Baking and cooking are a lot of fun. Here’s what I’ve been cooking up lately.
These days, I’m trying hard to slim down and be healthy. It isn’t easy, though, when I have a sweet tooth and like to bake bread on a regular basis.
Recently in my weight loss journey, I’ve discovered that smoothies are a great way to get more fiber and protein in my diet. Just dump everything in the blender and soon I have a tasty treat that keeps me full for a few hours.
Tasty lemon flavor? Check. A little bit of frosting for extra sweetness? Check? Tastes like summer and you can make in an hour? Check and check. My sourdough discard poppy seed lemon quick bread...
Sometimes I just want to eat healthy. Sometimes I want to stuff my face with carbs. My peanut butter pancakes strike a nice balance between nice and naughty.
I've been having lots of fun this summer. Despite being busy, I still managed to make this delicious honey almond bread. It's not perfect, but it is yummy.
We love our pellet smoker, and summer is the perfect time to try new Traeger recipes. We recently made a pepperoni pizza, and we love the results.
Summer temperatures can make bread baking a pain in the neck. I put together a few pointers for getting better loaves when your kitchen gets too warm for comfort.
Want to make something other than bread with your sourdough discard? I love making mini doughnuts.
I'm back from my most recent hiatus to bring you my latest bread recipe. Check out my wheat and rye artisan style sourdough bread. It's so tasty and flavorful and fun to make.
Whenever I feel like eating cheap and healthy, I make this cozy slow-cooker potato soup. Just dump all the ingredients into the pot and let the magic happen.
When I want to use up my sourdough discard fast, I dump a lot of it into my cinnamon quick bread. It's fast, it's easy, and it's delicious. I love having a slice or two with breakfast.
