Roasted Tomatoes with Rustic Breadcrumbs Recipe

Roasted Tomatoes with Rustic Breadcrumbs

Lemony & Umami

An amazing way to utilize that half-eaten day-old sourdough loaf you have sitting on your counter. Torn into rough chunk and toasted, the bread becomes the perfect sponge for summer tomatoes picked at their peak. The contrast of lemon zest and anchovies round out the dish and will keep you coming back for more.

Grilled Cheese with Blackberry Jam

Ok, calling this a recipe is a stretch. I acknowledge that. But! The contrast of gooey hot swiss cheese, salty bacon, spicy jalapenos, and acidic sweet blackberry jam - it is a killer combination.

Sourdough Starter Crackers

Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread Recipe

Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread

All cornbread is authentic—as long as it’s good, served hot, and made with love.

A happy childhood memory of the morning light streaming in through the kitchen window. Woken up by the smell of something delicious baking, I stumbled barefoot and butt-ass naked to the kitchen. My momma handed me a little slice of cornbread hot from the oven with a pat of butter and some honey drizzled on top. Happiness.

The No-Knead Sandwich Bread Recipe

No Knead Sandwich Bread

No-Knead Sandwich Bread

Flour + Yeast + Salt & Time.

I know you have probably heard of Mark Bittman’s No-Knead Bread recipe. It makes a great loaf, and for many people, the recipe revolutionized their beliefs about the quality of bread they could produce at home. With one loaf, they understood that they too, the home baker, could make beautifully crusted bread with an open crumb, at home, in their own oven. I love it.
