I saw this on food t.v. and it looked delicious and easy, especially if you like rice pudding which we do. I halved the recipe being that there was only two of us and had to improvise a little with the ingredients. I had leftover Italian white chocolates from a Christmas box, so that's what I used instead of white chocolate chips. What I used tonight:
Cooking is my hobby and I love it. It relieves my stress. I use recipes as a base line...I find a few and compare. Then I make my own personal concoction from what I've learned. This blog has become my personal cooking journal. It helps me remember what I've made/liked and didn't. But mostly, this is for my son. I hope he makes some of these dishes one day...One of the nicest things he's said to me is that he's never had a bad meal with me, at home or at a restaurant (research wins!).

No-Knead Bread
I saw this on the news. I decided it was time to make bread! I've never done it other than loaves like banana bread. It was time for this experiment. I used my enamel coated cast iron Dutch oven. It is big (12 ") so I doubled the recipe. Thanks to Amazon, I was able to order a 10" banneton proofing basket for next day delivery. I rinsed/dried it and coated it with rice flour and whole wheat flour when it arrived. What I used and did:

Caci-Oat Pepe
I saw this on food t.v. and knew I had to give it a try for the next brunch. Plus I admire chef Michael Voltaggio and wanted to try his recipe as I thought it was ingenious. He made avocado toast pizza too! I added an over-easy egg to each dish, bacon on the side and fresh raspberries to complete plating. What I used:

Quesadilla Panini
I saw this viral "Tik Tok" idea pass by on Social Media so I decided to give it a try for lunch today. The idea is to make 4 quarters of fillings and fold it over clockwise to to make a compact, layered "sandwich" of sorts... I did see in the comments field someone said, "I have an easier way to do this. Fold it like a burrito and done!" That made me laugh and true enough...

Bison Sausages with Onions & Peppers
I took sausages out of the freezer this morning and this is what I came up with for dinner. I would have loved to serve this on baguettes, had I had them...
