Whole Grain Spelt Rolls

These whole grain spelt rolls with freshly milled spelt and sourdough starter are incredibly flavorful. 

Of course they are wonderful warm from the oven with butter, but my favorite way to have them is to slice them in half, toast them, and top them with a fried egg and bacon.

Margarita Sour Cream Muffins

These Margarita Sour Cream Muffins are light and fluffy....  and flavored with tequila!

Sometimes, cocktails are appropriate. At cocktail hour for example. They may not exactly work for breakfast. That's why you need Margarita Muffins! Do they contain tequila you ask?

Sweet and Salty Popcorn Cookies

These sweet and salty popcorn cookies are so satisfyingly tasty. You get crunch, you get sweet, you get saltiness, and you get chocolate, all in the guise of a little mini popcorn ball of a cookie. 

The best part of these cookies is that you can have five or six of them, as opposed to one or two "regular" cookies. They are pretty much all air, right? That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Another advantage to making these cookies is that you don't have to fire up your oven! The only cooking involved is making browned butter and melting the marshmallows that hold the goodness together.

Crispy Tilapia with Ginger-Scallion Sauce

Let me warn you, this Crispy Tilapia with Ginger-Scallion Sauce is not necessarily pretty. It might actually creep you out. Look away if if you are squeamish. 

However, it is completely freaking amazing!

This month, the theme for the Fish Fridays Foodies group is Fried Fish. It was chosen by April of Angel's Home Sweet Homestead. We could do deep or pan fried. I have a delicious and elegant pan fried halibut filet recipe with zucchini that I've never posted.. buuuuut.... I tend to be distracted by shiny things....

Bran Bread with Dates and Toasted Walnuts

This month, the Bread Baking Babes are making Bran Bread. The original recipe comes from the book Pane e Roba Dolce from the Italian sisters Margherita and Valeria Simili, and was chosen by Lien of Notitie van Lien.

Stir-Fried Eggs with Velvet Shrimp | Wok Wednesdays

These stir-fried eggs with velvet shrimp made the best "brinner" ever.

This dish is not just scrambled eggs with some shrimp thrown in. Nooooo. there are seven other ingredients and a screaming hot wok involved. And "velveting!"

Semolina Bread with Apricots and Sage

This semolina bread with apricots and sage is a wonderful combination of sweet and savory. The apricots add a sweetness and the aroma of sage totally reminds me of Thanksgiving. It's a wonderful bread for breakfast with butter and honey, or even some melted cheddar. It's also amazing with soup.

Tex-Mex Chicken Soup

This Tex-Mex Chicken Soup is one of the tastiest soups I've made to date, if I do say so myself. It's loaded with chicken, veggies, and just the right amount of spiciness to make any fan of Tex-Mex flavors happy.

Wild Yeast San Francisco Style Sourdough Bread

I am pretty happy with this Wild Yeast San Francisco Style Sourdough Bread. The bread has an amazing sourdough "tang," and has a lovely airy and gelatinized crumb. Plus, my sourdough starter did all of the work.
