Hubby and I were heading out to a book discussion group Sunday and I thought it would be nice to take something to eat. And what better to eat while discussing The New Earth by Eckhart Tolle than chocolate chip cookies?
These chocolate chip cookies come from the Deceptively Delicious Cookbook by Jessica Seinfeld. I bought [...]

Our blackberries are coming on fast and furious now! What to do with all of this fruit? Well, the first thing I make is a cobbler. In case you are just joining us, here is my recipe.
Then there are blackberry smoothies. Recipe here.
Then there is Blackberry Syrup. Recipe Here.

One of our challenges this week was to make either bread or muffins from the Whole Wheat Mixed Berry Bread recipe in HB in Five.
Even though we are knee deep in blackberries, I wanted to follow the directions and use frozen berries. I used some of our blackberries from last year’s crop.
Some might object to [...]
It’s cherry pickin’ time

Yes, we have cherries! Yeah! I get so excited about these tart cherries. They’re pretty and so yummy!
So now that we have these cherries, what do we do? Make a cobbler, of course. I use the same recipe for the cherries as I do with my blackberries except I add a little vanilla. This recipe [...]
Well, asparagus harvesting is now just a memory. Today I got out early before the heat and weeded about a third of the asparagus patch. Won’t be long and the whole patch will be a mass of ferns. I just love that look. However, right now, it’s just a little bare and not really much [...]

This uses the master recipe dough from this book. I didn’t have black sesame seeds so I used regular sesame and poppy seeds.
Here is a closer look at the crumb.
I was expecting a pita which is much thinner. This turned out with a nice crumb [...]
This week, one of the baking challenges involved the Chocolate Espresso Whole Wheat Brioche dough. I just couldn’t resist making cupcakes!
I didn’t have bittersweet chocolate so I substituted semisweet chocolate chips. Well, I asked my expert taste tester and head chef Dave what he thought about this recipe. He agreed with me that this is [...]
HB in Five – Olive Spelt and Carrot Bread
Posted in Baking, HBinFive, Recipes, tutorials on Apr 1st, 2010
This week our HB in Five Bread Challenge included two great recipes: Olive Spelt Bread and Carrot Bread.
The first bread I tackled was the Olive Spelt, which I made into buns. This recipe calls for twice the amount of spelt to unbleached all purpose flour. If you are not familiar with spelt flour, it’s an [...]
This week for our HB in Five Bread Challenge we made two great breads – Avocado-Guacamole Bread and Pesto Pine Nut Bread.
Both of these were great breads – easy and fun to make. Unlike the others in the group, I have just been making buns because that’s what we like to eat with soup, salads [...]
On my last post I talked about how blessed we are with blackberries. I will be making that Blackberry Syrup in the next couple of weeks, but just thinking about that made me hungry for Blackberry Cobbler. So I made one yesterday.
The recipe comes from one of my old cookbooks. This cobbler is simple and [...]
