Chocolate Cherry Bread is a moist delicious dessert bread studded with fresh dark cherries and chocolate. This very bread is very easy to make and is so delicious with a cup of coffee. As many of you know I love baking with sourdough! This recipe uses one cup of sourdough starter which helps give it a wonderful texture.
Horse Progress Days will be held at Mt Hope Auction Grounds in Mt Hope, Ohio. This event will be held on July 2nd and 3rd, 2021. I have been asked to have a Sourdough Demonstration in the Homemaker’s Building. On Friday the session will be at 9:45am and on Saturday it will be at 11:00am. Each person who attends a session will receive a small packet of sourdough starter.
I will take you through the steps of caring for your starter and showing how to mix bread dough. We will have cookbooks along that you can purchase. We look forward to seeing you there!
There are five different sessions for the ladies to attend while the men are busy with all the horse related items.
Homemade egg noodles are a Mennonite/German tradition. As a young girl my introduction into making noodles was by my grandmother and later on my mother-in-law. I still have my mother-in-law’s Atlas noodle maker and it has made many, many noodles.
The summer herald of fruit is berries! I love all kinds of berries and blackberries is one of my favorites. Blackberries differ slightly from black raspberries as they do a bit of a soft stem in them.
One of the first perennials in the garden to come up in the spring is Rhubarb. These tart red stalks are delicious combined with strawberries in a dessert.
Mother’s Day is rapidly approaching. What mother doesn’t love flowers and candy? So why not combine the two! These delicious Strawberry Cream Chocolate Roses have a wonderful strawberry flavor and a lovely eye appeal. It’s flowers and candy all in one!
Sourdough Cornbread made with Masa Cornmeal and topped with sauted veggies is so good served with a piping hot bowl of chili. Hidden in the bread is some sweet corn which give it a wonderful texture. In my thinking, cornbread must always be served with some diced jalapenos.
