Two Galettes for the Price of One

You might be wondering, what the heck is a galette? Or maybe you’re a foodie and you know! A galette is a flat round cake of pastry often topped with fruit. It’s pronounced ga-let.

Homemade Bread Recipe

I love to bake but I’ve always been so intimidated by baking bread. I usually go for the simple no-knead recipe I have shared. My son came home from school with the Bake for Good package and they asked us to bake a loaf for the local food pantry. We gave it a try. It wasn’t nearly as complicated as I thought. Here is the recipe!

Homemade Mac and Cheese

Comfort food at it’s best, Mac and Cheese! This was a ten-minute meal since I had a half a pound of elbow pasta from the other night. A few simple ingredients and dinner is ready!
