I was chatting with some folks at work about our quarantine baking and how its difficult to divide recipes to reduce the baking scale. When my senior VP mentioned that he makes popovers since they are delicious and you can make 2 at a time. Naturally I had to find out for myself exactly how …
I love easter time, Spring is in the air, it’s no longer quite as cold, and of course the Easter Bunny brings lots of treats! While the Easter bunny doesn’t bring Easter Bread, it’s another sweet treat that’s perfect to enjoy with the family. Easter bread is common in Italian communities and has a lot …
