I know this is the baking thread, BUT...has anyone else here tried a variety of good quality cheeses? In the past few months, I've stumbled upon a bit of a hobby with watching and reading into the processes for making many different real cheeses (not the over processed stuff we usually get). We...
I know there is always lots of baking going on here, but I wanted to share as I am proud for finally stepping out of my shell and trying new things. My husband and I want to try having an at home "fancy" date night once a month pairing new foods we haven't really tried before, and it actually...
Tonight's menu at the Garden of Olives (LOL) is:
- Fettuccine with homemade Alfredo Sauce
- Copycat breadsticks (from that place that's SUPER famous for breadsticks hah)
Will post a picture later on of how it looks all together. I was so sick and tired of buying "alfredo" in a jar at the...
@topochico225 - sending you all well wishes and positive thoughts. Are you in an area where someone can deliver doorstep food and groceries and leave it so you don’t have to cook or travel while sick, to save you some trouble and make it easier to get things and eat? I hope you all get better soon
Here is the Rosemary Focaccia recipe for try number 3 and here are some learning tips. Firstly, I knead by hand, so I mix in a large bowl. I, with not many supplies, then flour a metal pizza pan and knead the dough on that. I spread olive oil in the large bowl and transfer back for first rise. I...

Made this recipe today with success, didn't have time for a photo because it was GONE! Ate it paired with homemade chicken noodle soup. I had to knead by hand and it stayed slightly sticky so I had a hard time...

Hi bakers dozen (or perhaps many many more who frequent the thread!) I haven't visited in some time. I recently got into wanting to try my hand at bread making, and after learning more I finally made my first successful bread using this "bread in a bag" recipe - the times I tried in the past...
Good morning and happy Thanksgiving all. No photos of my pecan pie I made ahead of time a few days ago. Cheese ball made yesterday evening is ready to go and hopefully looks enough like a little turkey! Green bean casserole to go soon. Then everyone combines their dishes and we have a nice big...
Thank you so much for all the recommendations on the mixer, it definitely lets me know what brand I am going with. I'm a comparison shopper for sure, and color wouldn't matter to me, so I'll be keeping my eye out for a nice deal on a KitchenAid. Thank you so much
@topochico225 - what size/qts is yours? Definitely more of the brand I trust for kitchenware. I can't imagine actually getting one, I was stoked just to get little cooling racks for cookies and to get a little mini food chopper/processor a few years ago.
I'd love some recommendations here from anyone who has a stand mixer, or has recently purchased one. I've been mixing cakes for years with a little electric hand mixer, but tonight the poor little mixer gave out on me. I've been wanting a stand mixer, but I just would love some input onto a good...
Anyone have experience with a French toast casserole bake? Found a recipe but looking for some tips before I make it on whether I should stick to regular French toast or give it a try. The girls started laying again and it’s time to put eggs to good use!
