chocolate peanut butter swirl bread

February 13, 2011

I’m not a huge proponent of Valentine’s Day. It’s never been one of my favorite holidays. I’m not going to rattle off a spiel on how bitter I am about how our culture fuels an irrational need for us to spend millions of dollars each year on a single day to prove our love to [...]

loaded baked potato bread

February 6, 2011

Lately, I’ve been a bit frustrated with baking bread.

sifted words — tablespoon recap

January 31, 2011

Greetings, dear friends —
I apologize for a delay in recipe posting. I’ve been in a coma for a few days after eating my weight in bourbon bacon pancakes. You understand.

Because I love pizza so dang much, I thought I’d make pizza dough (a new, equally tasty version of my standby) for my inaugural post for my new layout. There are still a [...]

Sifted Words — Let them eat bread

January 3, 2011

Ah, the new year. A time for celebration with friends, a time of remembrance of things past and a time to look forward to what the future holds. A time to make resolutions and promises and (hopefully!) not break them.
Normally, I’m not one to follow the trend of making New Year’s resolutions. This is mostly [...]
