Soft Pull Apart Rolls
I have a soft spot for homemade bread. No, I’m not talking about that location in my stomach, right around my belly button… Although baking often doesn’t help that spot, either. I used to be intimidated by homemade breads. I’d … Continue reading
Roasted Butternut Squash Soup with Sage Brown Butter

Once upon a time my sister had to define “eating pants” as we discussed her Thanksgiving menu versus my vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner plans. We talked about mashed potatoes, turkey, Tofurky, Field Roast artisan veggie roasts, green beans, buttery rolls, pies … Continue reading
