This flatbread went great with my Pasta Fagioli! If anyone asks me who taught me how to bake, I will always say Anna Olson. So it is not every day I fiddle with one of her recipes but if Anna’s show Sugar taught me anything, it is to be creative when baking. People think that […]

Chicken and mozzarella sandwhich on dill bread This could possibly be our most favourite bread recipe of all time. After my husband comes home from being away, I always get out my breadmaker and make it for him. We have been eating this bread for a long, long time and I was shocked to realize […]
