Throwback Thursday - “Baking Yesteryear”

 January 16... "Throwback Thursday"

We have been having so much fun reminiscing over our favorite childhood recipes as we browse through our new "Baking Yesteryear" cookbook, by B. Dylan Hollis. (Such a funny dude, we love his videos) 

Anyway, we thought today would be a great day to share with you all our two bakes so far for the month. 

We chose "Continental Johnny Cake" (corn bread) on page 78 and "Wacky Cake" on page 104. Both turned out fantastic. You will notice that the corn bread may look a little dark speckled in color, that was because we mixed yellow cornmeal and blue cornmeal together. 

TWD: “Tender Biscuits”

 January 14…. TWD: “Tuesday’s With Dorie”

I have missed baking with the group that bakes with and from Dorie Greenspan’s cookbooks, so I decided to catch back up with everyone this year. 

Today, they were baking “Tender Biscuits” found on page 42 in Dorie’s newest cookbook titled “Baking With Dorie: Sweet, Salty, & Simple”. 

I had to laugh at this year’s kickoff recipe because “tender” is not the word I would ever use to describe my biscuits… lol BUT!!! My hubby makes the best biscuits ever and almost every Sunday I wake up too amazing Biscuits & Gravy at my bedside. 💝

Pork Chops & Applesauce

 January 10... "Fruit-Full Friday"

A few weeks ago the video came acrossed my news feed and I was intrigued.  Here is the link... https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1BCnfsCXXm/?mibextid=WooXLz

For my one-hit wonder, I basically followed the recipe, lol... only using pork ribs instead of pork chops, Fresh Tri-colored potatoes and garlic instead of carrots and cinnamon, mixing mushrooms and onions in with my green beans instead of soup. 

The whole thing was actually very tasty, we would make it again... 😁
