Day Drinking in a Blizzard! This is called the Nor’ester. Thank goodness the internet has seasonally appropriate cocktail recipes! Here’s to no power cuts and powder not concrete snow.
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.
This recipe, in yeasted form vs sourdough, is by far the most viewed recipe on this here CSPS site. I’m not sure why exactly — the referrers are all from Pinterest, so I am guessing it’s just been shared to members who have large followings, and then saved a lot. So I decided to create a sourdough version of it as well, and I personally think that it is even better than the yeast version. Got a bit of tang, very rosemary, just the right amount of sea salt. It’s going to make some delicious paninis for dinner.
