I’ve been experimenting for a few weeks, and I think I’ve found the trick to making delicious flavorful bread dough. It’s easy, but it’s time consuming, taking about 2 days to complete. You can use any whole grain/whole wheat bread recipe, but reduce the yeast amount to 1/2 or 3/4 tsp. Here’s what you do:

Homemade Dried Celery Flakes
I love Penzy’s Spices dried celery flakes, and I pay about $3.50 for a small bag. This week, in our CSA share, we received a large celery loaded with fresh dark leaves! So, I trimmed off all the leaves and dried them in my counter top convection oven – 150-200 ° for about one hour. [...]
Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins
I found the book Muffins & Quick Breads (Williams-Sonoma Kitchen Library) at the library a few weeks ago and after browsing through the many recipes, I found so many that I was excited to try! A lot of the recipes were lower in sugar, and that was even better. I searched for it on Amazon [...]
Eggplant Parmesan Soup
I found a fabulous soup book at the library! New England Soup Factory Cookbook: More Than 100 Recipes from the Nation’s Best Purveyor of Fine Soup is written by a local woman who operates two restaurants in the Boston area. I’ve never heard of her restaurants, but the book looked interesting with gorgeous photos and [...]
Whole Wheat Oat Bran Raisin Muffins
Baked some yummy healthy muffins this afternoon! I’ve been dying to try some of the recipes from the book Tate’s Bake Shop Cookbook: The Best Recipes from Southampton’s Favorite Bakery for Homestyle Cookies, Cakes, Pies, Muffins, and Breads. I found it at the library months ago, and copied a few of the recipes I wanted [...]
Freezing Raw Tomatoes
Maria, my Facebook buddy, informed me that you can indeed freeze raw whole tomatoes…awesome! I wish I knew this BEFORE picking up my CSA veggie share this week, as there was a “take as many as you can use” box of free “seconds” tomatoes that were bruised or gouged! I didn’t take any because I [...]
Fresh Roasted Tomatoes with Pasta
I had an amazing dinner tonight! I recently picked up the CSA share for the week and there was an abundance of wonderful tomatoes! I knew I had to roast some for pasta. I sliced the heirloom tomato we received, plus one roma and two slicing tomatoes, and I mixed them in a baking dish [...]
Quinoa Pasta with Raw Tomato Sauce
It’s Raw week over at the “I Heart Cooking Clubs” web site. Raw? Hmm, what kind of inventive dish could I make that’s raw? I launched the Mark Bittman “How To Cook Everything” iPhone app and searched for “raw” – the first recipe that popped up was “Linguine with Raw Tomato Sauce” – oh that [...]
Whole Wheat (fresh) Apricot Nut Bread
I bought a box of fresh local apricots the other day and I wanted to use them up, along with one overly-ripe lonely banana. Wouldn’t a nice loaf of whole wheat sweet bread would do the trick! So, I googled, and would you believe most of the apricot/banana bread recipes use “dried” apricots. These were [...]
