pesto bacon pizza
There is one place in town that makes pizza and I used to think it was good until I realized that it’s not that difficult (and much cheaper) to make pizza myself. The main problem with the restaurant’s pizza is that they use ketchup for pizza sauce and that’s just wrong! Their crust could use a little work too.
I use this amount of crust for 1 medium pizza, but it could be made into 2 smaller pizzas as well. I like the thick chewiness of this crust. (more…)

Our British friends invited us to “high tea” and asked us to bring something appropriate for a tea, so I made these. I tried a recipe I found here, but the texture of the dough wasn’t right. I altered the recipe and made another batch before the tea. I love how apple and chedder taste together. I’ll definitely make these scones again. (more…)

This is my mom’s cornbread recipe (except she uses shortening instead of oil). I love cornbread. It’s great with soup, for breakfast, or as dessert with syrup over it. This recipe is not too sweet and has a solid texture. (more…)

Something like a peach is in season right now. It doesn’t look like a peach very much because it’s greenish on the outside and pale green on the inside. I think it’s just that no one lets them get at ripe as we would like them. It’s okay if you use them in baking though – they turn orange and taste peachy! I might even like them better than a normal peach in baking because they have a nice tartness to them like a green apples does. This galette was delicious, but I don’t have the proportion of crust to fruit right yet (too much crust). So I’m going to try this again with apples and then post the new and improved recipe!

Did you know it’s possible to make crackers at home? It’s not even that hard and only uses basic ingredients. Crackers here are imported, expensive, and not even that good, so I gave this recipe a try and it worked out really well. I’ll definitely do it again! They’re similar to Wheat Thins and you can adjust the baking time depending on how crispy and toasty you prefer your crackers. You can sprinkle them with spices too, like I did in the picture above.
