Overnight Cinnamon Rolls

I love cinnamon rolls. They are one of my favorite specialty breakfasts. Special occasion food. Birthdays, Easter, just becauses. The problem with cinnamon rolls  is that most times they are very dry. Also, as much as I love AB's science his baked goods recipes are often lacking. So, it was with some trepidation that I attempted these.

Building a Better Pizza - The Crust

The crust is to a pizza as a foundation is to a house. If your foundation is faulty, no matter how much care you put into the rest of the building, it will suffer from a weak foundation. The same is true for the crust of your pizza. I'm not necessarily referring to the crust's ability to hold the pizza together. I'm a huge fan of the thin style of crust associated with a New York-style crust. And that definitely is not 'sturdy' in terms of stability.

Anadama Bread

A few years back I received Baking Illustrated. This was around the time I was really starting to get into baking. There was a recipe for Anadama bread that caught my eye. The story behind how this bread got it's name intrigued me enough to try it. It instantly became a favorite.

Building A Better Pizza

I am a huge fan of pizza. Working for various pizza joints in my younger years didn't cause my love to wane. In point of fact, it only intensified my love of pizza, the edible plate of food that it is. And I want to look at why we love this disc of deliciousness and how to make our own best version.

Ultimate...Black Bean Burgers

While I don't miss meat as much as I thought I would, I do crave a burger from time to time. Like I've said in other posts, I've not given up meat altogether. But I have been looking for healthy, or at least healthier, options.

Falafel Ain't Awful

I've heard falafel mentioned in many a movie or TV show. Usually set in New York. But I'd never tried it. Never had a desire to try it. Until recently.

Chocolate Chip Cookies: The Thin


Chocolate Chip Cookies have always been my favorite cookie. Ever. I prefer my chocolate chip cookie to be thin, crispy on the edges and chewy in the center.

The Ultimate Waffle

There is no redeeming healthfulness to this recipe. That said, this is, by far, my favorite. Gleaned from trying different recipes and gathering the best parts.
