Bread no. 36 : whole wheat hamburger buns. Adjustments : I cut some sugar – used a bit less than 1/4 C. Notes : we had this dream of making the perfect hamburger last night. Sunday we picked up grass-fed ground beef at our farmer's market and cooked it on the grill. (This grill is…

I raced up north yesterday to help my mom start the holiday baking. We made fudge, peanut butter cookies, chex mix and pecan cookies. Tonight we are going to make chocolate covered pretzels, sugar cookies and our family favorite that I've shared many times before, peppermint cookies. I should also be sure to get some…

I mentioned awhile back that I had read Secrets to a Healthy Metabolism (on the recommendation of Cathy Zielske) and it had influenced my diet quite a bit. It has been on my list to write a post about it, especially after sharing so much of my food choices during Week in the Life. To…

Bread no. 18: cinnamon pull apart bread Adjustments : I had to use a lot more flour than what was recommended to keep my dough from becoming a sticky mess. I also substituted about a cup of wheat flour for white flour. And even though it was encouraged to use a cup of sugar for…

Everything I know about wine I learned from Paul. Which is why when I got a request to share our favorite inexpensive bottles I immediately emailed him. He probably just rattled these off the top of his head. The guy has a crazy ability to memorize medical facts and wine labels. Which is exactly what…
