These breadsticks are best straight out of the oven, of course, but they’re also good up to a day old, especially if you pop them in the microwave for a second first. The mozzarella gives them a great texture, and the parmesan gives them a lively flavor that means eight of these barely last ten minutes. Plus, unlike my previous breadstick recipes, these breadsticks are soft and chewy, but don’t require a mold or even a stand mixer to make — both definite plusses. |
Sometimes my motivation for devising a recipe is as simple as someone staring mournfully at a price tag in a store. 🙂 My mother really wanted cinnamon raisin bread, but she did not want to play $8 for one measly little loaf made mostly out of brown rice flour off the shelf. So I grabbed the principles behind my garlic cheese bread and set to work, and a couple trials later I had this recipe. |
This curry is great served with rice, because once you eat all the veggies out you can tump in the rice and let it soak up the leftover liquid. Sometimes I even scoop some rice in with
earlier veggie-full bites, too. Some folks are adept enough to eat this dish with chopsticks when you eat it this way (with rice in the liquid) … I’m not :D. Even Sean, who is much better with chopsticks than I am, doesn’t eat this dish with them! But perhaps you have the chopstick-fu to pull it off. If so, more power to you. One way or the other, this is delicious, so enjoy!
This is one of my favorite salads, though it isn’t a traditional one. It makes a great side dish for barbecue-style events or to go along with simple dinners at home. It’s crisp, refreshing, easy to make and quite tasty.
Sorry this is late–we had a housewarming party this weekend and it ate a ton of time! However, before she left for home earlier this week, Jennifer and I finally did our “combine the cinnamon rolls” project we’ve been talking about for so long. It was actually kinda funny to make a dish and then all three of us (me, Sean, Jennifer) sit down and eat it–that doesn’t happen much any more, and almost NEVER with a dessert. Sean and Jennifer both commented on that as we ate our way through the experiments, in fact.
