This is the best cornbread you will ever have. The soaking of the cornmeal before mixing it in with the other ingredients is brilliant. This softens the cornmeal and allows the cornbread to be so soft. If you like a sweeter cornbread this one is good, just reduce the sugar if you like a less sweet cornbread. Trust me you will love this cornbread.

To me banana bread was something that someone else brought over to the house or gave us for a gift. For some reason my mom didn’t ever make quick breads such as banana bread or zucchini bread (at least I don’t remember her making them). Thus the quick bread was somewhat of a mystery to me and so i thought it was hard to make them. Although I found out later that these elusive breads were insanely easy to make, especially with the help of a good Kitchenaid mixer.
It’s not very often that there are old bananas at my house. We love ourselves some bananas, but when there are I like to make banana bread. I stumbled upon this recipe in my journeys through the recipes interwebs and it has become my defacto recipe for banana bread.

My Wife’s Dad makes some mean breakfasts. He is always making pancakes, waffles or some other goodness. I tried replicating them but he’s the kind of guy that doesn’t measure, its all by feel and sight and for me that doesn’t cut it when it comes to “baking”. My attempts to replicate his biscuits were always in vain. So I decided to search for a recipe I could call my own, but I had one main criteria: It had to be made with butter.
A lot of recipes I found were made with shortening. To me shortening is tasteless and gross. If I want to bake something I want it to have some flavor. What about butter flavored shortening you might ask? Well its the same stuff as above but with fake butter flavor, and that’s not tastyliciousness. Finally I found this one on Epicurious.com and I must say everyone at my house is in love, even the Wife.

I was looking for a good focaccia bread recipe to go with my High Desert Pizza Focaccia Sandwich, but never found what i was looking for. That is until I found this recipe. I am pretty particular when it comes to recipes and the focaccia bread recipes I found in the past just didn’t sit well with me for one reason or another. I even tried one from Michael Chiarello from the Food Network and to tell you the truth it wasn’t good at all.
Oh by the way I went and bought a rosemary bush for $4.50 at Lowes. Way cheaper than the package you would buy at the grocery store and its pretty much a never ending supply. I wouldn’t omit the rosemary if I were you.
