Some days I’m hungry for that chicken pot pie flavor but may not want the crust for one reason or another (mostly because my husband is not a pie crust fan)….and this is a simple, one pot meal! It also makes enough to feed about eight people, so it’s a […]

My friend Stephanie over at https://unfoldinglovelyeats.com/ is always on a food adventure of some sort and inspired me to try paratha, a layered Indian flatbread. You can find the original recipe I used here: https://thegardeningfoodie.com/layered-flatbread/ and see my original flatbread post here: Layered Indian Flatbread (Paratha) This was super with […]
Paratha, or a layered Indian flatbread. I was inspired by my beautiful friend Stephanie over at https://unfoldinglovelyeats.com/ to try a layered Indian flatbread. Since I’ve never actually had it before, I’m not sure what it’s supposed to be like, but I liked it. (You can find the original recipe here: […]
30 minutes from “chicken in the freezer” and potatoes in the bag, to chicken, scalloped potatoes, and Brussels sprouts on the table! I got a hankering for scalloped potatoes. Well, I was hoping to cook them sliced, in sauce, in the IP – pot in pot — but […]
We like the Pillsbury “whomp biscuits” version of Orange Danish Rolls. Yep, the store-bought, heaven-knows-what’s-in-them version. That little can is a special treat.

For years, cooks used the Bosch Universal mixer with the original dough hook, with much success. Even after the Universal Plus was released, the same dough hook has worked well for thousands of bakers—but for some who were concerned about small-batch kneading, Bosch came out with a dough hook extender.

This is just a quickie video tutorial of the bread-making process for making sandwich bread using my Bosch Universal Plus mixer. ( Need a mixer? Want a mixer? I can set you up!) This particular batch is made of two thirds whole grain flour, but you can use whatever higher-gluten […]
UPDATE: This post was specifically for my sourdough journey, but I’ve also started making NON-sourdough English muffins. That recipe is also in my cookbook, Everyday Cooking, but you can still read through this recipe for the basics of how to actually shape, cook, etc. _____________________________________________________ I’ve gotten on a sourdough […]
We’re all in quarantine-baking mode out our way. My niece made some AMAZING cupcakes (she really should be a pro baker) and we couldn’t have any (social distancing, and five-hour drive LOL), so we had to at least bake some brownies over here. Some of us like nuts, and some […]
