The ephemeral bee seems to have become a bread blog lately, and here’s yet another bread recipe for the books. I’m going to chalk it up to my love for freshly baked bread and the cool autumn, perfect for soup, weather. These bread rolls were particularly easy to bake. Requiring only a 5 minute machine…
Apple Quick-Bread
A honey infused apple quick-bread with a sour cream base, I set out to bake a simple apple quick-bread that was slightly more savory then an apple cake (I’m thinking breakfast) and not heavily spiced. One of my latest food revelations is that heavily spiced apple cakes/breads muffle the bright, saccharinely tart flavors of a…
Hard Cider Bread
The fall weather has arrived which means that I can take up homemade bread baking again. This recipe came about in a “lets throw a few ingredients into a bowl and see what happens” kind of way. Followed by a “it’s too warm and I don’t have the time to bake” period in the back…
Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Figs
One of my friends, that I happen to be visiting with recently, is on a very restricted diet which excludes all dairy, eggs, gluten, night-shades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers…), sugar, grains, seeds, and nuts. Honestly, I’m not sure how one functions, or even exists, on such a diet, but she insists that it’s a viable medical…
Cinnamon Roll End Bread
I baked 6 dozen cinnamon rolls for a catering order last week, which, I am proud to say, turned out fine. I’ve baked dozens of cinnamon rolls throughout the years, and have had my fair share of cinnamon roll learning experiences (i.e. flops) and successes. It comes with a long sigh of relief that I…
Honey Pickles
I felt like I needed to get this post in before the official start of Fall, which happens to be tomorrow, although it still doesn’t feel like Fall. It’s hard to believe that I turned on my AC last Monday. Crazy. Total Boloney. At this time of year I’m usually contemplating on how long I…
Dark Zucchini Bread
My wonderful cousin Jen gave us three massive zucchinis – you know, the behemoths that lurk in the back corners of your garden, the ones that you’ve mistakenly overlooked a day or two ago, the ones that are longer then your forearm and almost twice as thick, the ones you close your car windows to…
Lemon Lavender Shortbread
There is something about lemon and lavender that works really well together. The tanginess of the lemon cuts in nicely with the floral flavors of the lavender smoothing them out to a subtly pleasant flavor that pairs rather well with the butteriness of the shortbread. I also happened to have several sprigs of fresh lavender…
