Blueberry Brie Pull Apart Bread

November 11, 2015 7 Comments

Are you guys suckers for commercials the way that I am? Dan always says that when he sees something ridiculous being advertised on TV, his first thought is “I bet Tina would like that.” Sadly, he’s not wrong…my mind is really susceptible to suggestion (and gimmicks…and jingles), you guys. As a food blogger, my favorite commercials are,…read more »

Pretzel Bites with Spicy Beer-Cheese Dip

September 15, 2014 18 Comments

Fall is almost here, and as I mentioned before I’m looking forward to a whole bunch of fall-related things. In no particular order, I am excited for: fluffy sweaters, apple picking, camp fires, crisp mornings/evenings, all things s’mores-related, root vegetables, apple pie, red/gold leaves, crunchy leaf piles, hot apple cider, Halloween, camping/hiking (we do this in…read more »

Glazed Cinnamon Apple Braided Bread

September 9, 2014 14 Comments

So, Labor Day has come and gone, which I guess means that summer is almost over? I have very conflicted feelings about this. On the one hand, I’m not ready to give up warm weather, fruity blended cocktails, or my cute summer dresses/sandals (layering for warmth is not my best look). On the other hand, I’m…read more »

Flour Bakery Sticky Buns + Anniversary…and a GIVEAWAY! {GIVEAWAY CLOSED}

September 6, 2014 181 Comments

Exactly 1 year and 19 days ago, I married my best friend. To be honest, typing that makes me cringe a little – usually I’m the person that secretly judges other people for posting gushy love notes to/about their significant others online for everyone to see – but it’s a true statement, and I stand by it (I never said I wasn’t…read more »

Pepperoni Pizza Pretzel Hand Pies….and a GIVEAWAY! {GIVEAWAY CLOSED}

October 21, 2013 33 Comments

I’ve said this before, but…I suck at homemade bread recipes. Or, more accurately, I suck at recipes that involve yeast. Some people have a black thumb when it comes to plants, I have black hands when it comes to yeast. My dough never rises nearly as much as it ought to, and I always, always…read more »

Jalapeno Cheddar Hamburger Buns

June 10, 2012 3 Comments

Guys, I just discovered that my Cuisinart bread maker has a “dough” mode. A dough mode! An entire mode dedicated solely to mixing ingredients and kneading it into a perfectly smooth, elastic round of dough! Do you know how exciting this is??? This is going to absolutely revolutionize my bread making. Putting aside the fact…read more »

Garlic Parmesan Pull-Apart Bread

November 12, 2011 5 Comments

You know what the hardest part of food blogging is? Timing your cooking so that by the time you’re ready to pull out your camera, there’s still enough natural light left to shoot decent photos. If you work during the day, that usually means that by the time you get home and start cooking, you’re…read more »

Brioche Buns

September 22, 2011 5 Comments

Guys, making bread is hard. Or maybe I’m just really bad at it. Either way, my dough just doesn’t rise the way it’s supposed to. Either my yeast is sluggish, or I’m killing them. I could swear I did everything right this time, though — I let the yeast percolate in warm sugar water…I didn’t use…read more »

Focaccia

April 3, 2011 Leave a Comment

OK, can we all take a moment to reflect on the fact that I successfully handled yeast today with 100% success? For the first time in almost a year full of botched bread-making attempts, everything that was supposed to happen, happened. The yeast foamed; the dough came together and then rose beautifully; and the bread…read more »
