Jam Filled Sweet Rolls
When I was in culinary school, the one item I always enjoyed making was brioche dough. It’s very versatile and can be used to make both sweet and savory items. I came across this Croatian/Serbian sweet roll called Buhtle on several sites, but it was the one that I found at bears kitchen that I…

The winter is officially upon us and staying warm this year will involve all of the things our mothers taught us…dress in layers, wear your woolly socks, hats and scarves, and don’t forget to eat your soup…oh, yes…lots of soup.

The Holiday Season is such a busy time for everyone, and every year it is always the same…we find ourselves in a last minute mad dash to the finish line.

As we begin to wind down the Holiday season, I am trying to use up all of my pumpkin puree in as many baked products as I can. I love pumpkin because it is not only good for you, but everyone just loves baked goods made with pumpkin this time of the year. I was…
