The Ultimate Baking Bucket List
The things everyone should bake before they die
Page 127 I have mentioned before that I am not a big salad fan, but this is a really hearty, tasty salad. I used chicken instead of salmon, which the recipe allows – in fact, encourages. She points to the many options you have to put your own mark on this dish. I also omitted […]
Page 117 Mmmmm. Comfort food. Every cook needs a good chicken soup recipe for cold days or for common colds, and this is one works on several levels to fit the bill. This recipe has some versatility to it to be a quick meal or a “from scratch” snowy weekend activity. Since you can use […]
Page 111 Believe it or not, this Southern gal has never had ham hocks before. They do not look very appetizing but then again neither does chipped beef on toast which is very yummy. So I went into this with an open mind prepared to have all that pork flavor infused into the lentils and […]
Page 115 I love a good French Onion soup, especially in cold weather, but I will eat a bowl any day, any temp if it is well made. The flavor of this one is really good but… the thyme sprigs need to be taken out. The directions have you pull the bay leaves out but […]
Page 121 The smell of cooking seaweed reminds me of the beach – but not the sunny fun part, just the smelly dead sea life part. And that pretty much sums up the overriding flavor of this dish – dead fish. If you like sushi, you will probably love this soup. Where I come from, […]
Page 109 Soup in July, I hear you ask. Yes. It was a rainy day today so soup was on the menu. And this is a tasty soup for a weeknight as it only takes about 30 minutes if you take it seriously. Well, that and it tastes fabulous! This would likely get a higher […]
Page 125 Originally posted 5/24/2020 I don’t like poppy seeds, generally speaking. And as peviously mentioned I am not a big salad eater. And now I am having my second salad in a week. Not a record, but definitely noteworthy. I have recently read about “massaging” kale and it truly makes a difference. This was […]
Page 123 Originally posted 5/27/2020 I don’t eat a lot of salad for the simple reason that lettuce has almost no flavor. To make it fun to eat you have to add a ton of stuff to it and usually add a calorie-laden dressing from a bottle. Not so with this one. Lots of fresh […]
Page 129 Originally posted 5/19/2020 Here is another one where Mark Wilson and I disagree on how good it is. He gives this a 4.8 and I can only give it a 3. For starters, there is too much cumin in it. I like cumin but this needed about half what the recipes calls for. […]
Page 113 Originally posted 5/17/2020 We had a pretty wide range of opinions on this one. Mark gave it the lowest review and Andrew gave it the highest, mostly due to the addition of cheese and spiced croutons (which are not called for in the recipe so his vote can’t actually count). I give it […]
Page 119 Originally posted 4/18/2020 This is a great way to add some veggies to your diet without feeling like you are eating vegetables. It is packed with zucchini, squash, carrots, onions, celery, spinach and the pasta, beans, and basil 🌿 kick up the texture and flavor. I had to substitute bow ties for the […]
Page 131 Originally posted 4/15/2020 I like a good salad. In fact, I only like GOOD salads. It may be healthy but if it isn’t tasty I’m not eating it. This is not a salad I will go out of my way to make, but if someone else makes it I will eat it. The […]
