I’m racking my brain for the best way to describe a huminta, and all that I can come up with is the Bolivian version of a tamale, but that seems like a tragically inefficient way of categorizing these wonderful cheesy pastry. This Bolivian speciality consists of a sweet corn dough, stuffed with a salty white…
Green Salt Focaccia
I have been an awful blogger lately, I hit my all-time low (or at least I hope so) last month with one measly post, and last week I didn’t even have the excuse of being busy with work. I spent my warm summer beach days lazily drifting along the ocean currents, soaking up the sun,…
Sticky Buns
Sticky Buns – cinnamon roll’s nutty more complicated cousin. By more complicated, I’m referring to the extra day it takes to make these gooey lovelies (it can be done in one very long day, but it is actually easier to not cut corners with this one), the application and creation of the filling which requires…
Strawberry Focaccia Faux Cheese Danish
A strawberry focaccia cheese danish? Where to start? This idea floated my way via Living magazine, and I though, there’s an idea – a low fat, simplified version of a cheese danish, that doesn’t involve strategically layering a pound of butter into your dough – stellar! I had to try it, at least once and,…

Homemade granola is all about taking back control over your cereal. It is from this early morning soapbox that you can start your day right – with a measured allowance of sugar, that leaves plenty of dietary room for that chocolate treat that’s looming at the back of your mind throughout the day, a reduction…
Cheddar & Jalapeño Boule
A spin off of last weeks post, this wild leavened sourdough is studded with cubes of sharp cheddar cheese and a fresh jalapeños. One of my latest tricks is to cut my cheese into little cubes instead of grating it. This allows for mini pockets of melted cheese throughout the bread, ensuring that the cheese…
Wild Yeast Leavened Bread
I have been sitting on this blog post for weeks. Writing about this process seemed like a massive daunting task that I was ill equipped to handle, after all, what do I really know about cultivating my own bread yeast? and messing around with all that bacteria? I’m likely to poison someone. I quickly got…
Cowboy Cookies
For when regular chocolate chip cookies just won’t cut it… Cowboy cookies elevate chocolate chip cookies to a whole new level with the inclusion of coconut, oats, and pecans. Every time I bake these cookies I’m at war with myself as to whether this is cookie overkill. I mean there is, absolutely, nothing wrong with…
