Cardamom Bread

I’ve had so much fun sharing bread recipes with you, courtesy of my husband.  This cardamom bread absolutely had to make the list because it’s my all time favorite sweet bread!  Now, I leave you in good hands with my hubby… This bread is a college flashback for me.  If I recall the story correctly, my roommate had to make something to eat for a class of his.  He remembered this bread from his childhood and asked his mom for the recipe.  After a bit of grocery shopping and trying to find a dorm room with access to an oven, …

Garlic Chicken Pizza

After a very busy few months, my husband and I finally found ourselves with no plans on a random Sunday.  Let’s make homemade pizza!  It’s the ultimate comfort food.  Snowy and cold weather = craving for comfort food.  Plus it’s the perfect way to slow down and spend quality time together.  We have a lot of fun in the kitchen and we get awesome pizza out of the deal. Not too shabby.     😉 The creation of this delicious garlic chicken pizza goes back a few years.  Many years ago my husband worked in New Haven (a town famous …

Pizza Dough

Back by popular demand, my husband returns with another post from Dave’s Bread Corner… Like most people, when I think of pizza I think of some sort of fresh pie at a local pizzeria.  Who can’t claim to love the chewy crust and melty cheese of a slice that’s only managed to cool enough to avoid serious damage to your mouth?  There must be some magic secret that pizza shop chefs know that no one else can reproduce right?  Well, I certainly thought so. I’ve had the pizza dough you buy in the tube.  I’ve had the kind many grocery …

French Toast

Ah, February… the most romantic month of the year.  I think romance comes in many forms. Perhaps it comes when your partner does a household chore, randomly, when it’s typically your responsibility.  Maybe it’s when your best friend, who lives a few hours away, sends you a text saying they miss you.  It’s not always about chocolate and flowers (although don’t get me wrong, I love that too). I’m the one who makes 98% of the meals in our home so for me, so when my husband voluntarily makes breakfast on the weekend, I feel like I’ve been swept off …

Italian Bread

This is the first bread post by my husband.  He jokingly referred to this as Dave’s Bread Corner, but admitted that he wasn’t really interested in making his own “wing” on my blog.  What this means to you is that bread with yeast and other things that could make it scary to make or otherwise super complicated are now possible.  In other words, you guys get a different variety of recipes that fall outside my comfort zone, my husband gets an audience and an excuse to make bread, and I get “free” posts that I didn’t have to cook (although …
