Sichuan Pepper Pork Chops with Japanese Sweet Potato and Brown Lentils

I liked seeing it trim the trees, watching it land on the window panes, and feel it touch softly on … [Read more...]
Sally Lunn
adapted from Heirloom CookingYou can use any kind of milk. I prefer half 'n half or heavy whipping cream for this bread-- seriously! It's going to be a soft bread but baked with a fatty milk (a cream) and with bread flour, not all-purpose flour, it is incredible-- especially left stale for French toast or bread pudding! I would do this for Easter morning, make … [Read more...]

Wasabi-Zucchini Chocolate Chip Breakfast Muffins
Wasabi-Zucchini Chocolate Chip Breakfast Muffins, exclusively Skirt in the Kitchen I want full color, even in my baked goods, because Spring is springing forth and it has put me in the mood. The dark green peeling left on the zucchini for when it's grated to peek through the muffin cake, the vibrant Easter-green on the wasabi peas-- then finely ground into somewhat … [Read more...]
