Homemade Flour Tortillas

There are some foods that almost seem out of range to make at home and so we automatically buy them at the store to use as ingredients to make other foods, tortillas are on of these foods I think. We use them to make wraps, soft tacos, quesadillas etc…But how cool is it to make…

Soft Pretzels – Oh Baby!

There a few things in this world as delicious as homemade bread, even better though is a homemade soft pretzel… they not only taste like bread but they’re chewy and salty and the crust sticks to your teeth just a bit when you tear a piece off, oh baby they are so good!

Seriously Addictive Pizza Rolls

For those of you who have read my previous posts, you know I have three kids, two boys and a girl… well these kids are growing and eating like crazy and I am always trying to find ways to help them, help themselves to food. These pizza rolls are awesome for when the kids get…

Homemade Hamburger Buns

I’ve said in previous posts that I did not like homemade hamburgers when I was growing up because my dad would add big chunks of peppers and onions and then he’d over cook them until they were dry and round little balls of charcoal. He would then put the overcooked burgers between two slices of…

Perfect Sandwich Bread

I know we are all trying to watch the carbs, the gluten and the “white” foods but for real, bread is my thing and I just gotta have good white bread to dip into marinara or make a great sandwich or to eat straight from the oven while I hide in my pantry. I have…

Easy French Baguette

It is incredibly satisfying to make your own bread, there’s really nothing else like it… it’s not basic or elementary, it seems advanced somehow and therefore, more of an accomplishment.

Honey & Grains Bread

Good bread is amazing! I have a theory that if someone invented a perfume that smelled like freshly baked bread, men would flock towards the women who were wearing it. There is just something about that smell that’s so incredible. I love all bread but I especially like breads that have some chew to them….

Authentic Greek Pita

When I first started dating my husband I thought the fact that he was Greek was cool although it wasn’t something that I thought would be a big part of who he is since he was born in Canada. It wasn’t until I met his family, including both sets of grandparents, his parents and three…

Country Supper Biscuits

Anyone who knows me well knows that I have a preoccupation with the 1950’s and southern belles, I just love the thought of being in my kitchen and making biscuits for my family and I imagine that it happened regularly in the 1950’s and still happens today in the Southern U.S.  There is something so…

The Best Pizza Dough

This is truly the best pizza dough I’ve ever made! I have made a lot of bad pizzas in my search to find a great recipe. I found one that I love and then, ofcourse I played with it until it was perfect! This is one of the recipes where I am very particular about…

Soft Homemade Buns

Ok, so I have to post my bread recipe as my first published recipe. The story here starts with my Grandma. She was a woman wit a strong personality and opinions to match; when she would visit if someone said something she didn’t like, she would hum. She had five daughters including my mom and…
