Grilled Chicken and Proscuitto Rolls

Sorry I have been lackluster in the grilling department.  Between the bread baker’s apprentice challenge and everything else it is hard to get creative.  I do find myself grilling out a couple times a week but nothing that is ever blog worthy.  Do I need to detail how I made hamburgers or repost a dish […]

Asian style barley

This post is going to be very short because of a softball injury I am having a hard time typing anything involving the right side of the keyboard.  However, I feel that with all this bread posting lately I have strayed off course.  I do not want this blog to turn into a self depreciating […]

The Little Brioche that almost rose

It is really hard to type out this post right now and I am afraid if I take a nap my heart will quit working.  Heck my left arm feels really tingly and it is making it difficult to press any keys on the left of the keyboard.
If you are participating in the Bread Baker’s […]

Lemon quinoa

I hate it when I cook something and there is nothing self-deprecating to write about.  I have been staring at my computer screen typing and deleting such wonderful thoughts as the apple is red or the green spaceman jumped bail.  Normally in these situations I turn to my wonderful friend Mr. Coffee but even he […]

Beer, Brats, and Bagels

All this bloody baking is going to cause me to spiral quickly into a drunken haze of insanity.  The plan was a simple one in that before bedtime on Friday night I would have perfectly shaped bagels resting in the fridge overnight.  This would allow me to wake up on Saturday morning, boil some water, […]

Grilled salmon with dill caper vinaigrette and challenge 2 of BBA

Another grueling battle in the kitchen of Jeff versus the Bread Baker’s Apprentice.  In this week’s round I had to go against Artos or one of his many variations.  I chose to fight his evil cousin the Christopsomos which has raisins, walnuts, and dried cherries mixed into it.  According to the book there is some […]

Mexican inspired quinoa

I hope that I am not the only one during the spring and summer who slows down on posting.  To me this time of year is meant to be enjoyed outside not spent inside trying to be creative or screwing around with Photoshop.
I really hit a creative wall today as I sit here sipping coffee […]

Creamy morel mushroom pasta

I found morel mushrooms!!!  To clarify for those who have been following the ongoing saga, Jeff hunts for mushrooms in the woods, no I did not put on my hiking boots and get lost in the woods.  However, on Saturday when it was pouring rain and once again to wet to do garden work I […]

Wild Mushroom Soup

I am sure that when people think vegetarian cooking my blog is one of the last that comes to mind.  For all the meat centric dishes that are displayed on this blog there is a lot of vegetarian dishes that play second fiddle but never get any credit.  This needs to change because I have […]

Pineapple marinated chicken with a shocking twist

I am no longer a bread virgin and I would like to thank Nicole from Pinch My Salt for this glorious occasion.  Wait…that does not sound right so hmm…let me explain.  A couple weeks ago Nicole tweeted about wanting to bake all the formulas in Bread Baker’s Apprentice and wanted equally insane individuals to help […]
