croque madame bread pudding
Greetings! This is a bread pudding version of a French dish that is basically a ham and cheese sandwich served hot with extra cheese, a Bechamel sauce, and a sunny side egg on top. I wanted to make a bread pudding recipe that looked more orderly and layered the bread with the other ingredients, rather…

garlic rolls
Greetings! I know garlic confit sounds a little fancy, but it’s basically slow cooking a bunch of peeled garlic cloves in oil in a 200 degree F. oven to bring out their sweetness as well as make them soft and spreadable. This takes about 2 hours in the oven, though, so if you’d rather not,…

chicken and waffles
You may or may not notice that this is a recipe is from a blog post I did several years ago. For about a year, I’ve been wanting to do spot checks on my blog posts to make sure the recipes were not only written correctly, but also whether I’d make any changes to them.…

bread pudding muffins
How much do I love these? Let me count the ways… I know I often start out a blog post saying that whatever I made turned out really good or better than what I was expecting, but for these bread pudding muffins, it’s TRUE! 😀 I think it’s because I made sure to do the…

The Nutty Irish Dutch Baby

The term Dutch Baby stems from “Deutsche Pfannkuchen”, which translates to German Pancakes. A restaurant in the 1900s Seattle, owned by Victor Manca and called Manca’s, offered them on…

banana caramel bread pudding
I know what you are thinking: Why on earth would you make a loaf of yeast risen banana bread for the sole purpose of turning it into a banana bread pudding? Wouldn’t it have been easier to just add bananas to a traditional bread pudding recipe? The answer is: Because I had time, and yes,…

rosehip nut bread
Okay, I promise this is the last time you’ll be seeing rosehips here. Haha! Lessons learned from a overeager weekend forager: Rugosa rosehips may seem ripe, but if you wait a few more weeks, their colors deepen even more, and they get a little softer. Debate is still out whether their flavor deepens, too, although…

italian plum cobbler
I keep wanting to type ‘pudding’ instead of ‘cobbler’ for this recipe, but I don’t know why, lol. This is sort of a cakey version of a cobbler, adapted from here. If there has been one clear benefit since working from home and thus having more time to walk around and explore my ‘hood, it’s…
