Whole Wheat Caramel Rolls

by Anna on February 28, 2007 · 4 comments

Baking with whole grains is trendy right now, but this recipe is 50 years old. It was an entry in the 1957 Pillsbury Bake-Off. I’m not sure if Pillsbury has updated it for modern times or if they left it as is. The recipe is easy to follow, but watch the flour. It …

Giant Brownies

by Anna on February 25, 2007 · 8 comments

Here’s another quick and easy brownie recipe. What I like about this one, besides how easy it is, is that it makes sturdy, semi-fudgy, brownies which you can wrap individually. Another bonus is that it doesn’t use a million types of chocolate. It’s pretty straightforward with 5 oz unsweetened. This is nice when you are [...]

Challah

by Anna on February 24, 2007 · 9 comments

One of my favorite types of bread is Challah. It’s pretty, has an interesting texture and tastes really good. Unfortunately, it’s not easy to find good Challah around here, so I have to bake it myself. The last batch I made was a disaster due to an error in how much flour was needed. …

Banana Bread Biscotti

by Anna on February 23, 2007 · 18 comments

TGIUUBD! That stands for Thank God it’s “Use up Banana Day”. This special day comes around every 6 months. It starts when my daughter launches a campaign to buy bananas, which no one in the family really eats – including her. Not wanting to hinder the natural evolution of her mercurial little taste buds, I [...]
