Cod Chowder with Bacon

This Cod Chowder with Bacon, loaded with Yukon gold potatoes and a bite-sized pieces of cod, will warm you up and fill your tummy on a snowy day. 

I live in the Los Angeles area where snow is really rare, as in almost never. However, we have just had a whole week of rain and temperatures in the 50s (also known as "freezing" around here)! This gave everyone a chance to break out cool rain boots, beanies, and pretty wool scarves, and pile our beds with lots of blankets.

Sweet Potato and Caramelized Onion Bread

This sweet potato bread, loaded with lots of deeply caramelized onions, is super moist and flavorful. 

This bread is from the book Deep Run Roots by Vivian Howard. It is the bread that she uses for her Elbow Lick Sandwich, which includes smoked corn mayo, pickled red onions, and fresh tomato slices. I can't wait to make the sandwich.

What are steel cut oats? 

Steel cut oats are whole oats that are cut into smaller pieces rather than "rolled." They are wonderful for a "stick-to-your-ribs" breakfast that will keep you feeling full for hours. They are also loaded with fiber. The negative is that they take longer to cook than rolled oats, up to an hour.

Lightened Up Green Goddess Dip

This lightened up green goddess dip is loaded with tons of fresh green herbs, including basil, chives, tarragon, and parsley. I love the green color.

This dip is a take on green goddess salad dressing, which was pretty popular in the 1970s (during the hippy crunchy granola days of eating nuts and alfalfa sprouts).

Steamed Piglet Buns | #BreadBakers

These steamed piglet buns, with a barbecue pork filling, are such a cute surprise emerging from your bamboo steamer basket! 

This was my first time making these little steamed piggy buns, but they were easier to make than I expected. I had a little bit of experience making steamed buns and I made the same dough that I used for these steamed buns.
