Okay, so today I decided to try something a little different in the kitchen. I’ve been on a bit of a matcha kick lately, putting it in lattes and whatnot, and I always love a good coffee cake with that crumbly topping. Got me thinking, why not mash ’em together? So, I rolled up my sleeves and decided to make a matcha coffee cake. Here’s...

Alright guys, buckle up, because today I’m spilling the beans on my Honey Bun Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake adventure. It was a wild ride, let me tell you! First things first: I saw this recipe online, looked insane, and I was like, “I HAVE to try this.” So, I gathered my ingredients. Flour, sugar, cream cheese, eggs, cinnamon – the usual suspects. Made sure I had...

Alright, so I decided to give this heritage high gluten flour a whirl. Heard some folks talking about it, figured I’d see what the fuss was about. You know me, always messing around in the kitchen. Getting Started First off, getting my hands on it wasn’t too hard, found it online. When I opened the bag, it looked pretty much like regular flour, maybe a...

Okay, so I got the urge to mess around with dessert calzone fillings the other day. It’s not something I do often, but the idea sounded fun. You know, making those little pockets of sweet goodness. The dough part is pretty straightforward if you buy it or have a go-to recipe, but the inside? That’s where the real game is. Getting Started – The Apple...

Alright, let’s talk about this yeast jar thing I got going on. Been wanting to try my hand at making my own starter for a while now, you know, capture some of that wild yeast floating around.

Okay, so I decided to tackle making one giant chocolate chip cookie in my Dutch oven the other day. Been seeing it around, figured I’d give it a whirl myself. Getting Started – The Dough First things first, I grabbed my ingredients. Nothing fancy, just the usual suspects for chocolate chip cookies: Butter, softened (left mine out on the counter for a bit) Brown sugar...

So, people sometimes get these funny ideas. Like trying to find the “good stuff,” the nutrients, in something like chocolate cake. I mean, seriously? It’s chocolate cake. But okay, I got curious myself not long ago, mostly ’cause I was baking one and started actually looking at what went in. First thing you hit is the flour. Mostly just carbs, right? Gives it structure. Sometimes...

Alright, so I decided to try my hand at a grain-free dessert the other day. My buddy’s been cutting out grains, and I wanted to have something they could actually eat when they came over. Felt like a decent challenge, you know? Usually, I just bake with regular flour, so this was new territory. Getting Started – Finding the Goods First thing, I had to...

Okay, so the other day I was trying to make some cookies, and the recipe called for low gluten flour. I was like, “Low gluten? What’s that?” I usually just grab whatever flour is on sale, you know? So, I had to do a little digging. My Little Research Journey First, I hit up Google. I just typed in “what is low gluten flour” and...

Okay, here’s my attempt at a blog post, following your instructions and example: So, I decided to tackle the Betty Crocker banana bread recipe. You know, the one from that classic red and white cookbook? I’ve seen it floating around forever, and I finally had a bunch of overripe bananas begging to be used. First things first, I grabbed the cookbook. I had preheated the...
