Dutch Oven Bread

Is there anything more mouth-watering than perfect bread that’s still warm from the oven? The aroma alone is worth dirtying some dishes. This bread is tangy, a bit like sourdough, and really could not be easier to make. You don’t even need to knead it! Don’t have a Dutch oven? Try my braided loaf! This…

Charcuterie Cones

Could this be any cuter! I’m squealing just looking at the pictures. A couple of years ago, I made homemade bread cones for Disney Dinners: Cars because Disney’s California Adventure sells the “cozy cones” at the Cozy Cone Motel in Cars Land. For my dinner, I filled the cones with mac ‘n’ cheese a la…

Loaded Focaccia

Today in the kitchen we’re taking a trip to Italy! My loaded focaccia is cheesy, flavorful, and easy to make. With mozzarella, homemade pesto, olives, and tomatoes, this focaccia is a dream Italian lunch. I’ve spent a lot of time this past year virtually traveling through YouTube and blogs. I was reading old Europe posts…

Braided Loaf

What’s more fun than baking bread? There’s just something so satisfying about slathering butter and jam on warm bread that was flour mere hours ago. This is an easy white bread recipe that only takes about 10 minutes of active time and two hours of inactive time – not bad for bread! You might remember…

How to Make Tortillas

What does a Texan do when she doesn’t want to go to the store to get tortillas? She makes her own! Mexican food (and TexMex of course) is part of the culture here in Texas. If I leave the state for even twenty-four hours, I have to go out for Mexican food as soon as I return….

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

I’m always in the mood for banana bread. I mean, honestly, what’s better than a thick slice of banana bread warm from the oven with melty chocolate chips? That’s the epitome of comfort baking. If you’ve never made banana bread, it could not be simpler. You whisk together the dry ingredients, stir in the wet…

Rapunzel’s Braid Bread

The most delicious baguette-size bread you’ll ever bake at home Wow, this is good bread. I have been dying to share this recipe with you! Imagine slathering a warm, fluffy piece of white bread with sweet honey butter. I came up with this whimsical recipe for Disney Dinners: Tangled and let me tell you, you will be the hero…

Parmesan Cheddar Scones

The best savory scone recipe on the internet. There, I said it. I originally planned to serve these fluffy English scones with whipped bacon butter and the bacon actually detracted from the scone. That’s how good these are. They’re mind-blowing. Serve them at brunch, at afternoon tea, or just wolf down one or three whenever wherever…

Rosemary Focaccia

Is there anything better than warm focaccia straight out of the oven? I think not! I hesitated posting this because there are a million focaccia recipes on the internet and they’re all mostly the same BUT my dad kept raving about how this was the best focaccia he’s ever had and I think that’s largely…
