My family loves bananas. The unfortunate thing with bananas, is that no matter how fast we eat them, we always end up with a couple overripe ones. Luckily, we love banana bread. So much so, that we make it about once a week. We have a go to recipe, but it did not have the…

While in the Midwest visiting family, Dana and I were introduced to beer bread. The bread comes in a mix and all you have to do is add beer. It was great, but the mix costs an arm and a leg. Highway robbery if you ask me. So I decided to try to make my…
Dana and I love Entenmann’s Cheese Strip Danish. So I decided to try to recreate it. Well I was partially there, but it was a fail. I failed to let the danish proof so the final product was a little dense. Further, I am pretty sure that the instant yeast that I purchased did not activate….

I love stove top stuffing. There is something about the easy directions and great flavor that keeps me going back for more. I love it! However, when you have a food blog, everyone wants you to make everything from scratch. Who knew that it was a faux pas to serve boxed stuffing to your friends…

I purchased a bunch of bananas last week. That was before I realized how long I was going to be gone for Memphis. I ended up being in Memphis for 5+ days. So when I came back, I had a bunch of extremely ripe bananas. So I decided to make some banana bread. I love…
I am always looking for a new way to spice up a salad. So when I came across this recipe, I knew I had a winner. Grilled tomatoes and bread served over a nice green salad. The smokiness of grilled tomatoes and bread add a unique flavor to this salad.
Earlier this week I made a loaf of No-Knead Bread. It was awesome. The crust was crunchy and delicious. So I decided to try a different type of bread. Whole Wheat. Granted it is not that different but the whole wheat flour made the bread react differently. Granted the loaf looks delicious, it needed a…

Earlier this week Nick over at Macheesmo made english muffins. This reminded me of the english muffin bread that my mom buys from the local Amish Community. The bread is light and airy and toasts beautifully. I wanted to recreate that bread. Here is my shot at it. Unlike most bread dough’s you do not…
