Literally.

scones, scones, and more scones!

Yum

If you think American scones are good, you are in for a treat when you discover Irish scones*!


*Disclaimer: The scones in this post should in no way be considered Irish scones or even a poor excuse for Irish scones.

i ain't afraid of no yeast

Yum

I think I'm ready to say that yeast doesn't intimidate me anymore. That may not seem like a bold proclamation to you, but trust me, it is.

loaf at first sight

Yum

I knew just as soon as I saw that first loaf of pull-apart bread on an undoubtedly terrific blog that it was something I wanted to stuff into my face make and eat in a ladylike manner.

milking it

Yum

We were all set to have a nice dinner at the local and recently country-renowned restaurant Kindred when Mother Nature stepped in and unloaded a heap of ice and snow.

good, better, best

Yum

Loyal and longtime readers will know that I sometimes get on a kick and become determined to try new recipes or dishes until I get as close to perfection as I deem possible.

wonders never cease

Yum

As it turns out, potatoes make for an awesome loaf of bread, and no one is more surprised than I!

we have the fruits.

Yum

I've been on a real banana bread tear lately and obviously can never be convinced that I've achieved banana bread perfection.

it isn't dead, it's just resting

Yum

Chivalry, that is.


I definitely don't want to get into any sort of conversation about feminism (and people who know me might suggest that I usually don't want to get into any sort of conversation at all...), though I might be dancing around the topic a bit in this post. You've been warned.

rotten luck, rotten plants

Yum

My family is full of green-thumbed gardeners, and they all told us* we were nuts to nurture five squash plants for two people. They might've been right, but we'll never know.

the need to knead

Yum

I worked in a bakery for nearly five years. While my role was more focused on cakes and pies, I did get a lot of experience in making bread.

pizza...for breakfast...for dinner

Yum

As I've gotten older and the number of my responsibilities has exploded grown, I've come to appreciate some things at which I used to turn up my nose. High on that list is takeout (or, even better, delivery) pizza.

morning person

Yum

Though it wasn't always the case, I'd definitely firmly label myself as a morning person.

swee' tater

Yum

Though my grandpa* used to call me "Tater" because I could just about eat my weight in plain ol' buttery mashed potatoes, my tastes have changed over the years and a more apt name at this point would be "Swee' Tater" (for many reasons, obviously). (After all, I practically walk around with a halo atop my head.)(That may be an exaggeration.)

free at last

Yum

I'm always proud of my degree in food science, but there are times when that pride is nearly overwhelming. How awesome is it that these people (who probably took the very same courses that I did, maybe even sitting right beside me) are spending their days adapting ingredients to suit consumers with dietary conflicts?


Very awesome!

flat-out delicious (and a great giveaway)

Yum

If you're anything like me, you often find inspiration for suppers at home in menus at restaurants. That was the case here.

pumpkin spice explosion

Yum

There is such an obsession with pumpkin spice right now! Lattes, bread, muffins, donuts, even chewing gum--everywhere you look, there's something pumpkin-spiced.

the ones you know by heart

Yum

Most of us have recipes we've made so many times that we know them backwards and forwards and could probably carry them out blindfolded and with one hand tied behind the back. I have several of those, and this is one I can't believe I haven't shared.

time well spent

Yum

If you have the time and resources, I think it's absolutely worth it to make your own bread. Other things that are worth the time it takes to do them, at least in my eyes, include coupon clipping, washing your dishes in the sink (unless you've had a party or something), and shredding cabbage for pepper slaw.
