Povitica
Julie | October 27, 2011
The October 2011 Daring Bakers challenge was an unusual filled holiday bread called povitica; I made two gorgeous loaves filled with apples, walnuts and cinnamon.
Brioche Swirls
Julie | November 19, 2010
Whole grain brioche dough baked two ways: a simple cinnamon swirl and a slightly more elaborate streusel-topped apple swirl. A nice change of pace from muffins for breakfast!
Two Bits
Julie | October 8, 2010
Shave and a haircut… This simple pasta highlights finely shaved Brussels sprouts with the addition of nuts, brown butter and Parmesan cheese, and is a great way to ease picky eaters into a fearsome vegetable.
Get Out Your Shaking Stick
Julie | August 30, 2010
A beautiful bevy of breakfast muffins, from beet-chocolate chip to nibby raspberry to sourdough apple, with a few egg-free, veganizable offerings thrown in for good measure.
Filling in the Gaps
Julie | January 24, 2010
This is a summary post overviewing the meals and baked goods I made over the holidays, concluding with the highlight of my father making ebelskivers.
Do You Have the Chops?
Julie | July 1, 2009
A basic lamb chop recipe livened up with sun-dried tomato compound butter; the latter can also be tossed with pasta, peas, and feta cheese for an easy side.
Zippy Muffins
Julie | January 27, 2009
Z-P (zucchini-prune) muffins are a big hit with my son, and his parents too! Tender shreds of zucchini add moisture to a spicy whole wheat muffin, while walnuts and prunes provide depth and textural interest.
Lavash There, Me Hearties!
Julie | September 27, 2008
The September 2008 Daring Bakers challenge featured crunchy lavash crackers, decorated with Middle Eastern spices and sesame seeds. I served mine at a going-away party with muhammara, a roasted-red pepper dip thickened with walnuts and bread crumbs.
I’m Not Crazy
Julie | August 10, 2008
This simple pureed lentil soup gets just the right touch of depth and richness from a garnish of ricotta cheese mixed with garlic and pulverized walnuts.
