I really, really wanted chocolate chip cookies, but two things stood in my way. One, I was low on my favorite dark chocolate chips and two, right now they are $13 a bag. Crazy. They’ve jumped from $7 a year ago to $13 today.
So what to do? How about some fun gluten-free/flourless chocolate cookies? I love these because they are like the best brownie bites instead of cookies. And super easy to make.
This morning’s adventures before dashing off to talk with his squirrel friend. He’s still tiny and still fearless.
Can’t believe Reggie is two today. I remember when he was so small, I carried him around tucked in my bra.
The rewrites for Full Sail – the third book in the TJ Wilde Trilogy – are completed and this draft feels solid enough to send off to the editor. It will be sad to say goodbye to TJ, but there are so many other stories waiting to be told.
Nora is all of us this Monday. She is snuggled down in the coop and could not be enticed to come out this morning. And yes, those are stuffed animals (from her dog buddies) that she’s curled up with. She is getting up there in age, so if she wants to sleep in, she can sleep in.
Revisiting Potato Bread from 2020:
Someone suggested to me to use potato bread dough next time I made cinnamon rolls. It sounded like an idea, but it also made me really, really want potato bread. I don’t believe I’ve ever made it before. And since I had no plans to make cinnamon rolls anytime soon, potato bread it had to be.
I have to tell you, it was fairly simple, and made the most amazing bread. Silky, moist, flavorful, and firm enough to cut into very thin slices.
The only drawback of the recipe is you’ll need either a stand mixer or a bread machine. The dough must be kneaded for about 7 minutes on a high speed. It’s a very sticky dough, difficult to knead by hand and it’s really not possible to get the texture without a machine knead.
Otherwise, it’s straightforward.
