Crêpes, Stuffed Manicotti-Style: June 11, 2013
Where to put this recipe? I made this version vegetarian, though the original called for a meat sauce; and in place of pasta tubes, we’re using crêpes, those lovely, thin French pancakes. *sigh* Just resign yourself to finding this, praticular recipe in just about every section of this here table o’ frikkin’ contents. We strive for nothing if not overkill.
Parfait! Crêpes, Stuffed Manicotti-Style: August 15, 2014
I added sun dried tomatoes to the crêpes, beef to the pasta sauce, and used whipped cottage cheese as the base for the filling. Nice!

This is a GREAT use for left over ‘Za dough, and is so tasty, I am tempted to just keep a couple at hand for everyday noshing.
Parfait! Flat Bread, Best!: June 1, 2012
I’ve swapped out rye flour for the whole wheat and found that adding 4 or 5 hours to the rising time makes for One. Fine. Flat. Bread.

Pretty darned spiffy for burgers, if you ask me.
Savory Shortcrust Pastry: June 12, 2012
Another take on Pie Crust, but tailored for savory fillings, and well suited to filling, rolling, and then baking the slices. Just trust me, and step away from the anchovies.

Yeh – this pastry worked a treat on top of a fine chicken pie, and no one missed the anchovies at all.

Sourdough Sponge (Parfait!): September 2, 2011

Sourdough Boules: October 15, 2011
Sourdough Bread, FINALLY!: September 12, 2011

Stuffing Balls: January 21, 2016
The original recipe called for making these tasty balls o’ seasoned bread and stuff in 1/2 cup servings. That was a lot of stuffing ball; so next time, I plan on cutting back to a 1/4 measure – or mebbe even go mini with a one tablespoon scoop to make appetizer stuffing balls.
