Potato Bread Bowls
At a lodge in the mountains or on a windy trek at the coast I am always delighted to see stew or clam chowder in a bread bowl on the menu…

Low in fat but rich in flavor, these delicious muffins are soft, creamy, delicately nutty and mildly sweet. They are more like a good bowl of hot oatmeal than a sticky sweet coffee cake.

Celebrating with a New Orleans Style King Cake
This New Orleans style King Cake is made from a cinnamon spiced yeast dough. Rolled out and stuffed with a praline filling, the dough is then shaped into a circular loaf before baking and decorating with vanilla icing and colorful sugar. As this festive cake is shared, each person searches for the “baby” that is hidden inside. Whoever finds it hidden in their slice is honored with a gift and/or the responsibility of hosting the next gathering during the Mardi Gras season.
Ham and Cheese Bread
This vintage recipe is a great way to use leftover ham. Sprinkled with grated cheese and sesame seeds, Ham and Cheese Bread is pretty and versatile. It makes a great recipe for a casual dinner, a packed lunch or a tasty snack. Any leftover bread, sliced and toasted, works nicely as a quick breakfast.
