More homemade bread!

The baguette I made the other day turned out to be quite tasty! We got some cheese to go with it.

Yesterday I made two ciabatta rolls for lunch and then tasty caprese sandwiches out of them!

New, easy way to do bread!

For the wedding, we received a kit of stuff to make bread easily on a regular basis: a pizza peel, a baking stone, and an instructional book. I used the set up once to make a small loaf of bread for dinner last week, and just pulled two small baguettes out of the oven. I am excited to try them!! The bread set up really is very easy to do, with delicious outcomes!

More on Pinthouse Pizza

Kyle and I enjoyed our pizza and beer at the new pizza place nearby!

Look who's cooking...

It's this guy and he runs this ship :)

Waffle sandwiches

What has the world come to and why hasn't anyone told me about this before?

Pinthouse Pizza

There is a new pizza/brewery near us in Austin and we tried it
tonight, the result is that it was awesome! We had the armadillo
which had ricotta, cilantro, sausage, poblano peppers with a olive oil
base. I was very impressed with the crust and beer selection. If you
take a look at the photo you can see what the monthly casked IPA birth
date is, ver promising!

Cooking for the new year!!

Banana chocolate chip muffins and fresh pesto
Jambalaya!

Kyle and I are feeling better today after staying up for the new year and then sleeping in a long time. We weren't quite up to being out and about too much, so we decided to plan out a bunch of meals, go to the store, and cook. And that is what we did. Between the two of us, we made:
* a triple batch of Mexican rice and beans (an old favorite)
* banana chocolate chip muffins (tasty and healthy!)
* turkey chili
* pesto
* jambalaya (inspired by Kyle's mom while we were in Wisconsin)
* bread dough (to be made into bread tomorrow maybe!)
It was a busy evening!
