Another new post at the new blog.

New post!

I've posted a new post over at the new blog - come check it out!

Follow me!

Okay, I know you've all been just DYING to know what this 'big change' is that I was talking about it my last post, so I'll tell you...

I moved! Okay, not physically, but in blog land. I've got a new place now - a place of my very own. 

So update your blogrolls, your Google Readers, your bookmarks, your hastily-scrawled post-it notes and your souls. But most importantly, come check it out:

The times, they are a-changin'

Sorry for the absence the last few days. It's for a good reason, though, which I will let you in on very soon. For now, I'll just tell you that there are going to be some pretty big changes around here...

Stay tuned!

*Okay, I just have to edit to add two things: First, I AM NOT PREGNANT. Second, the changes aren't really that big a deal, sorry if I got anyone's hopes up! :)*

One a penny, two a penny

First off, *thank you* to everyone who got excited with me over The Brit's conversion! I'm still so stoked about it! We're working on finding a non-dairy milk he likes right now. Soy was a no-go, rice was a definite no-go, as was almond... oat seems to be okay so far. Anyone have any other suggestions?

I hope everyone had a good Zombie Jesus Day! On Good Friday I made Hot Cross Buns. Except... I left off the crosses due to laziness. I tried to make pseudo-crosses by cutting an "X" in the top of each bun, but when they baked they ended up looking more like little horns. I guess I should have called them Blasphemous Buns instead.

I made another tester for Bianca's cookbook! This time it was Buttermilk Biscuits - a southern staple. She hit the nail on the head again with this awesome recipe! They were light, fluffy, AND 100% whole wheat. I cut them into hearts because it's cute.

And what would southern-style biscuits be without gravy? Bianca's creamy Sausage-Sage Gravy made this an awesome breakfast.

This baked lemon-herb tofu didn't turn out as fabulous as I'd hoped, but it was still tasty enough to eat! Mashed gold potatoes can make up for anything less than stellar, anyway.

There was nothing less than stellar about this pizza, though! I made apple-sage sausages to grill at my parents' house on Saturday, and this was the perfect way to use the leftovers. 

This was the first pizza I've ever made 100% from scratch. The 'ricotta' and pesto were inspired by the Isa Pizza in VwaV, but I didn't have the right ingredients so I fudged it. Homemade: pizza dough, roasted red pepper sauce (no tomatoes - The Brit isn't a tomato fan), tofu 'ricotta', spinach pesto (I didn't have any fresh basil), apple-sage sausages and caramelized onions. This pizza was AMAZING.

And the best part? I still have half the pizza dough leftover, wrapped up in my freezer. I foresee much more homemade pizza in my future!

Did hell just freeze over?

The Brit... has decided... to become... vegan.

If you need me - I'll be here, dying of shock and glee.

The upper crust

Every week, usually twice a week, I bake my own sandwich bread. I love it (and so does The Brit), but sometimes I want more. Something... heartier. Crustier. Chewier.

I decided to try my hand at no-knead bread, guessing it would pair perfectly with the soup I planned on making. I was right.

Check out that sexy crust.

Don't let that tough exterior fool you.

Inside it's all soft and chewy.

It's not a great photo, but the leftover bread made amazing French Toast.

I definitely see more specialty bread in my future.
