Zucchini Bread

Yes, I know I already have a Zucchini Bread recipe, but this one was my grandmother’s so I have to add it.  I loved this recipe growing up, but it was different enough for Jesse which is why we have two on the site. It doesn’t take too many zucchinis to get 2 grated cups [...]

Black Bean Salsa Bread

Since we tried the Easy Bread recipe by Marcia Passos Duffy via the The Heart of New England and it was really good, we figured we could make a couple of specialty breads with it.  So here’s our attempt at Black Bean Salsa bread.  It still needs a little work (we’re thinking it needs some [...]

Simple Bread

We’re huge fans of fresh bread and ever sine our bread machine committed suicide, we haven’t had any in the house.  Jesse recently got a craving for it and found this Easy Bread recipe by Marcia Passos Duffy via the The Heart of New England. I was kind of skeptical at first, but it really [...]

Zucchini Bread

Seriously, I don’t have a zucchini bread recipe here?  Okay, I’m rectifying that now since I’m making a few loaves.  I love zucchini bread and I’m still trying to find a really good recipe.  I have my grandmother’s (which will be posted later), but Jesse is hooked on his moms (which I don’t have).  So [...]

Banana Bread

I couldn’t believe I didn’t have a Banana Bread recipe up on the site.  Well, I’m rectifying that today.  I’m sitting on some good bread bananas, so I’m going to make a batch of Banana Bread.  The recipe I’m using today comes from Better Homes & Garden, mainly because I can’t remember which one I [...]

Pizza Dough

I’m always looking for a good pizza dough since pizza is a really easy meal to make at night (and far healthier than ordering delivery). Nikki, who has been sending me a lot of recipes lately, has said this is a great one for at home pizzas since it only takes about 15 minutes for [...]

Potato Bread

I have to admit, I’ve tried this recipe and I like this recipe, but I don’t really have anything else to say. It is one I make a lot though. Ingredients: 2 tbsp butter or margarine 1-1/2 cups water 2 tsp water 2 tsp salt 4 cups bread flour 4 tsp sugar 1/2 cup instant [...]

Peanut Butter and Jelly Bread

This was better than I thought it would be. It’s still kind of weird, but I have to admit, I liked the peanut butter and jelly flavoring in the bread. It’s definitely a bread that doesn’t need a lot of extra on it, but I could see using jam instead of butter when serving. This [...]

Whole Wheat Bread

This recipe tends to be a little dry, but I’m not sure what could be added to moisten it up. Otherwise, it’s really good. This is probably the one bread machine recipe we make all the time. Ingredients: 1 cup milk 3 tbsp water 4 tsp honey (or sugar) 1 tbsp butter or margarine 1-1/2 [...]
