Just made the most delicious flatbread pizza tonight, with freshly roasted tomatoes and onions. I am obsessed with roasted plum tomatoes! Normally, roma plum tomatoes are dull and flavorless if eaten raw. But when they finish roasting, the flavor is intense! The only problem is, it’s best to cook them low and slow, so you [...]

100% Whole Grain No-Knead Bread Retry
When will I learn? Hahaha. I just don’t seem to be meshing with the no-knead bread craze! Whenever I try, it always seems like more work to me, and always makes me feel intimidated by the sticky flimsy dough! Very frustrating. But I keep trying. I’m sure this will not be my last attempt, especially [...]
Recipe – Roasted Tomatoes & Spinach Over Pasta
I love roasted tomatoes. I made them by accident a couple of weeks ago, on top of chicken breast, and ever since, I’ve been dreaming about their delicious flavor. Similar to sun dried tomatoes, but even better! So, I the other night, I roasted a batch, added some pasta with wilted spinach and we had [...]
Crumb & Crust Troubleshooting
Sometimes my bread comes out pretty good, and sometimes it has small issues. For instance, my oatmeal bread from yesterday. The first slice looked and tasted fine…but then this morning, when I sliced a few more servings, I noticed the crumb was a little too crumbly and the crust was coming unattached. I have had [...]
Transitional Whole Wheat Oatmeal Bread Recipe
My DH asked me if next time, I could make a “whiter” bread for him, so this “transitional” bread recipe is for my wonderful dear husband. Even though it’s not 100% whole grain, it still offers a good amount of fiber! Inspired by the Oatmeal Bread recipe found on King Arthur Flour’s web site.
100% Whole Wheat Banana Nut Bread
IMPORTANT: I had originally calculated the nutritional data incorrectly. It’s been updated! I had three over-ripe bananas, and of course I thought of baking some delicious banana bread! I wanted to utilize a lower sugar (or at least lower processed sugar) recipe that uses whole wheat flour, and I think I have it! At 211 [...]
100% Whole Grain Wheat & Rosemary Sunflower Bread Recipe
Made a new bread this afternoon. Just had a slice, and it’s hearty and wheaty tasting! Modified from my regular 100% whole wheat recipe that I based on the Walnut Whole Wheat Bread recipe from King Arthur Whole Grain Baking book. Ingredients 2 Tbsp Almond Oil (olive oil or any other vegetable oil) 2 Tbsp [...]
Homemade Microwave Popcorn
My microwave usage has gone way down since I started eating cleaner. I am not necessarily afraid of the “microwaves” emoting from the microwave, but I don’t think it cooks food quite the same as on the stove or in the oven. I think it kills a lot of healthy nutrients. But I was intrigued [...]
100% Whole Wheat Bread With Caraway & Poppy Seeds
Oh my, I baked bread this afternoon, and I am in love with this recipe! I couldn’t wait, I had to slice a piece! It was heaven. A big ole slice of heaven! I used the same recipe as the previous 100% Whole Wheat with Rosemary Bread, except that I swapped the rosemary for some [...]
