Adventures in cooking and baking.
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.
This molasses cornbread is slightly sweet, dense, and moist. It's so easy to make with simple to find ingredients.
This recipe can be traced to Harlem Rennaissance novelist Zora Neale Hurston who was originally from rural Alabama and later spent time in segregated Florida. This cornbread is credited with encouraging her to learn how to walk when she was a baby so that the hogs could not steal her cornbread in her hand.
This Beef Stew with Noodles is an easy meal to put together and is just right when you need a warm comforting dinner.
You can serve this the day you make it, or make it a day in advance, without the noodles, and serve it the next day.
These sourdough corn dogs are a tasty way to use some of your sourdough discard to make everyone's favorite summer snack.
These sourdough corn dogs are perfect for serving as a quick lunch or dinner. You can also make them as an appetizer for a game day party. Set them out on a platter with some mustard and ketchup and watch them disappear.
These coconut shortbread cookies are made with a combination of coconut flour and either wheat flour or gluten free flour along with butter and sugar.
These are my first attempt at working with coconut flour as a substitute for "regular" flour. I dipped them in chocolate and added sprinkles to celebrate the summer season.
These Canadian butter tarts are an iconic mini dessert made with a pastry shell and filled with a sweet caramel-ish filling that is semi-soft and full of buttery flavor.
These tarts are similar to pecan tassies, which are an old fashioned American dessert often served during the holidays. The difference is, that in the case of the Canadian butter tarts, the filling is often left plain, or with very little add-ins.
This is a lovely little butter cake with a topping of fresh rhubarb and pecan caramel laced with a bit of bourbon.
The cake itself is amazing. I can think of so many things I would like to try out with this batter. Add the rhubarb, bourbon, and pecan mixture and these cakes are over the top amazing.
