The weekly sourdough! Another “new-to-me” bread (though I had made it as a yeasted bread before): Sourdough Marathon Bread. Why is it called Marathon Bread? Well, other than it being chock full of good for you stuff, thus, likely a good way to carb-load for a marathon, I don’t have a good, specific answer. It does have grated carrots and finely chopped dried fruit (I used dried apricots but you can use anything that you like), plus sunflower and pumpkin seeds. Healthy, yummy, great as a breakfast bread and keeps you going all day with sustenance. I’ll definitely make it again (but with raisins or cranberries, I think)

I’ve had a song stuck in my head for a day now. Do you like Piña Coladas? Getting caught in the rain…. Yup, all because of these here Pineapple Coconut Crumble Bars, I have been humming those two lines of The Piña Colada Song (mainly because I only know those two lines 🙂 ). It turned unexpectedly tropical this weekend in Greater Boston, so it was more or less appropriate eh?
I may have mentioned this before (in fact, I know that I have), but I very much enjoy florentine-style (i.e. very thin and crispy) cookies. These are particularly yummy. Often, this style of cookie involves nuts, but this time I merely went with oatmeal and some toffee bits to add to the crunch, and then I sandwiched two together to make Florentine-Style Oatmeal “Jamwiches” (instead of sandwiches). Sweet and crispy cookies, tart and juicy jam. Quite lovely, actually.

Rosemary Olive and Honey Sourdough Focaccia
The issue with baking artisan sourdough bread is that it is delicious. And addictive. And frankly, I could eat this entire loaf of focaccia, if I didn’t have any self-control. It is *that* good. Salty and briny from the olives, sweet from the honey. Hearty. Stop me, before I just gobble this all up. Great as a bread side to dinner, with garlic olive oil as a started or a snack. Sneak a piece when no one is looking. It’s seriously delicious.
