Recipes: Cornbread, Oven-Baked Chili
I don’t know about you, but I’ve tried a zillion chili recipes in my life, and none of them has become The One.
You know, The One you immediately think of when you want to make chili.
I have The One brownie recipe. And The One fancy breakfast pastry.
The One Thanksgiving dinner rolls, which are SO good I make them every week.
But The One chili?
It’s been elusive.

When I was young, I distinctly remember hiding out for nearly a whole day in a Jeep in my mother’s friend’s garage.
I remember hearing them calling for me, and me refusing to answer because I was so very, very upset with all of them.
What happened to make me act out like this?

Oh the woes of gluten free bread.
It’s boring. Tasteless. The dough is unmanageable and not versatile.
I beg to differ.
When my family began making the gluten-free transition years ago, it was so hard to part with the comfort of good bread. It actually seemed easier to just avoid it altogether rather than risking failure in making it, or spending $6-$7 for a loaf at the grocery store.
We have since then, despite a small amount of whining in the process, successfully landed in a happy homemade loaf-loving life.

Recipe: Savory Pumpkin Ravioli
You all know how the old rhyme goes…
“Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater, had a wife and couldn’t keep her. He put her in a pumpkin shell and there he kept her very well.”
Curious minds want to know though, what did Mrs. Peter do in there, anyway? Well…

Recipe: Cinnamon Baked Doughnut Holes
I didn’t used to like baked doughnuts.
I mean, isn’t the whole point of doughnuts that crisp, nicely greasy crust? That way you can taste the frying fat, along with sugar and cinnamon and other signature doughnut flavors?
Baked doughnuts? Sounds like an oxymoron to me.

THIS is what happens at the end of the story that is repeated week after week in schools all over the country – lots and lots of bread. How did all this beautiful bread get here? And where is it going?

Recipe: None
The right recipe, the one that knocks people’s socks off and gets requested by 3 out of 5 diners, can be hard to come by. Bakers and cooks everywhere have their own arsenal, library, cache, toolbox, or cherished electronic file filled with formulas they trust. My goal as a chef and a baker isn’t to be famous. My goal is to be someone who writes the recipes you go to, again and again. That’s what The Baking Sheet is all about. I also do my best to help bakers learn new skills, which is what this particular blog is about.
