Awkward. Not only did I not make a new dish in December, despite professing that I would work some into the rotation, but I also didn’t take any pictures of the food I did make, other than this ciabatta that bubbled up nicely for some mortadella sandwiches we had. Maybe this month will be the…

As I’m looking at what we ate in November, I’m realizing that I did not make a single dinner that I had not made before. Something to think about for December, though we’re now 12 days into it and the year is clearly getting away from me. On the plus side, I made challah for…

Lots of new recipes this month! The cover photo here is from when I substituted poblanos I grew for the jalapeños I usually use in this pepper/cheddar sourdough recipe.

As mentioned in the last roundup, I realized that I haven’t been making too many new-to-me non-baking recipes and set out to remedy that this month. It didn’t mean that I didn’t also try new baking recipes, but I was very pleased with the new dinner recipes we tried out this past month. New Recipes…

One of the perks of doing this monthly roundup is realizing that I’ve been doing a whole lot of new baking recipes, but almost no new cooking recipes in several months. I was compiling this list right around the time we meal planned for the week, so it spurred me to put a new recipe…
