I’m taking a (short!) break this week from baking — but don’t worry, I’ll be back in the kitchen as soon as you can say… see, I’m already back.
I’m currently obsessing over non-bread related baking items, like homemade apple chips. Yum. SO good with my new-found love, almond butter. Yes please.
But when I get the [...]

Friends!
I forgot to tell you (OK I didn’t forget, I just haven’t gotten around to it. There, I said it. Confession.) — I’m posting recipes on Tablespoon again. So far: Blueberry Muffin Bread, Avocado Quick Bread and today, Mom’s Zucchini Bread (yes you, Ma. Love you!). And there will be more, even yummier recipes on [...]

Yesterday was the husband’s and my very first anniversary. A year ago, on June 26, he and I both said, “I do.” And that’s that.
I have to say, I’m pretty dang lucky to have this guy in my life. He makes me happy every day. And he’s a fun roommate.
But enough on that. Let’s talk [...]

Greetings, dear readers! I would just like to share with you my excitement over the fact that it is not only Friday, but the weekend. And not just any weekend, no no. It’s Memorial Day weekend, those glorious three days of respite in which we the people are able to bask in the summer sun [...]

Holy heck it’s hot outside! What is it with this Iowa weather? First we have a deluge of cold, rainy days, and now it’s like the freaking Amazon. Do. Not. Understand.
The husband and I are in an epic battle with the A/C right now. Our strategy is to stand in front of fans at high [...]

Ah, yes. Another glorious Saturday. The weekend is upon us, dear friends, let’s make the best of it!
And if you have no plans yet, you should plan on making this bread. Because it’s dang good, that’s why. I plan on spending my weekend with my awesome mom who’s visiting, and watching the series finale of [...]

I know, I know, I swore I would never eat Indian food again after my month-long trip there over a year ago. But I must admit, this recipe really warmed me up again to the idea of Indian cuisine (I even had a rice and potato curry dish with it for dinner last night — [...]

Hey friends! Today is the first official day of my posts as a guest blogger on Tablespoon.com. First post — apricot hazelnut bread.
Doesn’t that look tasty? (And it’s darn good for you, too.)
Keep checking in on Girl Versus Dough this month for links to my original recipe posts on Tablespoon.com. Happy baking!

Hello friend!
I must apologize most sincerely for my recent absence on this technological channel of conversation through which we’ve been keeping in touch. But I promise you I haven’t been sitting on my hands these past few days, oh no (except for that one day, when the husband and I watched “Ben Hur” and “Whip [...]

Dear Ina Garten,
If ever you feel the need to invite a big fan of yours to your lovely abode in the Hamptons and fill her up with fine cheeses and wine, I wouldn’t be opposed to accepting your invitation. Just saying.
Sincerely,
Stephanie
P.S. Tell Jeffrey I said hello.
Though I truly love the Midwest and wouldn’t want to [...]

After mourning the loss of my old kitchen and all it’s brightly-lit wonders (and pretty counter tops), I decided to come to terms with my new kitchen, its electric stove/oven and dim, grim non-windowness. (I’ve also taken to making up my own words.) And in order to come to terms with my new kitchen, I [...]

I would just like to note that it’s breads like these that make me wish it was sunny all the time. I understand nighttime is of supreme importance as well, but when I have a bread recipe that spans over a 24-hour period, is it too much to ask for a little sunshine from, oh, [...]

So, after a series of days of movie-watching, article-reading and conversing with the husband, we decided it is in our best ethical interest to go what he says is called “flexitarian.” The term, if you are too lazy to look it up, refers to people who live on a mostly-vegetarian diet but will occasionally consume [...]

If ever there was a tasty bread baked for instant gratification, this is it. I was having one of those “Good Lord I reeeeeeeally don’t even want to lift a finger today” kind of days, but my internal deadline was nagging at me about how “it’s been almost two weeks and [...]

This weekend my grandfather (from my mom’s side) and my grandmother (from my dad’s side) came to visit. For lunch, my grandmother brought two pounds of German deli meat — all some sort of “wurst” — and rye bread for sandwiches, and for dinner made us her household-famous stuffed cabbage, making the house smell so [...]

In case you live in a bubble and/or somewhere warm like Hawaii or Florida or California (and, in which case, of whom I am green with envy), it is snowing. Yes, those tiny white flakes are falling from the sky and landing in a puffy blanket of similar friends who are all congregating in a [...]

It is Thanksgiving. I won’t exhaust you with all the details of for what I am thankful, but I am indeed thankful for a lot of things this year. Including my husband, for whom I am most thankful, in part for his excellent photography (he painstakingly took and edited almost all these pictures for me).
Another [...]

I have a confession to make.
Though I truly, deeply love to bake bread and delight in all its complexities, idiosyncrasies, successes and catastrophes, I must admit it is not my first love. You see, I have an indelible sweet tooth. This is no ordinary sweet tooth — oh, no. I am perplexed when I pick [...]

I’m looking at a palm tree outside the window right now. Palm tree in Illinois, you ask? No, no. I am in Florida visiting my in-laws with Elliott, basking in the Southern sun (perhaps a little too much — my face is rather lobster-ish in color) and taking a respite from the hustle and bustle [...]
