I love party food. I’m all for crafting a meal, too, but I really enjoy making anything mini. So when we had a little get together for my husband’s birthday, I knew I wanted to make something mini. My goal for this year is to challenge myself with cooking. It started with making raspberry soufflés and now I can say I have also made mini cheesecakes, without having to use a springform pan!
If there were a bad part about Thanksgiving, I think it would be all the leftovers. No matter what happens, it seems like everyone has another 4 meals out of what’s left. You can serve it as is or make turkey sandwiches. But what’s life if there is no variety?
But with just a little bit of preparation you can have some variety to your leftover meals this Thanksgiving – some spice in your life! the preparation I’m talking about is simply making some extra rolls – or just buying a package of premade crescent rolls. If you make homemade rolls – which I dream to about – just double your batch and set aside half the dough for the next day. If you’re a store bought girl – which I am – then pop open that package when you’re ready to heat up some leftovers.
Have you been intimidated by making Sour Dough bread, so never tried to make it? Well never fear. It doesn’t have to be too difficult and it is a perfect recipe to make for the upcoming holidays, and your guests will be oh-so-impressed.
I think my second love (my husband being my first of course) would have to be bread. I am being so serious right now. I adore crusty bread, soft bread, savory bread, and sweet breads…big breads, little breads…get the point? Bread is like my love language. I am currently making 15-18 loaves of sourdough bread from my house every week and selling them to friends and local folks around town. I just have this thing for watching as flour, water and yeast create something as magical and comforting as homemade bread.
So today I am sharing with you a simple and fairly quick homemade bread recipe – French bread that is. This does use yeast but it doesn’t require you to wait 3 days to bake it, and it pretty fool proof in my opinion!
