mexican cheese bread
Before I get into this, I have to tell you upfront that this isn’t an authentic Mexican recipe at all. What qualifies it to be called Mexican Cheese Bread is simply that you use some ingredients from Mexico. If you can’t find them, use the substitutes specified below, it will still be good. I have…

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,…

la tartiflette
From the moment I saw this potato dish, I knew I’d make it for myself and end up posting it for November since it screams Thanksgiving, doesn’t it? Aside from Thanksgiving, it would also make a great brunch item. It’s a potato au gratin type of recipe originating from the French Alps using a special…

red onion walnut bialys

My mother used to prepare it very simply, usually just sautéed with…

butternut squash galette
One Word: Flakey! By the way, is it “flakey” or “flaky”? I’m going with flakey. If you like a flakey crust recipe, and you don’t mind the “rusticity” of a galette, then this recipe from Epicurious is for you! Autumn roasting of fruit continues! That’s right, butternut squash is technically a fruit. Crazy, huh? And yes,…

mushroom cheese rolls
Here I go procrastinating again! Baked these on Sunday, then somehow the day just came and went after that and never got around to updating the bloggity blog. And it’s not like we did a whole bunch of stuff either! So I’m updating this at work. (shhh.) Wait. It’s my lunch break, it’s okay. These…

bacon cheddar mac and cheese muffins
Hola! I survived brunch with my older brother, two nieces, and a nephew yesterday. Was really hoping to also see my other nephew, my sister, and her husband, but alas, that was not meant to be. Not that I thought I wouldn’t survive it. It’s just that sometimes I get stressed when hosting a brunch, not knowing…
