I’m giddy to be able to say “last year” and put all of 2013 in the past. It was a rough year and being able to officially put it in the past makes me much happier. During 2013 I don’t think I really accomplished much other than making copious amounts of caramel corn, drank way… Read more

Simple Bread Pudding
I’m not normally the type of person to really enjoy eating puddings or a custard. Yogurt is even a stretch for me sometimes. Mouth texture is a huge thing for me with eating, crunchy I can do but soft and custard-ish or gooey really doesn’t do it for me. So why in the world is… Read more
Bread Slicing
I love making bread at home, but I do have one issue with that. My skills with a bread knife and cutting in a straight line leave much to be desired. Its also probably why I can’t cut fabric in a straight line either. I think I have a genetic disposition to having a crooked… Read more
Cinnamon Rolls
I shock my husband. I really do. Especially when I suddenly bust out things like home made cinnamon rolls randomly. He’s slowly getting used to the fact that I’ve started learning how to cook. He still won’t take bites of things when I walk up to him with a spoon and say “eat this”. That… Read more
Perfectly Sweet White Bread
I’ve been trying to perfect bread for a while. Or at least try and find that one perfect loaf that I can master easily, and make modifications to suit my purposes. I do believe I have found it. This bread is sweet, lovely, mouth watering, and super soft. Its the bread I make at home… Read more
First Ever Home Made Pizza!
For the longest time I’ve been wanting to make home made pizza. I’m not talking about grabbing a premade/shaped crust, and adding toppings (pizza dough in a can doesn’t count either). I’m referencing one of those times where you make the dough yourself, everything is made start to finish (well except cheese, I don’t know… Read more
Disasters
I think everyone will have at least one disaster while learning how to cook. At LEAST one. I think I’ve made hundreds, but that’s a whole other story. This whole cooking thing has been a journey for me, from not knowing that some foods like marshmallows could actually be made by hand, to actually making… Read more
Naan
Naan, the delightful flatbread. I was first introduced to Indian curry from a friend in college. She loved this stuff and was absolutely convinced that it would cure the common cold. She was a little…unique. But in a good way. My favorite is tikka masala, but I just can’t find a place that makes something… Read more
Baked Donuts
Just like Homer Simpson, I love donuts. However, I don’t really eat them very often because they are really greasy and sugary. I’ve been toying with the idea of baking donuts, I even picked up one of those donut pans from the local thrift store but just haven’t tried it yet. Now that I am… Read more
