A big hit at our most recent choir party was a dip brought by one of the sopranos. It turned out to be buffalo chicken dip and it seems that the standard recipe is at allrecipes! Here is how I made it tonight to general approval. This will take less than an hour and will Read More …
This version of naan is based on a recipe from lentillovingfamily.com. It makes 8 breads and takes less than 3 hours end to end, although it would probably be even better with an overnight stay in the refrigerator.

It was an opportunity to use my mint patch one more time before the cold weather does it in for the season. This takes about an hour and will make 6 servings ½ bunch of fresh mint 3 Read More …
This is a variation of 100% Red Fife Sourdough Boule using whole grain Turkey Red flour. This heirloom flour, which I bought from Breadtopia, was the dominant hard winter wheat in the Great Plains from the late 1800s until it was superseded by newer varieties. It made a very good whole wheat boule with a Read More …
