Bread Recipes With a Bread Machine (or Without): Reconnect With Your Roots

It may be because most of the country is on lock down right now … and you can only stare at the same four walls for so long … but I prefer to think that the reason “bread recipes with a bread machine” is a hot topic right now is that people are just taking more interest in bread making. Either way, it’s wonderful to think of all the new bread makers out there. You’re going to love it — and…

10 Utterly Delicious Things to Make With Oatmeal
So you stocked up on all your pantry essentials, and just for good measure you went ahead and bought the BIG bag of oats — the 20 pounder. (Or maybe you were a little more conservative and just bought four pounds worth.) And you’re proud of yourself for being so prepared. You’re all, “Bring on winter!” (or a quarantine!) because you are prepared! But … you can only eat so many bowls of the usual stuff … oats, milk, maybe a little brown sugar. Sure, you can mix it up a bit and put the brown sugar on before the milk … but still and all, it’s going to get…

Branapple-Carrot Muffins
These are my favorite muffins. Ever. And I owe the recipe to my friend, Robin Isaacson. Actually, in those early years of my marriage, a whole bunch of what I made in the kitchen was due to Robin, and her delightful willingness share her recipes with me. I’ve had two of Robin’s Americana recipe cards with this recipe written down. The first one fell behind the stove in our mobile home in 2000, and I kept meaning to get Dave to pull the stove out so I could retrieve it. But a few months later, when we were getting ready to build our house, we gave the mobile home to…

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
Eight speckled bananas pretty much demanded that I deal with them over the weekend. I almost made my usual Better-Than-Banana Bread, but I had just been looking through my bulging purple file of old favorites and found one I used to make a long time ago. So I made two batches (four loaf pans total) of the old recipe and gave two away, just because it’s a sad situation when you and your husband can go through a loaf in an hour. Let’s get that temptation out of the house. This recipe doesn’t make a tall bread or a pretty bread, but it makes up for that in flavor. I…

Herbed Plantain Crackers (AIP, Paleo)
I’m in my third week of the Auto-immune Protocol diet (AIP) based on the Paleo way of eating. Probably the easiest “diet” I’ve ever been on. Besides having more energy and feeling happy that I’m putting nothing processed or inflammation-causing in my body, I’ve also not been hungry once. The only longing I’ve had has been for something “crisp,” so I was very, very happy when I found and tried The Paleo Mom’s recipe for Plantain Crackers. The first time, I made them exactly as written. But I’ve fiddled with them a little to get the flavor and crispness I like. Here’s my version: [amd-zlrecipe-recipe:20]
