Bierocks

This German street food is one of our favorites. A bit time intensive, but worth the effort at least a few times a year! Bierocks Makes 15 bierocks, 6 dinner servings 2 tbsp canola oil 4 cloves garlic, pressed 3 lb ground beef (I use 15% fat) 3 teaspoon kosher salt 3 teaspoon black pepper 1 tsp ...

Mini Banana Bundt Cake

Wednesday, April 12th, 2017

This is just my favorite banana bread recipe, with half white sugar and half light brown sugar, baked in a little 6 cup bundt pan. It only took about 35 minutes rather than an hour. Winning all around! Mini Banana Bundt Cake Makes 1 small cake Ingredients 3-4 small to medium very ...

Baked Pumpkin Doughnuts

Sunday, February 24th, 2013

This excellent recipe comes from King Arthur Flour. I upped the spices a bit, used a full small can of pumpkin, and made them in my mini doughnut pan, so I ended up with 32 mini doughnuts instead of 12 large ones. The recipe on the King Arthur ...

Bierocks

Monday, October 8th, 2012

We went to a sadly disappointing Oktoberfest down in Puyallup this past weekend. The food was mediocre and overpriced, which wouldn't have been quite as bad if they didn't charge admission to the whole thing. There were a couple vendors, and a bean bag toss game set up, ...

Product Review: Immaculate Baking Co. Cranberry Orange Scones

Sunday, August 12th, 2012

I saw these Immaculate Baking Co. Cranberry Orange Scones at the grocery store this morning, and they intrigued me greatly. They were with all the other dough in a can type things like the crescent rolls, but this company does an all natural product and had a very interesting ...

Deep Dish Sourdough Pizza

Saturday, December 31st, 2011

We love Chicago-style pizza, and there's just none to be had in Seattle. I found a recipe for sourdough pizza crust on the King Arthur Flour website, and gave it a go in a cast iron skillet. It turned out really well! We went cheese-less, but if ...

Cinnamon Apple Flatbread

Sunday, October 23rd, 2011

This recipe is originally from King Arthur Flour. I've modified it a bit based on what I have, so my version is below. This was a really tasty, sweet but not too sweet bread that was perfect for autumn. I got to use my sourdough starter too ...

Rustic Sourdough Rolls

Sunday, September 11th, 2011

I ordered some fresh sourdough starter from King Arthur Flour and it came yesterday. I immediately started with the initial feedings, and now have a happy bubbly starter to play with. :-) My first attempt follows their basic rustic sourdough loaf, just dividing the dough ...

Grilled Hawaiian Pizza

Monday, June 20th, 2011

We revisited grilled pizza tonight after the success of the grilled garlic flatbread. Tonight I went for a Hawaiian pizza - ham and pineapple. This was another great success! We'll definitely be coming back to this over the summer with new and fun toppings :-D ...
