Apple stuffing biscuits

"Christmas is coming"

I’m back at it again with anther biscuit. This recipe has been in my head for a while. My real intention was to add some corn flour or actual cornbread and sausages and make it like an apple sausage cornbread stuffing biscuit. But I decided that I would play it safe and eliminate the sausages and cornbread. Not to mention that I am living with a vegetarian now who is the biggest foodie ever and I did not want to prevent her from devouring these biscuits. So, that other biscuit is shelved for now.

Sage chive and smoked mozzarella honey cream Biscuits

"Christmas is coming"

It’s that time again; recipes to grace your holiday table will be on the blog all November. As usual I start it off with some biscuits. Every year I tweak and make variations of my favorite easy cream biscuits. Today we are using sage, chives and smoked mozzarella.

Pumpkin sesame seed hamburger bun

Pumpkin Everythang!

 

It’s another October and time again for pumpkins.  This month get more challenging as the years go by. So I have to get very creative with what I come up with. A few months ago I made a delicious sweet potato onion hamburger bun. I decided to try my luck with the same recipe with a few more modifications and some fresh pumpkin.

Sweet potato Onion and chia seed buns

"Potato Patata" 

I am really sorry to disappoint everyone who came here thinking they would find a burger recipe. Nope its potato month remember? So what you will find here, is a really awesome recipe for a sweet potato onion bun with chia seeds.  I finally decided to do a labor intensive potato recipe, and by labor intensive I mean a recipe using yeast and flour, my two culinary enemies.

Spinach and Herb garlic bread

 M...eat...less

Yummy time again, I am the uncrowned garlic bread queen. If you didn’t know now you know. I always make really quick mini batches for dinner using left over bread ends.  This garlic bread is a little different from my usual quick ones. I added cheese and veggies to the mix just to make myself feel better about eating the whole thing.

Grilled Eggplant ricotta muffins

I have been trying to post this recipe since Friday to no avail. Finally the internet seems to be back so I post the recipe in peace.  If I know what’s good for me I should probably type up and upload Tuesdays and Fridays post to the blog as well, so in case the internet decides to hold us hostage yet again, I can use my phone to upload. But I have faith that this fate won’t come to pass; let’s get to the eggplant.  

Cheesy Ranch Biscuits:Red lobster style

"Christmas is coming"

What’s better than the bread basket that graces a dinner table before a meal? I’ve said it in prior posts that the bread basket it quite possibly my favorite part of a sit down dinner. With that said, I decided that every November I’m going to create at least one biscuit, roll or bread. This biscuit is inspired by Red Lobsters cheddar bay biscuits. They are the perfect cream biscuits, cheesy, soft, slightly herby and garlicky.

Pumpkin Garlic Knots

“Pumpkin Everythang”

Garlic knots are a staple at every pizzeria I’ve ever been to. They are almost always delicious, warm, salty and garlicky. Sometimes the garlic can be a little too harsh and sometimes they whole thing can be way too oily. So let’s take it to the kitchen and what we get is a recipe for the best garlic knots ever; sweet, salty garlicky, buttery ,everything that’s right about the world comes full circle in one bite of these.

Chocolate chip, Orange and Rosemary Corn Muffin

 "Feast of Saint Valentine"

Can you believe the first month of 2015 is over? Chocolate month flew by so fast. For the last recipe I decided to make a very flavorful  muffin, full of herb and citrus flavors. I find this muffin has something for everyone, a little grown up but kids would still enjoy it with the orange flavor and the chocolate chips.

Rosemary garlic cream biscuits

"Christmas is coming"

One thing I have always said every dinner table needs, is yummy bread. It can be a hot crossed bun, some rolls or tender flakey biscuits. For this post I opted to go with the biscuits but not just any biscuits. The easiest biscuits you will ever make in your life. None other than cream biscuits, literally three ingredients needed for the most tender, flakey and soft puffs of love. Now add some garlic and rosemary to the mix and you have got a serious addiction on your hands.

Raisin Bran Muffin with Cinnamon Streusel

Breakfast is served

In the summer of 2013 I experienced a muffin that was close to the best I’ve ever had; A raisin bran muffin in San Diego at La Costa resort. Normally I’m not a muffin kind-a-girl I'll normally choose a croissant over a muffin any day,  but for whatever reason I was in the mood for a muffin, fruit, bacon and a boiled egg that morning. The bran muffin totally blew me away with how good it was, not too sweet, juicy flavorful raisins and a yummy crunchy cinnamon topping. This is what I tried to recreate for this post, and it’s a winner!

Salmon filled Corn Muffins

Breakfast is served

I think there is something nice about fillings. Twinkies, cupcakes, doughnuts, hot pockets, tarts, egg rolls, all these foods have some form of wrapper with a filling inside. For the most part, its rare that a muffin gets a filling, and even more rare to see it filled with fish. I have made a chicken pot cornbread muffin before, but that was a mixed batter and not a filling, so I decided with this recipe that I wanted the salmon to be a surprise inside. Meet the breakfast Twinkie

Broccoli and cheese Pull apart bread....my 100th post

M...eat...less

Pull apart bread is my most recent obsession. A few weeks ago I stumbled upon a great blog called Tickling palates where I found amazing looking garlic and smoked tomato pull apart bread. I was totally inspired so much so that since then I have made three pull apart breads. The first one was a garlic and cheese bread, the second was a cinnamon raisin with orange glaze and now finally this beauty.

Cheesy garlic Pumpkin bread

"Pumpkin Everythang”

I bet you can’t name one person (who is not on a diet) that does not love a hot basket of bread or rolls or any carb. at the start of a meal. One thing I’ve always said about restaurants; your first sign of a good meal to come is the bread you are first served, it sets the tone for the meal. Oh you need some examples?

Holy Chicken pot cornbread muffins

Leftovers are a gift from god. Apparently food fairies that live in our fridge sprinkle crack on our food overnight. Its no secret I often try to cook large portions on a Sunday to allow the fairies to work their magic on Monday’s lunch. So here I was one Sunday wanting to make some chicken pot pie, but as we all know there is nothing worse than reheated crust.
