Kolaches are a traditional Czech pastry, kinda somewhere between a filled donut, a danish, and a sweetbread roll. Of course, they’re nothing like any of these :-). Though the ones I’ve
made here all have dessert and/or breakfast fillings (fruit flavors and cream cheese filling both fall into that category), you can also make kolaches that have sausage filling, potato filling, sausage or potato and cheese filling.
| You know, sometimes you just need chocolate. And sometimes that chocolate needs to be warm and gooey and have a good bite to it, and no matter how many times various family members tell you to just go make some hot cocoa, you just need brownies. |  |
These muffins are quite tasty, and actually pretty good for you, especially in the world of muffins! Muffins are such a wonderfully portable and fast food, but, like many things that can be
called “fast food” (literally), the fast food industry has a tendency to bloat them up with extra simple carbs, sugar, fat, and overall calories. You don’t have to feel guilty, or bloated, if you want to eat these for breakfast, though, and you can make up a big batch at once for convenience. Enjoy!
| It’s hilarious, really: Hamburgers are yet one more thing I never cared for when I was a kid, but like just fine now. I don’t think it had anything to do with the burger itself; I just had a hard time eating a whole burger at once, which I was naturally expected to do, and I didn’t like so many ingredients appearing all at once on a strange and infrequent food. (I was a finicky eater; you may have noticed.) And I generally prefer chicken to beef anyway. But when my brother went on the gluten-free diet, and started eating beef patties or sandwich meats with “buns” made of two thick slices of cheese, I figured I’d better make some hamburger buns! 🙂 |  |
