This is, hands down, my new favorite bread. It’s another one of those (almost) no knead, bake-in-a-dutch-oven kind and it turned out perfect. It uses a King Arthur Harvest Grains blend (can he found here; a one bag of these grains is enough for 8 or 9 loaves). It adds a delicious nuttiness. Simply wonderful. And it looks darn right pretty.

The other day, I bought this amazing green (of course) mini-bundt pan from Ten Hands Pottery on Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/shop/TenHandsPottery). It arrived late last week and the very first thing I thought was what to make — and came up with this recipe for a Hazelnut Chocolate Red Currant Bundt. It was a riff on my standard pound cake recipe, so I wasn’t sure that it would come out as planned, but it’s delicious. And it photographs well in the lovely pan.
Pea Pesto Parpadelle … if nothing else, it’s kinda of funny to say. And turns out, it’s yummy, summery and really quick to make — like this took no more that 20 minutes from fridge and pantry to plate. You can make this with frozen peas any time of year, but I happen to find fresh ones at the market (for those precious few weeks in the summer).
Sticking to the All the Proteins!! theme, but going plant-based this time, here is a recipe for Honey Chipotle Snacking Nuts. I know, I know, I usually make candied nuts around Christmas time, no they are great around the campfire or on the beach too, so why not do a summer version? A little bit sweet, a little bit spicy and a whole lot of snack-worthy!
