culinary adventures and occasional disasters
An easy bread to make at home that’s great for breakfast, snacking, or toasted sandwiches. I eat English muffins pretty much every morning, but I ran out and didn’t want to go to the store. I broke out a James Beard bread cookbook my mom gave me a few years ago. I hoped to find

We used to make fruitcake cookies every Christmas when I was little. My mom has come to visit the last several years for Christmas, and we’ve made them again every time. They’re just so good!
