So, I got this idea the other weekend. Felt like doing something cozy, you know? Winter’s still hanging around. And I was thinking about simple stuff, good stuff. Bread and honey just popped into my head. Then I thought, beer goes well with pretty much everything, right? So, why not a bread and honey beer menu? Just a little thing, maybe for when friends drop...

Okay, let’s talk about this King Arthur All Purpose flour situation. I’ve been using it for a while now, like a lot of folks. It’s just kinda my go-to when I’m at the store. So the other day, I was messing around in the kitchen, trying out a new bread recipe. Sometimes things work out great, other times… not so much. This got me thinking...

Alright, let me tell you about my little adventure with kitchen tools, specifically finding a decent non-toxic rubber spatula. It sounds simple, but man, it turned into a bit of a quest. It all started when I was cooking, stirring some sauce or something, and I noticed the edge of my old trusty spatula looked… rough. Like, slightly melted or worn down in a weird...

Okay, so the other day I had this wild idea. I needed to frost a ridiculous number of cupcakes for a big family get-together. Seriously, like, mountains of them. My regular piping bags? No way. I’d be refilling them every five minutes, and frankly, I just didn’t have the patience for that. I thought, “Right, I need the biggest piping bag known to man.” Maybe...

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. Seemed like a neat little project. Getting Started First things first, I needed a container. Didn’t want anything fancy. Found an old glass jar in the back of...

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...
