Oh Snap!

Annnnd...after a much-too-long hiatus, I'm back!!  And the heavens rejoiced (or something...)
I'm hosting Easter dinner today so I figured it was the perfect time to get back into my food blog...I'll save the full shebang for tomorrow but here's a quick preview of what I worked on yesterday.

Another epic battle with yeast!  But I'm pretty sure I'm kicking its ass.  I made braided egg bread and kolaches (cherry and apricot...attempting to recreate the delicious ones from my childhood - the amazing cooks used to make homemade kolaches in our school cafeteria every so often, delicious!)  I dropped one pan on the floor after the second rising, luckily there were only 5 casualties otherwise I'm pretty sure I would have thrown a tantrum on the floor like my 2.5 year old does.

Hard at work on kolaches:


And, some before-and-after of the final products:



Easter is delightful.  Life is good :)

  1. That bread looks to DIE for. Seething in jealousy over here.
