Classic White Bread

May 10, 2013 by Cate 9 Comments

I love making bread. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing a beautiful loaf of freshly baked bread on your counter. And the smell in your house is just unreal. I am definitely a fan of quick recipes at times, like my english muffin bread, but when I have more time on the weekends I like to bake bread. It takes a lot of waiting time, but the end result is so worth it. TheBetterHalf is a huge fan of plain ol’ white bread, so I decided to bake him some last weekend. Just a classic white sandwich loaf. This recipe fit the bill perfectly! It is light and fluffy, but still hearty enough to withstand a giant sandwich. I garnished one with sesame seeds and kept one plain. If you have some extra time on your hands this weekend, I would definitely recommend making this gorgeous loaf of classic white bread. It would make a great mother’s day gift!
Happy mother’s day, Mom!

Cheddar Bay Biscuits

May 9, 2013 by Cate 13 Comments

I have never been to Red Lobster, but I have heard of their famous Cheddar Bay Biscuits. So when I came across this recipe, I had to try it. TheBetterHalf and I are huge biscuit fans, so I’m always excited about a new biscuit recipe! And with cheddar and spices stirred into a buttermilk dough – how could this not be delicious! …

Blueberry and Jam Buttermilk Coffee Cake

May 6, 2013 by Cate 20 Comments

This weekend, I managed to bake something that TheBetterHalf liked more than I did! Now don’t get me wrong, I loved this coffee cake – as long as butter and sugar are the two main ingredients in a recipe, I am a fan – but TheBetterHalf is a little more discerning. So when he started raving about this cake, I knew it must be good! I had some leftover buttermilk to use (this seems to be a theme in my kitchen, always using up leftover buttermilk like here and here) so I decided to whip up a coffee cake for breakfast on Saturday morning. In just about an hour, I had this delicious cake ready for us to devour! It was so good – very moist, and studded with so many fresh blueberries! The glaze is optional on this cake. I thought the cake was sweet enough without it. TheBetterHalf really liked the addition of the glaze. So if you are in a glaze mood, go for it! And if not, this cake would be delicious on its own. You could top it with a dusting of powdered sugar for a little decoration. …

Chewy Chocolate Cookies

May 3, 2013 by Cate 15 Comments

Chewy chocolate cookies. The name alone says it all – these cookies are to die for. They have quickly made my list of top 5 favorite cookie recipes. That is no small feat, because I am kind of a cookie addict. They are rich and chocolaty from the cocoa powder and the chopped bittersweet chocolate. If you are a chocoholic, you will love this recipe! It is the kind of cookie that just begs for a glass of milk. The dark corn syrup contributes to the most amazing chewy texture. I definitely think you should add this cookie to your weekend baking lineup! Ok, I realize that most normal people probably don’t have a weekend baking lineup. So just add it to your recipe list for the next time you want an amazing chocolaty cookie!…

Red Velvet Cupcakes

May 2, 2013 by Cate 13 Comments

I can’t believe it has taken me so long to make an Ina Garten recipe for the blog! I love the Barefoot Contessa. I dream about having her house in the Hamptons, but I’ll have to settle with watching it from my one bedroom in NYC and reading her cookbooks. I seriously want to make everything from her cookbooks. I decided on Red Velvet cupcakes because I know they are a crowd pleaser! I personally don’t understand the fuss about red velvet. They just never taste chocolatey enough to me! But I do love cream cheese frosting. And I can’t only bake things with peanut butter and chocolate, so Red Velvet it is! This is a great recipe too. The cupcakes are moist with a hint of chocolate flavor, and the cream cheese frosting on top is SO good. I must say though, as much as I love Ina, why does she bake with extra-large eggs? Every other baking recipe calls for large eggs! But I trust her, so I bought extra-large eggs just to make these. …
