Dessert Pie Crust

Dessert Pie Crust by myra byanka

This dough has a touch of sugar, so I use it for 9" dessert pies.

"New York Times" No-Knead Artisan Bread

"New York Times" No-Knead Artisan Bread by myra byanka

A friend made this recipe for a small gathering. I loved it because the crumb is full of holes like ciabatta, and it has a light sourdough flavor. Beginners can make this wonderful bread. All you need is a room temp of at least 70 F for 12-18 hours. I would start this bread late afternoon, and then bake it the next day for…

Catalina Dressing

Catalina Dressing by myra byanka

Great marinade for flank steak to be grilled, baked chicken (see links)or as a dressing for mixed green salads. Unfortunately, I just eat it with a spoon.

Ranchero Sauce #2

Ranchero Sauce #2 by myra byanka

Use this easy prep salsa for Huevos Rancheros, tortilla dishes, meatloaf, etc. I have never seen this particular type of sauce in the grocery store for some reason, so always make it.

Sourdough Bread (San Francisco Style - No Yeast Added)

Sourdough Bread (San Francisco Style - No Yeast Added) by myra byanka

If you're not a sourdough baker, what follows may be tedious. I know the yeasts my starter ("Wild Thing") caught in Texas are not the ones native to the Bay Area, but this bread tastes just as good. I employed the dough hooks on my recently purchased garage sale old Sunbeam Mixmaster, as the knead time is 10 minutes. This…

Honey Wheat Bread

Honey Wheat Bread by myra byanka

This easy prep bread requires a few minutes of kneading, but bakes into a beautiful loaf that I like to make tuna or chicken salad sandwiches with, or just have as toast at breakfast. It will last in the bread box up to 3 days. Easily doubles and freezes.

Quick/Easy Chocolate Buttesecotch Peanut Clusters by J. Gino Genovesi

Candy making has been around for many centuries. Many countries have their individual candies. I have tried many clusters, or some call them turtles, and I like this simple one of mine. It's quick and simple and great tasting. Try it.

Cajun Crowder Beans

Cajun Crowder Beans by Amos Miller

Also known as Crowder peas, these delicious little fellas can often be found in frozen form at the store. These are fresh picked right here in Michigan and, like fava beans and so many other seasonal treats, we rush them to the table. Crowders are really a 'Southern' treat and I first enjoyed them when visiting relatives in West…

You'll need a Panini press, or you can use a heavy skillet to mash the sandwiches flat.

On the Learning Curve with Artisan Breads

On the Learning Curve with Artisan Breads by myra byanka

After having turned into a bread nerd this last year, I decided to explore the mysteries of how bread ingredients affect one another, and what causes fermentation and the rising of dough. I've tossed so many loaves out the door for the birds that I began studying bread books to figure out what goes on scientifically, simplify it in my…

Chicken Wings or Drummies - Orange Glazed

Chicken Wings or Drummies - Orange Glazed by Amos Miller

Just make PLENTY for those Bowl Games! I had one trim couple eat 4 lbs and then look for more. This is very simple, but does take some lapsed time because I bake the wings, so the skin is crisp, yet the meat is moist and very tender. No eggs, flour, oil or milk are used in this recipe. This recipe makes enough glaze to coat…
