Sweet Potato Biscuits Recipe. Thibeault's Table: Italian Garlic Bread with Gorgonzola. Last night we had dinner with our wonderful neighbours Barb and Clif. Barb is only home one week a month as she works out of town. So when she is home we usually have dinner together at least once or twice. Since it was a work day for me, I decided to make my favourite pasta sauce - Sausage and Rosemary - something I could put on in the morning and then just reheat. For a quick appetizer we had little cocktail toasts topped with warm goat cheese, a toasted walnut half and a drizzle of olive oil. A nice little bite that goes well with a glass of red wine. And with the pasta we had our favourite Gorgonzola Garlic Bread.
We lived in Dunkirk, NY for a couple of years and would often go into Buffalo for lunch or dinner. This bread is my recreation of their Gorgonzola bread. I mentioned this bread once before in a one of my earlier blog entries. Long loaf of Italian Bread or long crusty rolls. Optional: Basil or Oregano . Mince garlic and add to cheese mixture.

A few ingredients creates a soft, but dense bread. The basic principle is to use the beer as the yeast. Although beer is great in this capacity, adding a leavening agent like baking soda, or self rising flour, is important to help keep the bread from becoming too dense. The simple ingredients open the possibility to so many different types of flavorings. Beer bread can be sweet or savory.

Jalapeno Pale Ale Cornbread. The past few weeks I’ve been craving summer. I live in Los Angeles, so feel free to laugh at my inability to cope with a mild seasonal chill. It isn’t so much the weather of the Summer months that I miss, but the culture of the season. Backyard barbecues, a slower life pace, vacations and water related activities. There is something about the way that summer feels in my bones, the feeling of endless possibilities that the days bring that I miss. Beer is a great way to add a new dimension to cornbread. I chose Stone 11.11.11 Vertical Epic Ale because it has a beautiful chili flavor, without the heat, a hard thing to accomplish.

Cheddar Beer Bread Muffins. I’ve noticed something about you. You seem to have no interest in healthy beer recipes. You want your beer recipes to be a flagrant indulgence of full flavored stimulation. You want chocolate and bacon and sugar and whatever else I can manage to squeeze into your meal. I like that about you. No “semi-homemade” or “skinny” versions will do for your beer baking, you want it to be bold and extravagant, diet repercussions be damned. So it is by pure accident that I offer to you a recipe that only takes 5 minutes to throw together and less than 20 to bake, allowing you to get a fully flavored beer muffin on your table in less than a half an hour.

Bloomin' Onion Bread. My husband and I waited tables at Outback Steakhouse while we were in college and ate our share of Bloomin’ Onions. But the funny thing is we never actually ordered them. If a table ordered a Bloomin’ Onion and canceled the order, the onion would sit in the window until another table ordered one which was usually just a matter of minutes. But every once in a while there would be a lull where no orders would come in and the “Bloom” was pronounced “dead”, meaning it would not be served to customers, and all the servers got to eat it. For some reason we always came to work starving so when this happened we ate our little hearts out. I don’t know if there are other servers out there but I still have reoccurring nightmares where I’m in the weeds with all of my table – everyone needs a drink refill and all of my orders are wrong.

My sister stopped by this weekend to drop off the Electrolux Assistant mixer she had hidden in her basement for the past 5 years.
Can you believe someone owning a machine like this and not using it? Craziness. It wasn’t until she caught me talking to one of our other sisters (I have 5 of ‘em!) About the KitchenAid she had bought that it dawned on her she too had a stand mixer lying around doing nothing particularly useful. Brand new (well, 5 years old, but never been used). With a meat grinder attachment. In the short time I’ve had this mixer now, I found out that really bad things happen when I get cravings and have a powerful machine like this at my disposal.

Twist each strip twice to create a spiral. Place them on a baking sheet (I used baking paper) and give them some room. They were delicious. Best part?
