Happy PI Day! Do something irrational today 😂 #piday #math #mathmemes #314
Another yeast bread attempt! I am quite pleased with this Pane Bianco from @kingarthurflour It was a simple recipe and absolutely delicious. The bread is moist and packed with flavor. I may have added extra garlic 🤫 A dreary weather day here today. Perfect day in the kitchen. Hope you had a great Sunday. #kingarthurflour #bread #yeastbread #panebianco #homemade #homemadebread #lovetocookandbake #yum #tasty #f52grams #feedfeed
This nugget is courtesy of the salted caramel popcorn recipe from @southernbite Swipe to see the whole pan 😋 The recipe is excellent and easy. I did add peanuts as we are nut lovers. I had a great Saturday, breakfast and a movie with my sis. Hope you are enjoying your weekend. #caramelpopcorn #caramel #instafood #popcorn #lovetocook #homemade #snack
Sunday baking! I made this recipe from @kingarthurflour for cinnamon apple twist bread and it turned out delicious. I made one with walnuts and one without. At first I thought the recipe was going to be difficult but it was surprisingly easy. One area that my culinary skills are lacking in is working with yeast. Practice makes perfect and I am determined to make more yeast breads, both sweet and savory. Hope you had a great Sunday. #kingarthurflour #cinnamonappletwistbread #bakealong #apples #bread #sweetbread #yeastbread #yum #delicious #food #foodporn #sundaycooking #instafood #homemade #f52grams
What’s better on a cold winter day than a steaming bowl of baked oatmeal! I love oatmeal but baked oatmeal just takes the oat thing to a whole other level! I followed a recipe by @modern_honey and I customized it a bit by adding raisins and walnuts. I package it in individual servings and I have breakfast for the week. Hopefully the treats in the teacher’s lounge will not be so tempting. Hope you are having a great Thursday. #oatmeal #healthybreakfast #breakfast #homecooking #tastyandhealthy #cereal #modernhoney
With spring 24 days away 🙏🏻 hubs requested a few soups, stews and chili for dinner over the next few weeks. Kind of a farewell dinner tour to winter. I think chili is better the second day, so it’s a perfect thing to make on Sunday and have for a quick week night meal. I love that chili can be personalized with different topping such as onions, cheese, avocado, tortilla strips, cornbread...just be creative. Hubs likes his chili served over rice. Not me. I’m a chili purist, I love a spicy bowl with cornbread. And yes we add beans to our chili. Two secrets to amazing chili: First, I always tenderize the ground beef with with baking soda, salt and water. A little trick I read in @cooksillustrated Second, I add a tablespoon or so of sorghum. If you don’t have sorghum you can use molasses. Add some cornbread and yum! Hope you had a great Sunday. #chili #chiliwithbeans #dinner #beans #sundaycooking #instafood #yum #tasty #foodlove
