Dutch oven. 400F for 40 minutes. Cover on all the time. Parchment paper. I have a whole routine that starts the day before. It's a big deal to make, but it lasts me for at least a week (just me). I MUST have it with my eggs.

Ok, here’s my bread contribution for the week. Yesterday I saw we had 3 bananas starting to really get ripe. A banana bread that is already half gone, and a new one for me, spelt einkorn, and kamut waffles!

Id like to make those McDonald’s McGriddle buns/pancakes. I’m sure it’s just a substitute of maple syrup for sugar and buttermilk. I’ll try it sometime.

Smoked Pork loin was on the menu tonight. We can get 3-4 meals out of that much pork. We will do a stroganoff later. This week a pork cubano sandwiches. Anything left will go into a fajita mix.

Ribs happened to be on sale. The smoker was hot. They will be finished in the oven later this week! No after photos. Sorry 😞

Well, jumped back into baking full bore today. I started by grinding the berries for a loaf of rye. While it was rising the kid came home and we decided to make pizza tonight.

I didn’t have any dough frozen. I asked her if we should try a rye pizza crust. She was game to try it so I cut a third off the dough and rolled it out. She made the pizza on top of it. It came out pretty well, we would have liked a crispier crust. Interesting flavor though.

The rest of the dough went in the oven next and made 2 small rye loafs. I always split a little off and make my aunt some. It gives me an excuse to check in on her. We normally can’t finish a whole loaf anyway.

I mixed up a regular loaf of dough to split into regular pizza dough for the freezer. It’s a quick and easy thaw and bake. The alarm should be going off soon to tell me it’s time to bag it and toss it in the freezer.

Oh, I guess on Thursday I got back in with a load of waffles. They’re almost gone. They’ll probably be finished tomorrow morning.

I cooked a new recipe for fish tonight. The main part of our meal was tabbouleh, but I had some tilapia in the freezer that I thawed today. I decided to try a crispy breaded fish to make it a little more appealing to the younger children, and it was a hit.


I used this recipe but did not use club soda but just eight ounces of plain water. I also used just a thick layer of oil in my pan rather than deep frying. It still turned out quite well, though I probably should have cooked in batches rather than filling my pan. I think I'll be making the recipe again, and I'll need to remember that.
