  • 40 loaves / pita bread

    Bread no. 9 : pita bread Adjustments : I cut the recipe in half. Notes : Paul has been on a hummus making kick and we needed something for dipping. Turns out baking pita is practically easier than buying it. Review : good with hummus and good with peanut butter and seriously so easy. I…

  • 40 loaves / beer bread.

    Bread no. 8 : beer bread Adjustments : I substituted 1/2 C of white flour with wheat. Always looking to get more wheat. Notes : DUDE. I have never had beer bread before and stumbled on a recipe for some on Pinterest. Wanting to find a few more recipes I searched for "beer bread" within…

  • 40 loaves / focaccia bread

    Bread no. 7 : focaccia bread Adjustments : I cut the recipe in half and substituted 1/4 C of white flour with wheat. I also cut the olive oil down a bit. Notes : We’ve made this before and were happy to revisit it. The plan was to save some for pesto chicken sandwiches, but…

  • the one with the raw fish dish.

    We are coming up on our one year anniversary. Which obviously coincides with the one year anniversary of our honeymoon. Which coincides with the one year mark of when we first tried Poisson Cru. The image above is our first dish of it while in Bora Bora. We've been trying to think of a good…

  • our favorite mexican restaurant in san diego.

    This is the sign that greets you at our favorite Mexican food place. That right there should be enough to convince you of it's awesomeness. Okay, well did the food photos get you? This restaurant is close-ish to our place, but we never knew about it until our car was in the shop and Hertz…

  • 40 loaves / soft pretzels.

    Bread no. 6 : soft pretzels from Peter Reinhart's Artisan Breads Every Day Adjustments : I substituted about half the flour for wheat flour and instead of letting the dough rise over night in the fridge, I kept it at room temperature for about three hours. Notes : too much salt! I think I got…

  • 40 loaves / whole wheat biscuits.

    Bread no. 5 : whole wheat biscuits from allrecipes.com. Adjustments : nada. I followed the recipe exactly & cut the dough into circles with an upside down water glass. Notes : This was my first run at biscuits that didn't pop out of a can. Easy! Review :  These were AWESOME the first day and…

  • 40 loaves / chocolate bread.

    Bread no. 4 : Chocolate Cinnamon Babka from Peter Reinhart's Artisan Breads Every Day. Adjustments : We were almost out of white flour so this was made with pretty much all wheat flour. I substituted half of the sugar with Splenda. And I melted the chocolate chips on the stove because I didn't want to…

  • 40 loaves / garlic rolls.

    Bread no. 3 : garlic rolls, adapted from this recipe. Adjustments : Two cups of white flour and about two cups of wheat instead of just white. Substituted splenda for the 1/3 C white sugar (but used regular sugar for the first water & yeast mixture). Used garlic salt instead of regular salt for the…

  • 40 loaves / cheese bread.

    Bread no. 2 : soft cheese bread from Peter Reinhart's Artisan Breads Every Day. Adjustments : I know it's useless to share my adjustments without sharing the recipe but if you google, you'll find it. I cut it in half to make just one loaf. Then substituted wheat flour for half of the flour and…
