Adventures in cooking and baking.
Pretzel bagels - The flavor of pretzels in bagel form. These bagels have the flavor of soft pretzels on the outside and they are slightly softer than standard bagels on the inside.
These bagels are tender and soft fresh from the oven with a thin crispy crust. Unlike standard bagels, they are made with all purpose flour rather than bread flour and the dough includes some butter.
This rhubarb and strawberry baked oatmeal is a wonderful and nutrious breakfast. You can assemble and bake it in a little more than an hour, or you can assemble it in advance and bake it the next morning.
The combination of rhubarb and srrawberries is classic, and the added almonds add a tasty crunch.
Taiwanese Castella Cake is a super soft sponge cake that is wonderfully plush and bouncy. It's lightly sweet and delicious on its own or garnished with whipped cream, fruit, confectioners' sugar, honey, or all of the above.
I garnished slices of these cakes with whipped cream and sliced fruit, and it was a huge hit.

These spoon rolls are an easy-to-make dinner roll. They are soft and fluffy on the inside with a thin crispy crust. They are absolutely delicious served hot from the oven with butter.
The flavor is yeasty and reminds me, when buttered, of a fresh and airy crumpet or English muffin, yet even softer in texture.
This Macaroni and Cheese is loaded with gruyére and emmentaler cheese. It is totally decadent. Add cubed ham and some crispy sourdough cubes, and you have a delicious comforting dinner.
This macaroni and cheese includes two of my favorite cheeses, Gruyére and Emmentaler. Gruyére is an amazing cheese that is hard and flavorful, yet it melts so well. It's my favorite for using in quiches, gratins, and breads. It blends well with Emmentaler, often for fondue.
