I love bread and have been experimenting making homemade bread for the past year. But I was discouraged multiple times, when it just seemed inconsistent and some just too dense.

Ingredients 1 1/2 cups warm water 2 1/4 tsp yeast 1/2 tbs salt 3 1/4 cups flour Directions First add the water, yeast and salt to a mixing bowl. Mix until the yeast and salt is dissolved.

s These wholesome, whole-grain scones flavored with raisins and cinnamon make the morning special. Photo by Vera Dawson / High Country Baking The holidays are over. It’s time for simpler meals, but we still want foods that make coming to the table pleasurable. So I made these oat scones for breakfast.

And that lamb may likely have tasted very gamey and was probably overcooked (which is why it may have benefited from the mint sauce, to mask the flavor).

Eating is loads of fun, but in order to do that, you’ve got to get off the couch and cook (let’s pretend that ordering pizza isn’t an option). The good news is that cooking can be incredibly enjoyable and it will put your creativity and dexterity to the test. The bad news is, watching Gordon Ramsay shout at amateur cooks for the 100th time on YouTube won’t make you a brilliant chef if you don’t hone your skills like a cuisine samurai. Luckily, the internet is full of helpful professionals. These cooks are sharing some of their wisdom with amateurs...
