Ahhh, more snow.


God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.


I obviously cannot change the fact that it is snowing, even though I am completely ready to see my daffodils peeking their heads through the cold earth.  I am going to choose to use a bit of wisdom to recognize the "difference", quit my whining, smile, and......bake bread. :)

10- Grain Sandwich Bread,

made with 10-grain cereal and a little left over mashed potato for a nice moist crumb.  It also has pumpkin seed, raw sunflower seeds and flax seeds mixed in.  It is really good toasted. Trust me.

Rosemary Potato Bread


I wish you were in my kitchen and could smell this. Fresh rosemary gently perfumes the entire loaf.  I also used biga, a starter, that adds a wonderful depth to the flavor.  It is amazing fresh out of the oven with its nice crispy crust (not the kind that rips up the roof of your mouth).  I brushed it with a little olive oil right before putting it in to bake and voilà!


While I am enjoying my snowy day I might as well dig in and celebrate Fat Tuesday!

Pralines anyone?

Sweet salty yumminess wrapped around whole pecans.


Jumbalya for dinner. Bring your mask and beads!
