The 24-hour Focaccia

Salty. Crunchy. Fluffy. The perfect amount of chewy. The aroma of olive oil swirled with a dash of garlic, oregano and rosemary. Oh bread. OH bread. Bread is bae.

KFC “Fried Tofu” Sandwich

Chic-Fil-A. KFC. Popeyes. Marketing campaigns have influenced us for decades, touting FRIED CHICKEN as the ultimately comforting fast food. They put it in tubs. They put it in sandwiches.

The Quickest Apple Crumble

Oh honey pie. Oh apple pie. Oh crack pie. Oh crap, I don’t have the time or patience to make pie. And by time I mostly mean patience because we’re all locked inside and having nothing but time. But you get what I mean, I wanted apple pie and I wanted it now without actually…

The Just Perfect Banana Bread

Sweet, but just enough. Moist, but not too much (and also the only, only, only acceptable time to use that word.) Crumby, but not crumbly. Nutty but not too healthy. Wholesome. Chocolatey.
