People are people the world over
When I want bread for sandwiches, I have to buy it from the grocery.
In Switzerland, it is expensive.
I found myself searching for a way to make bread at home to save some money.
Today, I found a recipe and I made some bread.
I.
Made.
Bread.
Ha!
Is that cool, or what?
I made TWO loaves!
I am excited that I am able [...]
Yesterday, I made carrot cupcakes. My six year old daughter’s best friend was coming over to play and I wanted to make something special for the quatre heure (snack time at 4 p.m.). I found a great recipe on Joy of Baking. I followed the recipe closely but I did add a little [...]
I, finally, talked Vilay into buying a muffin pan. He isn’t big on muffins or cupcakes. I love muffins and think cupcakes are perfect for school birthdays.
This morning, I had to break in the muffin pan! So, I made homemade cupcakes while the girls were at school. Only problem is that I can not make [...]

Tip: We didn’t have chocolate chips so I just chopped a bar of baking chocolate into small [...]
Toétché is a speciality of the Jura canton of Switzerland. It is a cake but it is not sweet. There is no sugar called for in the recipe. However, it is very good.
In the past, we have bought half of a large toétché at the bakery for quatre heure (snack). One [...]
Melting the butter and chocolate on low heat. The apartment smelled like a big slice of chocolate heaven.
Sweet Bear was the official mixer of all the ingredients. She had fun drizzling the chocolate over the flour making pictures.
The finished product. I will sprinkle powdered sugar over them at the school when I am [...]
Last Friday, I had bought another small baking pumpkin at our village Coop. Since I had already baked a pie with the last one that I had purchased, I decided to make some pumpkin bread with this one. It was a good choice.
I used this great and easy recipe.

I baked a pumpkin pie this past Saturday. It turned out great. Below is the recipe I used to make the filling. I wasn’t happy with how my homemade crust turned out. If anyone reading this has a good pie crust recipe I would appreciate it if you would share.
Here is [...]
