, making her way through her baking bucket lists!
If you’ve been reading for a little while now, you’ll remember that I went on one hell of a road trip last summer. I saw amazing sights, visited some of my favorite people, and maybe got a speeding ticket. Oh, and I drove a crap ton of miles. Luckily for me, the amount of eating …
Can I tell you about one of my favorite movies? (That was rhetorical…of course I can!) Inception. First, and foremost, Leonardo Dicaprio. Enough said. Beyond Leo and his overall superiority, the concept itself is such a cool one! A dream, inside of a dream! It makes a gal think! While watching this flick for the …
This week started with good intentions. I was looking through my recent entries thinking, “Hmm, what haven’t I written about recently? I’ve got to keep it new! Keep it fresh! Give the people what they want!” As I perused my recipe index, with this in mind, I noticed a certain kind of baked goodie that …
Guys, I have to admit something. I’m on a bit of a roll. A roll that I’m actually kind of surprised at, and…proud of. What kind of roll you ask? A non-chocolate roll! (Although, when it comes to rolls, is one without chocolate really worth eating?) For the past month or so, I’ve been trying …
Guys, let me tell you. If there was one thing I hated when I was a kid, it was carrot cake. Not brussels sprouts, not broccoli, not green beans. Carrot cake. Unfortunately for me, I was literally the only person in my entire family who felt this way. If you were to talk to my …
Friends, it’s time we head back to the lab. In the past, we’ve done cookie experiments, international Kit Kat experiments, muffin experiments, macaroon experiments, puff pastry experiments…you name it. Well, today, you’ll need to break out your notepads, pencils, and goggles for yet another test. This time, we’re testing one of my favorite things…in the …
Hey…ya’ll! Did I ever tell you that I could really see myself living in the South? Cold, dreary winters? None of that. People who smile and say “hello”, for no reason? Everywhere. People who call you “ma’am”, just to be respectful? All around. And, the likelihood of finding a house with a nice wrap-around porch, …
I know, I know. You’re rolling your eyes at me today. Like every other weekend, as you feverishly typed in this site address, which you clearly do on regular basis, you were excited to see something new. Something original. Something I haven’t been doing at least monthly for awhile now. Well, my friends, this week is …
I don’t know about you, but for me, one of the most perplexing candies of my childhood was the chocolate orange. The first time I unwrapped one, I was positive that I would be biting into a juicy piece of fruit, coated in chocolate. My poor two front teeth learned the hard way, that this …
Did I ever tell you that The Great British Bake Off is quite legitimately the best show ever? Oh, yes, I did. Here, and here. BUT, if you accidentally forgot to read those posts, the declaration is worth repeating. It’s wonderful. You have Paul Hollywood, buff baking pro: intimidating, silver-fox impersonating, and all around tough …
