white pizza with roasted garlic coconut cream and sun dried tomatoes

i love pizza in all it’s forms.  sure it’s traditionally topped with red sauce and gooey strands of cheezy goodness, but also layered with pesto instead, or no sauce at all.  with this recipe i had the idea that rather than worrying about not only making a sauce but also a cheese substitute, i could [...]

maple glazed shallot rolls

i’ve been getting really into baking my own bread lately. why buy loaves for sandwiches or buns for burgers at the grocery store when i can just bake them fresh myself!? in the past few weeks this recipe has become a fast favorite of mine – it is a completely whole wheat roll that is [...]

cinnamon swirl bread

i first learned how to make my own bread when i worked in an italian restaurant in portland.  i would make pizza dough fresh every morning so it had plenty of time to rise before we topped it with sauce, cheese, and toppings and popped it in the oven for lunch time. sure it takes [...]

gooey pumpkin cranberry bread

when i think of pumpkin cranberry bread i think of a christmas party i threw 3 years ago – it involved a chirstmas tree, christmas music and a full spread of seasonal treats.  probably one of the most popular items on the menu was pumpkin cranberry bread. 3 years on, i’m going back to that [...]

i didn’t grow up eating corn bread at thanksgiving, but the past few years i’ve tried to make it a habit.  it has a wonderfully hardy taste and texture that pairs nicely with the other (heavy) foods we stuff ourselves with on the holiday.  and as i discovered, just like everything else on the thanksgiving [...]

peanut butter banana bread

with most fruits and vegetables, it’s a sad time when they start to get too brown or soft to eat.  but when that happens to bananas it means i get to make banana bread!

garlic knots

ever since my bout with a chest cold earlier this week i have been majorly craving garlic, and there’s a good reason why. garlic is a natural antibiotic.  after a few days of having whatever bug i caught floating around in my system, my body told my brain that i needed something to kill it [...]

maple coriander rolls

i love making things from scratch, especially you have to put as much physical energy into someone as kneading bread dough, you can really let your energy become part of the food. for just that reasons i have been making my own bread lately. it’s relaxing, fun and really makes the taste difference. i would [...]
