99% of the time, homemade goodies beat store bought. I say 99% of the time because there are a few things that just can’t be replicated at home like Oreos, however tasty the homemade varieties may be, they’re just different. Bread though is always tastier when homemade. It’s been awhile since I’ve baked any bread and [...]

I love me some good cornbread, especially some fluffy sweet cornbread… the sweeter the better! But if I’m not going for some sweet cornbread, I love me some spice — green chiles or jalapenos; they’re both delicious. My grandmother has been making jalapeno cornbread for as long as I can remember and it always makes [...]

Homemade burger buns is one of those things that I never thought I’d make at home when I first started blogging (like pita bread). It just wasn’t on my radar at all. I know I have readers who are reading this post and thinking “yea right, I’m gonna make hamburger buns??” I know some of [...]

Its that time of year! Zucchini overload! We don’t have any zucchini planted but our friends/neighbors do and we’ve already gotten a few good large zucchinis from them. So of course I whipped up some Zucchini bread! I love love love zucchini bread. I can still remember the first time my mom made zucchini bread [...]

Pita bread. Its one of those things when I started blogging that I never imagined I’d make myself. But now its one of those things I can’t imagine ever buying again! Homemade bread is always better than store bought, but seriously — fresh, piping hot pita bread can’t be beat! The directions say let cool?? [...]

Homemade bread. Its truly one of the most amazingly delicious foods that exists. I mean seriously, hot bread straight from the oven slathered with butter… its heaven. I’m sure I’m not the only impatient one when it comes to eating freshly baked bread (see photo below – can you see that steam?? haha.) I let [...]

I’ve never made bread from scratch before and I’ve been dying to make some, especially now that I have my Kitchen Aid mixer to assist with the work. I started digging through all my cookbooks on the prowl for a recipe and finally landed on this one. Ina’s honey white bread… can’t go wrong with [...]

New Mexico’s Hatch Green Chiles have arrived! You can’t get green chiles year around here, they’re only offered at the end of the summer and only on a limited basis for about 2 weeks. So when they do arrive, it means stocking the freezer with fresh green chiles while we can get them. If you’ve [...]
