Seeing I was stuck at home all day, I decided to make some winter comfort food… I’d never roast a chicken in the summer (that is what Whole Food Rotisserie is for!) but today I was at home and was in the mood so… Voila! The roasted bird with schmaltzy veggies (and by that, I mean the “covered in chicken fat” meaning of schmaltzy, not the “overly sentimental” definition). Delicious. Plenty of leftovers for the next days as well.
So, I made these dinner rolls because I wanted to try something new with the sourdough starter. Turns out, the rolls are likely better than dinner itself. Crusty on the outside, light, a great chew and favor on the inside. Whole wheat and a little bit of brown sugar definitely up the flavor. Sort of like mini-baguettes. Would make a great sandwich too. I’m sold on these.
I’ve never been that much of a granola or Müsli much, but this might as well be called “The Granola that Changed My Mind Granola” — this Coconut Almond and Honey Granola is really really good. I’m happily surprised actually. I paired it for the last few days with coconut yogurt and maybe an extra drizzle of honey as an afternoon snack, and it’s been great. Perfect for breakfast or a pick me up snack. All natural, gluten free. Make a big batch (this recipe) and it will last you a few weeks.
