One of our family's absolute favorites! I've been making bread for a long time, and I would venture a guess that I have tried at least 100 recipes. I've probably thrown together at least that many with no recipe at all. When the girls were little, I often made different kinds of bread every week - so you know they had the chance to try a lot of different flavors. But, when I gave them the choice of what kind I should make, which bread did they always ask for? Cottage Cheese Dill ... Read More about Cottage Cheese Dill Bread

Pumpkin Beer Bread
One of the nice things about doing a local Farmer's market this past summer, was getting to know the other growers, entrepreneurs, and makers in our area. They are, without exception, people who work hard, and take a lot of pride in the products that they produce. We are, as you know if you read here very often, big believers in sourcing food as locally as possible, whenever possible. You get the freshest and probably healthiest food that way. And beverages that are sourced locally can be pretty ... Read More about Pumpkin Beer Bread
Stand Mixer Italian Bread
I have to be honest and tell you that I would love a do-over for this year so far. It's been a difficult one, to say the least. I'll get into some of it in posts to come probably.

Pumpkin Raisin Yeast Bread
It is getting to be that time of year. You know - when there is pumpkin everything, everywhere you look!

But, pumpkin everything else, I am very much okay with. Like this Pumpkin Raisin Yeast Bread! Our own pumpkins did well this year - we have quite a nice number of lovely little pie pumpkins to use this fall. This ... Read More about Pumpkin Raisin Yeast Bread

A Super-easy, No Knead Yeast Bread So, yeast bread, right? Hard. Messy. Chancy. No. Okay - some yeast breads are those things. Like Brioche maybe.

Anadama Bread – Step by Step, Making Yeast Bread
When Larry and I first got married, his sister in law was always making this fantastic bread that I had never heard of before. I grew up in a family with a couple generations of breads makers before me - both my Mom and her Mom baked their own bread for long stretches of time, so making yeast breads was never an intimidating idea to me. But this bread was better than anything I had ever had before, and I was so glad when my new sister in law gave me the recipe. I have never changed one single ...
