It’s no secret that I do not like store bought tortillas. They smell weird and taste worse. I like restaurant tortillas or the ones you can buy at the store that aren’t cooked yet but not the pre-made kind. These handmade tortillas are so incredibly easy to make. I used to make a different recipe…

I want to take a moment and first say, soft pretzels are not as hard to make as you think. They take a bit of time, like all yeast doughs, but honestly, way less scary than you’re imagining. I promise. This recipe comes from a lot of research and combining techniques and recipes from like…

The 2 worst parts about cinnamon rolls in my opinion, are 1) the center cinnamon rolls often are still doughy and 2) If you don’t bake them close together then they are all dry. I don’t waste my calories for a day on a doughy or dry cinnamon roll. When I tried making biscuit cinnamon…

I discovered blender muffins this past year and I’m in love. These Whole Grain Chocolate Banana Blender Muffins are one of my favorites I’ve made.

Costco blueberry muffins are my go to favorite store-bought muffins.

This recipe for breadsticks is an oldie and a goodie for me. One of my first. A recipe given to me which I made so many times that I perfected my own version of it. When I was eighteen years old and moved to college, I made a life-long friend my very first year: Melissa.…

Homemade croutons are delicious. I had a roommate that used to make them but hadn’t ever done it myself till recently and now I’m a die-hard fan. They don’t take much effort and are super quick to do. They don’t have the preservatives that store-bought ones have and a lot less sodium too. My 3-year-old…

I’ve eaten Lion House rolls on many occasions, particularly when shooting wedding dinners/luncheons at the Lion House itself, but had never made them until about 6 months ago. Since then I have made them every month. They make the whole apartment smell so warm and inviting and cozy. My husband instantly knows when I made…

It took me so long to find poppy seeds here in Finland. I could find them sold in like a liter sized container but no reasonable sized container. It would take me years to use that many poppy-seeds. Then a friend of ours moved back to America and she gave me her stash of baking…
