EK was complaining again that the refrigerator is overloaded. There is way more food than the two of us could eat before they have to be thrown out 😬. I needed to salvage the blueberries before they are moldy. There are also two sad-looking overripe bananas in the fruit bowl …. out came a blueberry banana bread. Our breakfast for Read More

I am a fan of bread pudding. If it is on the menu, you can bet that I’ll be having pudding for dessert. My favorite is Baked French Toast for breakfast. The sweet, spongy, custard-like texture just appeals to my tastebuds. I bought two loaves of French Bread from Costco last week. I found another pudding recipe in my favorite Read More

I used to buy frozen garlic bread whenever we have spaghetti at home until I discovered a homemade garlic bread recipe. There is no going back to frozen garlic bread once I tried this recipe.

The Oracle Bakery has been tempting me every Thursday with their Artisan Bread Order reminder email. I finally succumbed to temptation this week and ordered a loaf of Cinnamon Raisin Challah. The note says “Perfect for making weekend French Toast”. It reminds me of the Baked French Toast recipe that I have not touched for more than a year. It’s decadent to have Read More
Don’t the buns look delicious? I had always thought we can only get fresh hot buns in the restaurants, but we can do it at home too, if we care to try. Bought a Bread cook book years ago for $5.99 from a clearance bookshelf and I have only flipped through it all these years; it looks too hard to Read More

The aroma of banana when it is baking the oven is irresistible; the bread is best served warm when the texture is soft and moist. I have tripled Read More
