Baked Oatmeal, Old & New
Erica Lea on Aug 30th 2010

Fascinating how much your photography can change in just 1.5 years. Way back in December of 2008 I blogged about a delicious recipe I had concocted: Fruit on the Bottom Baked Oatmeal. Here was my original header photo:

I was so proud that captured this image early on a Winter morning.
All of this to say, go and see my guest post on the Tasty Kitchen blog: Fruit on the Bottom Baked Oatmeal.

Grandma’s Cooking School: Homemade Bread & Sweet Rolls
Erica Lea on Jul 7th 2010
{Grandma’s Cooking School is my chronicles of the informal cooking lessons that my Grandma graciously decided to give us girls. I have compiled a list of all the lessons so far. Enjoy!}
I am at a loss for words to describe these delicious creations, so I’ll let the photos do (most of) the talking.
Grandma’s homemade bread. Light, flavorful, delicious.
I love Grandma’s flour/baking drawer.
And her cupboards.

How to Make Greek Yogurt
Erica Lea on Jun 21st 2010
One afternoon, as my sister & I were on lunch break, we discovered something delicious: Greek Gods Yogurt. Between the two of us we devoured a 24-ounce container of the Honey flavor. Hey, it was my first encounter with “real” Greek yogurt.
The drawback? The price. I knew there must be a way to make Greek yogurt at home.
After one failed attempt that left me with runny yogurt, I gave up. Then, a few weeks ago, I decided to try again. And…success! The creamy, rich yogurt was almost like sour cream.

Are you looking for a light, airy bread recipe? This one is not for you. Are you looking for a hearty, whole-grain bread filled with complex flavors? Keep reading.
I must admit that I had my doubts about this recipe. I threw all of the ingredients into the bread machine, set it to the dough cycle, and left it for hours. When I returned, it hadn’t risen very far and the dough smelled strongly of yeast. Being an optimist at heart, I scraped it out of the pan, formed it into a ball, and set the oven.
