Something about that wide open crumb structure set my bread-loving taste buds aflame with exultation. I recently purchased: Earlier this week we posted about our house cured and smoked bacon, which got me thinking… Doesn’t Zen offer a bacon and potato ciabatta-like loaf as a part of their bread selection? Yes, yes they do, and… Continue reading Bacon Infused Ciabatta
Smoking Your Bacon
We like bacon around here. In fact, who doesn’t like bacon? Chances are, you have bacon in your fridge right now – store-bought bacon. It’s packaged in clear plastic so that every time you open your fridge you have to look at it and think, “hmm, I could use some bacon crumbles in this salad.”… Continue reading Smoking Your Bacon
Fish Tacos with Avocado Cream
We were leafing through the book and he suggested Fish Tacos. At first, I dismissed it, but it got stuck in my brain. Fish Tacos did sound good, and I think I can get on board with any recipe that has cream in the title. I had never made this recipe before, and it is… Continue reading Fish Tacos with Avocado Cream

Instead we got the value-add out of the dinner by splurging on an absolutely… Continue reading Steak and Potatoes
Sweet Potato Buttermilk Dinner Rolls

Easy to Make Twice Baked Potatoes
Generally speaking we eat “healthy” low fat meals during the week and throw caution to the wind in a butter-animal-vegetable fat smorgasbord kind of way on the weekends. That said, I am a firm believer that cooks resort far too often to the addition of extraneous fats to carry their flavor(less) meal compositions into the… Continue reading Easy to Make Twice Baked Potatoes
