Mind Bending Zebra Bread
TF and baked this bread together, every step! it was a delightful novelty for her, and, as she stacked them into the pan, she was fascinated by the similarity with the stripes on her favorite animal - the zebra. That was the shift. To me, it was simply a reformatted pull apart bread. For her, it was so much more animated and wondrous! Thus the name “Zebra Bread”, for its reminder that looking through a child’s eyes can definitely be a mind bend, often for the positive! And, a note to self to do it more often!
That Baked Feta
While the internet is still lit for the baked feta folded into pasta, I think it actually is a better cheese plate centerpiece. Imagine, spreading the lusciously silken feta, scooped over a cracker and then topped with a plump juicy, caramelized cherry tomato. Divine!
Breakfast for the quick footed
THE WORLD IS A PLAY GROUND
Ahhhh to be a 2 year old! :) You get to sleep 12 hours plus a nap and play allllll day! And, you can eat literally every hour and have the energy to constantly run, run, run, and yet not be out of breath.
Two Bean Chicken Casserole
This casserole, is simply layers of love - from the richly browned and crisped chicken thighs, to the caramelized mushrooms, the depth of sage and the richness of a double bean stew. Pour yourself a glass of crisp white, because it is that kind of saucy indulgence - cold wine, warm belly!
Puff Pockets With Roasted Tomato and Whipped Mascarpone
Rather impressed with what had been delivered on my Instagram feed, I allowed myself to go with the flow and tweak to my pantry! Roasted cherry tomatoes with rosemary draped over a cheese filled pastry shell. Divine! That’s all folks.
