Orange Cinnamon Morning Rolls & Maple Kumquat Preserves

It is a new week and I am excited to continue along with the Brave New Meal cookbook and get back on track with a good recipe. Today I made the orange cinnamon morning rolls. Because my last yeast dough experience went quite well with the blueberry thyme marble rolls (link here) I was excited…

Blueberry Thyme Marble Rolls

Bread. I love to eat it but I do not have that much experience making it. Today’s recipe is these blueberry thyme rolls which isn’t a bread per se but it’s still involves a yeast dough so that’s close enough for me. I think the main reason I don’t usually make bread is because of…

Homemade Pizza

Apparently it is National Cheese Pizza Day on Sunday (September 5). I don’t need much of a reason to eat pizza, but obviously I had to celebrate this special day. I thought about making cheese pizza but I didn’t want plain cheese pizza. I like having toppings, so that’s what I did. I definitely had…

“Famous” Brown Bread (Cheesecake Factory copycat)

Is there anything better than freshly baked bread? Few things. Okay, well maybe there are lots of things. But freshly baked bread is definitely up there on the list. I bought a whole pound of yeast at the store (it was a good price) so there is a high chance you will see more breads/other…

Jam Rolls

This was more of an unplanned post but I had to share it here. So in my last post, I made challah (link here). It was great and delicious and everything I hoped for. But I had quite a bit of dough to use up and I wanted to make something sweet. At first I…

Seedy Bagels

After making cinnamon rolls earlier this week (link here), I wanted to see what other things I could make with a similar quick dough. Bagels have also been on my baking wish list, so I was thrilled to find a recipe online (link here). This dough was greek yogurt, flour, salt and baking soda. It…

Apple Cinnamon Rolls

I just want to start by saying Happy Victoria Day to my fellow Canadians! Hope you are out there relaxing and enjoying the time with you families 🙂 *** There is something so magical about cinnamon rolls. The best part has to be the nugget in the very middle of it, so I always save…

Recipe #74: Crispy Kale Pizza with Marinara Sauce

I’m continuing the final stretch of cooking with this kale pizza. I’ve never thought of putting kale on a pizza, but it works surprisingly well. Combining delicious cheese pizza with crispy kale chips, which are both good on their own, somehow taste better together. This pizza uses the same dough as the heirloom tomato pesto…

Potato Knishes

I’ve made these once in my life (around 10 years ago). My grandma taught me how to make them and for some reason, I haven’t made them since. But I finally made them on the weekend and I’m sure she would be proud of me – she passed away a couple years ago. If you…
