The Beauty of a Bread Machine
Sunday, February 28th, 2010
Friday I got a wild hair (or is it hare?) to bake some bread. Luckly I remember Kim & Kjell bought a bread machine, and I was lucky enough to borrow it. Well since Friday night i’ve baked 5 loaves of bread and gained 5lbs. The baking frenzy will calm, but i’m really excited about the idea of never having to buy bread again. The pictured loaf is a Jalapeno Cheese bread, the recipe is below the cut. Although my prized loaf so far is a delicious Rosemary and Olive Oil. I’ll get some pictures and post the recipe soon.
Pretty Candied Cranberries
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009
For Thanksgiving I made some candied cranberries which sampled and got the idea from Whole Foods. I’m pretty sure the bag of cranberries I bought were not ripe enough, so I would sample your cranberries before going through the whole process…like I did. They still turned out pretty though!
Stuffed Bell Peppers

This is a fairly simple recipe to make an impressive main course. I’ve made it a few times and it seems to be a hit! Goes well with salad and roasted fingerling potatoes.
Pumpkin – Gnocchi Ravioli
Sunday, October 25th, 2009
Friday evening we had some friends over for dinner, one of which is allergic to gluten and dairy. I had planned on experimenting with a craving for ravioli, so I went ahead and tried it gluten free and non gluten free. Both recipes included in this post.
You Are What You Eat
Sunday, October 25th, 2009
If you haven’t checked out Ampersand located on 29th and Alberta in NE Portland, I urge you to stop in sometime, especially durring a Last Thursday event. The small shop specializes in books and retail committed to cultural preservation of historic and contemporary documents and collectables. You can purchase anything from vintage Playboy magazines, to hundred year old love letters written to long gone romantics.
Rainbow Cupcakes
Wednesday, October 14th, 2009
Piet sent me this recipe from another blog who had made a cake with it, but I thought I would try cupcakes instead. These are super fun to make, and would make a perfect project for kids, a birthday party….or for an unemployed 24 year old adult…right?
