A full day in the kitchen.


Thanks to the lovely care package Andrew's mom sent (it's true: I LOVE magazines, especially cooking ones! THANK YOU!), I was inspired to cook and bake all day. The other day, we talked about how the weather was calling for a warm and hearty stew, given that the high temperature just barely made it to 50 degrees. Of course, when we make stew, we have to make bread, as well. So, plenty of pots and pans later, here's a quick recap of all that our kitchen churned out yesterday: 

A fresh loaf, using the Artisan Bread in Five recipe for dough (here's the link to forming a two-pound loaf!).


A beef and Guinness stew, which we decided was our favorite one we've ever made.


Cranberry-pumpkin bread! I'll post the recipe later, but it's been a family favorite for many fall seasons now! 


The apartment smelled so, so good coming in from outside! It was an entire afternoon of baking and cooking delight, but today, it's time to run off all those lovely treats (only 42 days left until Turkey Day 5K!). What is everyone up to today?
