Chili and roasted garlic grilled chicken

How can you go wrong with a recipe inspired from Rick Bayless?  Believe me you cannot especially if that recipe involves an entire roasted head of garlic.
The beautiful thing about this recipe is that it is very quick and simple especially if you already have roasted garlic laying around in the fridge.  If you do […]

BBA French bread

Another flipping bread post….man they seem to never end.  How to sell the bread?  Hmm…it is bread and it is delicious that good enough?  Oh wait it has a crispy outside and a chewy inside.
I am so lazy writing about this bread that I debated waiting a day and making this a Wordless Wednesday post……………….

If […]

Roasted tomato sausage penne

If you would have told me a month ago I would be getting fresh tomatoes I probably would have laughed at you because this has been a horrible tomato year for me.  It started with 11 tomato plants (10 of them in raised beds and 1 little guy in a container on my back patio).  […]

BBA: Italian bread

Another weekend which means two more breads in the Bread Baker’s Apprentice challenge are done.  I wish all we did was bread but it felt like from sun up to well past sun down we were constantly tethered to the kitchen or garden.  Heck here is the just what I remember we did:

 Canned 19 more […]

BBA Cinnamon Raisin

The only interesting item that happened with the cinnamon raisin bread is that we ran a little experiment while making it.  Heather always used measuring and everything I read (remember virgin baker until this bloody Bread Baker Apprentice) was you weigh everything.  However, during the course of the last couple breads we have found that […]

Nutella Ice Cream with Coffee Cherries

I think I found my problem and that is I am a twitter addict. Before I found twitter I had a perfectly content blog dealing in random crap with no real purpose or theme. Now my blog has been transformed into a bread baking machine and now well a nutella madman.  A huge […]

Focaccia with caramelized onions and parmesan cheese

Woo hoo time for another weekly installment of “As the Bread Proofs” (please read that sentence using your best cheesy soap opera monologue guy voice)….
Without fail we had to make focaccia on the freaking hottest day of the year.  Since we are two foodies trapped in a kitchen we decided it would be a great […]

Quinoa and herb salad

I know most people are probably freaking shocked because for once it is not a bread post.  However, for those who are dying to see the Bread Baker’s Apprentice of the week you will have to be more patient because either the cinnamon raisin walnut or focaccia (which I have to say was my favorite […]

BBA Cranberry Walnut Bread

Another week in the joy and joyness of bread baker’s apprentice.  Truthfully if I did not commit to do every recipe in the book I would have skipped this one.  I like cranberries and I like walnuts but ehh the bread just sounded ehh…boring.  Now the english muffins, focaccia, pizza dough, and baguettes those definitely […]

BBA Cornbread and English Muffins

There is a good amount of joy and joyness that comes from dating a fellow foodie and more joy if that foodie happens to also be a blogger.
Here are just a couple differences:

Previous dates would look at me weird when I bust out a camera to snap pictures of food I have just cooked.  A […]
