Michelle Life Update: *So the Broncos kicked some serious butt last night. My husband and brother were actually at the game, in most excellent seats, to see touchdown #509. In fact my husband got the big moment on video via iPhone. However, I’m not going to share it with you because I’m pretty sure the NFL…
One of Colorado’s most famous sayings is, “If you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes.” There are numerous variations on this saying, and almost everyone who lives in Colorado has said this at some point. I know it kind of sounds like an exaggeration; and if you’ve talked to a Coloradan you may have…
♫ A scone is breakfast’s best friend. Triangles or round shaped, a scone is breakfast’s best friend… ♫ (I’m envisioning this sung to the tune of diamonds are a girls best friend.) Yep I’m singing about scones. Why? Mainly because I’m a dork, but also because scones may in fact be the most perfect breakfast food in the universe,…
On Wednesday I waxed poetic on the wonders of sourdough and hopefully talked you into beginning your very own sourdough starter. Of course, if you just got started on Wednesday your starter isn’t ready for baking quite yet. However, I didn’t want to leave you without a recipe to try when it’s good to go on Day…
My husband adores sourdough bread. I’m a pretty big fan myself. I bet you are too. In a perfect world there is always a fresh baked loaf of sourdough, right out of the bakery oven, on hand and ready to make paninis, subs, french toast, or just to tear off a hunk and slather with butter. …
One of our ongoing projects here at Feed Me…I’m Hungry is our ‘World Food Tour’ where we take time to find out more about culture and food from around the world by exploring recipes, cookbooks, memoirs and more. We finished Italy a while ago but, it’s our favorite so we came back for another visit. I often…
I went on a crazy productive cleaning binge yesterday. I haven’t been keeping up with my housework and chores very well lately. I’ve been pretty busy or under the weather for the last few weeks, and just felt really behind. I’ve kept up with the important stuff of course (i.e. clean bathrooms!) But, I still…
My friends, I still have muffins on the brain. I don’t know maybe I always have muffins on the brain. I really like muffins for breakfast. Another thing that’s going on at my house is that I’m really struggling to feed my youngest son. He seems to be lactose intolerant in the extreme, perhaps even…
Those of you who just started reading may not know that my husband and I lived in North Dakota for several years while were in college. We lived in a small college town (granted it was a large town for North Dakota) called Grand Forks. The town is unique in that it is half in…
There have been muffins around the inter-webs lately my friends. Which has been making me crave: muffins! (Obviously.) Sally’s Baking Addiction had a recipe for a Master Muffin Mix; these babies were fluffy, fruit studded monsters! How can you not crave muffins after reading that kind of post? Pinch of Yum had some fine looking Blueberry…
As you may have guessed from the title I needed to take a break from Italian food to share some other topics with you. Though I and my family have eaten a lot of Italian food lately, we haven’t totally been in an Italian vacuum. I’ve cooked and baked and read about other things. One such thing,…
According to the great Marcella Hazan, widely regarded to be the foremost authority (who writes in English) on traditional Italian cooking, all authentic Italian cooking is family style. Feeding the family, the practice of home cooking, the connection found at the table, is the root and priority of all Italian cooking. Because of this there is…
I was actually pretty sick of baking after Christmas, I kind of went cRaZy and baked 12 days worth of Christmas goodies. It kind of makes you not want to look at flour, sugar, or butter for a little while. But as I predicted I am now super sick of all this healthy eating business….
Apparently the cranberry orange muffin thing has really really been done. Smitten Kitchen tells me so :) though the recipe there for cranberry orange breakfast buns looks pretty awesome. Actually I see the point on this one. I first noticed the cranberry orange thing in one of my favorite cookbooks, Sarabeth’s Bakery, and kind of…
I feel like sweet potatoes are one of the trouble makers of the Thanksgiving table for me. Honestly I’m not a giant fan of sweet potatoes in the first place so I’m sure that’s at least part of the problem. Now I’ve had other Thanksgiving dishes that I didn’t love grow on me namely…
