Let’s talk about pizza, shall we? Detroit-style pizza to be exact. Well ok, really we’re going to have a quick sorta broader discussion about pizza too. Because, pizza, what is not to love, amiright?! Detroit-style pizza, if you have not heard of it, is a pan style, a deeper pan style. It’s a rectangle or […]
You’re probably wondering, hey Becky, c’mon, you already gave us a buttermilk biscuits related recipe, what the….why this one too? I will tell you why. Because this recipe is written to be solely a plain Buttermilk Biscuit. No fancy-schmancy extras like the Cheese (Bacon and Scallion) ones. It matters. You laugh, I know; there are […]
I always kinda feel like when I share one buttermilk recipe, I oughtta share another right after so you have the opportunity to use up an ingredient that’s at times tricky to use up. Unless you doubled up on those Cheese Buttermilk Biscuits….which uh yeah, you should. Hey, if I’m gonna make you buy an […]
Buttermilk biscuits. Cheese Buttermilk Biscuits. Ahhhh…. Those words that conjure up all sorts a’ warm happy thoughts and feelings, yeah? I mean, who doesn’t drool endlessly over a fresh-from-the-oven biscuit?! I know, I have a bucket next to me as I write this knowing full well…slobber slobber. And then, add some cheeeeeese? Whoa. Jeez […]
When the weather starts to change at the end of summer, I start hankering for soul-satisfying, hearty, warm, fill-all-your-corners meals like thick soups, stews, and pot pie (which, let’s be honest here, is essentially soup inside a pie shell and to whoever the genius was who created pot pies…THANK YOU). Soups are a staple dinner […]
When I was a kid, my mom would make the Jiffy box muffins* and we all loved them. We were always excited when she made them, they were special. My dad and I would pour maple syrup over those warm cornbread muffins and shovel ‘em in. What?!, maple syrup, that’s weird and/or gross, you’re thinking. […]
Ah, pizza. Pizza is a, well, I mean, you already know it’s a, a thing in Chicago. It’s a heated topic of discussion locally and nationally. It’s an intensely divisive topic here in town. Similar to arguments over who has the best Italian beef or the best hot dog but more so. I’ll let you […]
Quiche is one of my absolute FAVORITE things, and as far as I’m concerned, it’s the perfect food—chock full of protein, fully customizable to your particular tastes, and ridiculously easy. Like why-don’t-I-just-make-this-every-week easy. I mean, you make a pie crust (or buy one, that’s totally okay), prebake it, mix together eggs, milk, cheese, and what-have-you, […]
A-what now? I know, Savory Oatmeal Cookies, this sounds freaky and weird but hold that thought. Before we roll on the cookies though, be sure to read Jen’s most recent post. My heart is broken in a zillion pieces for her and her family; I’m at a loss for words. Be sure to send her some […]
Ya know, one of the bestest things about this spiffy baking blog of ours is that I finally have an excuse to rip-roar through the myriad of goodies I have always wanted to bake but never had a chance to. Now I do. Woot! So thank you! Thank you for being here! Then, eeerrrrtttt, I […]
