I am loving the new Cooking Channel and one of my favorite shows is Molto Mario with Mario Batali; I try to watch him every morning at 7:30! I rarely watched him while he was originally on the Food Network, but I have found a new appreciation for his historic discussions of Italian way of [...]

Mixing Bread Dough in Food Processor – Best Bread Ever Book
(For Kitchen Bootcamp. The challenge this month is yeast bread) I found a copy of the book “The Best Bread Ever: Great Homemade Bread Using your Food Processor” at the library. I was intrigued because he introduced a technique for mixing bread dough in a food processor. The book is currently out of print (it [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
