This is weird, guys. I don’t normally make a recipe over and over and over without sharing it with you, but that’s exactly what has happened with these sandwich buns. I’ve made these four or five times now — loving them each and every time — and I realized the last time I made them … Continue reading

Potato Dill Bread and Movie Plot Holes
I decided to make this bread as a yummy weekend baking project (and, spoiler alert, it was outstanding). While I was in the kitchen putting everything together, I kept hearing my husband chuckling to himself on the couch. What was so funny!? I demanded to know from the kitchen. Well, it was this. Do you … Continue reading
Cinnamon-Sugar Pumpkin Pull-Apart Bread
Is Thanksgiving breakfast a thing? No, right? You eat the smallest breakfast possible so you have maximum stomach room later in the day, right? Well, shoot. So, if Thanksgiving breakfast were a thing, this would be what you would make for it. This is like…stupid good. Ever since I got my Kitchenaid stand mixer, I’ve … Continue reading
Homemade Whole Wheat Pita Bread
I’ve gotten lots of good feedback lately on my little bloggy-blog, and the consensus seems to be clear: too many recipes that take way too long, have too many steps, and too many ingredients. Listen. I hear you. If I were the kind of person who hated cooking and wanted to spend as little time … Continue reading
Salted Pretzel Rolls
Bad news, ladies — we’re all getting fat. According to a study done in England last year, the average woman’s waist size was 28 inches in the 1950s, but in the last 60 years, it swelled six inches to an average of 34. Part of that is because we’re supposedly consuming 350 more calories per … Continue reading
Chocolate-Cinnamon Babka
When my husband and I were planning our wedding, I got disproportionately stressed out about the whole bridal registry thing. I tried very hard to register only for things that I thought we’d actually use — we asked for plain dinner plates instead of china, I skipped registering for a blender even though my current … Continue reading
Jalapeno Cheddar Bagels
I’m only slowly becoming a decent cook, but I’m not a baker at all. I think cooking and baking are left-brain, right-brain things. Baking is for mathy-sciencey people, for people who can handle precision and attention to detail, for people who like following rules (you know, for NERDS!). Cooking is for us creative types, us … Continue reading
Tomato Basil Bread (and Pesto Chicken Salad Sandwiches)
I think I’ve made pretty clear on this blog that I loooooove carbs. Carbs on carbs on carbs. I’m a carb monster. Us carb-monsters can usually be subdivided into smaller, carb-loving groups — some are pasta people; some are potato lovers. My mom, for example, is a pasta and potato lover, attacking mac-and-cheese, spaghetti, wavy … Continue reading
Italian Beef Sandwiches with Homemade Sandwich Buns
The first time I ever had an Italian beef sandwich was when I was visiting my husband’s family for one of the first times. When I heard what we were having, I was a little apprehensive because I’m not a big red-meat eater, but I should have known better — like everything my now-mother-in-law makes, … Continue reading
