Weekly Roundup - Living On Nothing Edition [Survival Today

Did you hear about the guy that lives on nothing? No seriously, he lives on zero dollars a day. Meet Daniel Suelo, who lives in a cave outside Moab, Utah. Suelo has no mortgage, no car payment, no debt of any kind. He also has no home, no car, no television, and absolutely no “creature comforts.” But he does have a lot of creatures, as in the mice and bugs that scurry about the cave floor he’s called home for the last three years.

To us, Suelo probably sounds a little extreme. Actually, he probably sounds very extreme. After all, I suspect most of you reading this are doing so under the protection of some sort of man-made shelter, and with some amount of money on your person, and probably a few needs for money, too. And who doesn’t need money unless they have completely unplugged from the grid? Still, it’s an amusing story about a guy who rejects all forms of consumerism as we know it.

2. Crockpot Twice Baked Potatoes
Posted by: “MomsRecipes”

Crockpot Twice Baked Potatoes

One bag of frozen hash browns (regular or sometimes I used the O’Briens
with onions/green peppers)

1 10 oz. Can cream of mushrooms soup
1 10 oz. Can cream of celery soup
8 oz. container sour cream
8 oz. shredded cheddar cheese (you can put more cheese if you want)

Put all in crock pot on high for an hour to get it cooking. You won’t need
any liquid because when the hash browns defrost they will dilute the soup.

Then I cook on low about another 3-3 1/2 hours on low. I stir every half
hour or so.

NOTE: Sometimes I have used other soup like cream of chicken soup instead
of cream of celery if I didn’t have it in.

4. Ham in Coca-Cola
Posted by: “Terry

This is the last on one I did and it was fabulous. I didn’t use the crockpot but next time I will.
This recipe is from Nigella Lawson’s cookbook “Nigella Bites”. These are her comments about this recipe from her book.
Terry

“The first time I made it, it was, to be frank, really just out of amused interest. I’d heard, and read, about this culinary tradition from the Deep South, but wasn’t expecting it, in all honesty, to be good. The truth is it’s magnificicent, and makes coverts of anyone who eats it. But, if you think about it, it’s not surprising it should work; the sweet, spiky drink just infuses it with the spirit of barbecue. I have to force myself to cook ham any other way now; though often I don’t bother with the glaze but just leave it for longer in the bubbling Coke instead.

And the salty, sweet liquor it leaves behind in the pot after it’s cooked makes an instant base for the most fabulous black bean soup.

But just one thing before we start: don’t even consider using Diet Coke; it’s full sugar or nothing.”

Ham in Coca-Cola - Serves 8
Recipe By: Nigella Lawson

Ingredients
4 1/2 pounds Ham — bone in
1 Onion — cut in half
2 liter bottle Coca-Cola
For the Glaze
Cloves
1 tablespoons Molasses
2 teaspoons Coleman’s Mustard — powder
2 tablespoons Brown Sugar — granulated

Instructions
If you know that you’re dealing with a salty ham, put it in a pan covered with cold water, bring to the boil, then tip into a colander in the sink and start from here; otherwise, put the ham in a pan, skin side down if it fits like that, add the onion, then pour over the Coke. Bring to the boil, reduce to a good simmer, put the lid on, though not tightly, and cook for just under 2 1/2 hours. If your joint is larger or smaller, work out timing by reckoning on an hour for every 2 pounds, remembering that it’s going to get a quick blast in the oven later. But do take into account that if the ham’s been in the refrigerator right up to the moment you cook it, you will have to give it a good 15 minutes or so extra so that the interior is properly cooked.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 500F

When the ham’s had its time, take it out of the pan (but do not throw away the cooking liquid) and let cool for a little for ease of handling. (Indeed, you can let it cool completely then finish off the cooking at some later stage if you want.) Then remove the skin, leaving a thin layer of fat. Score the fat with a sharp knife to make fairly large diamond shapes, and stud each diamond with a clove. Then carefully spread the molasses over the bark budded skin, taking care not to dislodge the cloves. Gently pat the mustard and sugar onto the sticky fat. Cook in a foil lined roasting pan for approximately 10 minutes or until the glaze is burnished and bubbly.

Should you want to do the braising stage in advance and then let the ham cool. clove and glaze it and give it 30 to 40 minutes, from room temperature, at 350F, turning up the heat toward the end if you think it needs it.

This is seriously fabulous with anything.

Recipe Notes
Nigella’s glaze was very pretty but next time I want to try Ina’s Ham Glaze.

How To Make Pine Cone Flames And Firestarters

Posted By TipNut On November 1, 2006 @ 3:32 am In Crafty Ideas | No Comments

Pine cone flames or firestarters are burned in fireplaces or fire pits to make colored flames. Many recipes or instructions include a dipped wax method but that’s too fussy and messy–this is the easiest preparation method I’ve found.

Careful: Do not mix chemicals together when preparing. Also some advise not to mix colors when burning.
How To Make Pine Cone Flames & Firestarters

Materials Needed:

1 1/2 Gallons Hot Water
1/2 Pound Copper Sulfate (green flame)
1/2 Pound Boric Acid (red flame)
1/2 Pound Calcium Chloride (orange flame)
3 Plastic Containers
Bushel of Pine Cones

Directions:

* Wear rubber gloves when preparing these. Also cover tables and counters well–this stuff can stain.
* Pour 1/2 gallon of water into each plastic container
* Add one chemical to each container (one container for green, one container for red, one container for orange)
* Mix well until all the chemicals are thoroughly dissolved
* Take your pine cones and divide into three batches
* Put one batch into each container. Totally immerse the cones into the liquid and soak them for 24 hours.
* Remove the pine cones and let them dry in the sun or set aside somewhere warm and dry. Don’t burn for at least three days.

More Color Ideas

* Allum (thallium): Bright Green Flame
* Salt Substitute (potassium): Violet Flame
* Epsom Salts (magnesium sulphate): White Flame
* Table Salt: Yellow Flame
* Borax (sodium tetraborate): Yellow/Green Flame

Tips

* Burn the pinecone firestarters one at a time and make sure the cone is completely burned away before adding another.
* Make sure to completely dry the pinecones before using otherwise they won’t burn.
* Keep these out of reach of pets and children.

How To Make Waterproof Matches & Firestarters

Posted By TipNut On March 26, 2007 @ 7:02 am In Household Tips | No Comments

Here are different methods to waterproof your own matches and make firestarters, you should use wood stick matches rather than the cardboard sticks.

Although they’re waterproof, make sure to store them in a sealed, waterproof container. Ziplock bags, old prescription bottles, film canisters and small tins should work just fine.
Waterproof Matches

Method #1

* Dip the first half of the match in melted wax. You can use old candle stubs or canning wax/paraffin wax for this. Dry, then dip the other half to completely seal the match.

Method #2

* Dip the first half of the match in clear nail polish. Dry, then dip the other half to completely seal the match.

Firestarters

* If you want to pack away some firestarters for camping or ‘just in case’ you get stuck in the bush when backpacking or biking, fill the holes of an empty egg carton with sawdust, or dryer lint, or fabric scraps. Pour melted wax over each and let cool. Store in sealed ziploc bags.
* For waterproof firestarters, tightly roll newspapers or fabric scraps about 1 1/2 inches thick and 3 inches long, wind string tightly around the roll to hold the roll together. Completely submerge in melted wax. Dry then store.
* After dipping the matches and rolls, lay them on a sheet of clean wax paper to dry thoroughly. After they are dry, place them in the waterproof container (or ziploc bag) and store away until needed.

Quick Tips For Firestarters

* Firestarter Nut Shells: Don’t toss away peanut shells or shells from other nuts. Store them year round in a big tub and take them camping. Toss the shells in amongst the kindling for a fire and they’ll act as wood chips. You can also use them in the fireplace or in fire pits as fire starter helpers.
* Lemon & Orange Peels: Save your peels from citrus fruits like lemons and oranges. You can toss them in the fire place when you have a fire going to give the room a nice, fresh smell.
* Candle Firestarters: Use the ends of candles as firestarters by placing a couple in the middle of a fireplace wood pile and start the blaze with a little kindling.

How To Build A Fire Pit – Tips & DIY Resource Guide

Posted By TipNut On March 22, 2010 @ 1:33 am In DIY Projects,Outdoors,Popular Tips | 1 Comment

One of the things I enjoy most during the summer is sitting around a fire pit at night visiting with family and friends and having a nice fire going. Marshmallows and hot dogs always seem to taste better when they’re roasted over a fire, don’t you think .
How To Build A Fire Pit

If you’d like to build one for your backyard or out at the lake, here are a few DIY projects that show you step-by-step how to make one:

* If you prefer a steel fire bowl setup, HomeDepot offers this set of instructions: Build A Firepit [1] (pdf download). This is simple to make, you just need some lumber, rocks, sand and screws (as well as the steel bowl and some tools).
* How To: Installing a Fire Pit [2]: A pallet of fieldstone and a bag of concrete makes the perfect gathering place for cool nights, project from HGTV.
* How to Build a Fire Pit [3]: This Old House walks you through the project step-by-step and advises lining the pit with a thick steel ring.
* Better Homes and Gardens has this project for a basic (and cheap!) firepit using manhole blocks topped with fireproof brick capstones: Build Your Own Fire Pit [4].

Tip: If you want to build a fire pit in your backyard, check with your City or Town Hall first (or even the local firehall)–there may be a ban on open fires in your area which means you’ll never be able to use the pit for fires.

Potential Problems: Issues include not setting up the pits far enough away from buildings and trees, but there are also environmental and social concerns that have caused some locales to ban them within city limits (you could trigger a neighbor’s asthma or allergies from the smoke).

If you are legally allowed to have a fire pit in your backyard and you’re confident there won’t be a neighborhood war if you build one, check with your local officials to see what their regulations are for how far to build away from the house (some experts suggest at least 10 ft from the house and 3 ft from outdoor furniture).

Safety Concerns: Since it’s fire you’re dealing with, you do need to take some safety precautions–you can find a few tips for firepits and things to watch for at HomeEnvy: The Magic Of A Good Firepit [5]. Some rules of thumb for fire pit safety:

* Build the fire pit safely away from the house, fence, trees, shrubbery and any outbuildings or furniture.
* Whenever you have a fire going, make sure you have a good source of water within quick reach to put out or dampen a fire that’s getting out of hand.
* Make sure to completely put out the fire when you’re done and never leave the fire unattended.
* Don’t take any chances–if it’s windy out, pass on building a fire until the weather is better suited.
* Small children cannot be allowed to run freely around the fire pit, too easy to trip and fall into the fire.

Campfire Recipes (Perfect For Fire Pits Too!):

* Newspaper Fish Recipe [6]
* Campfire Banana Boat Recipe [7]

Homemade Firestarters

To get those fires started easily, why not make up a bunch of firestarters to have on hand for the upcoming season, here are a couple ways to make them: How To Make Pinecone Flames and Firestarters [8] as well as How To Make Waterproof Matches & Firestarters [9].

Some of my fondest memories growing up include hanging out at our neighbors with a big fire going in their backyard pit…if you’d like to get to know your neighbors better and create some goodwill, this can be a great way to encourage more neighborhood socializing. Start up the fire, get out the marshmallows and invite the neighbors over and enjoy the company (bonus: the kiddos will have a hoot too)!

How To Prepare & Preserve Pine Cones

Posted By TipNut On October 15, 2010 @ 3:59 am In Crafty Ideas | No Comments

Gathering your own pine cones is a great way to save some money on Christmas crafts, plus gives you a little exercise and fresh air while out collecting them.

Gather Up All The Pine Cones You Like And Preserve Them For Craft Use With These Easy Tips

If you’d like to gather your own pine cones to use for crafts like pinecone wreaths and ornaments, you first need to prepare them so they’ll be fully dried, de-sapped and de-bugged. Here are a few tips…
Drying & Opening Pine Cones

* Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and spread pine cones across it in a single layer. Place the pine cones in the oven for 30 minutes or until the cones are fully opened and the sap has melted. Do not leave the oven unsupervised during this time, be alert for smoke or fire.
* Remove from oven and let them rest for a couple days before cutting or using in crafts.
* This drying process will kill any bugs and melt the sap due to the heat. There will be a natural sheen or gloss from the melted sap.

Washing Pine Cones

Instead of oven drying, you could wash then air dry them. Here’s how:

* Wash the pine cones in a sink full of warm water with 1/2 cup to 1 cup of vinegar. Let them soak for 20 to 30 minutes. Make sure all the sap has been washed away. This washing process will debug the pinecones as well.
* Lay down two or three layers of newspapers on the workspace that you will be drying the pine cones on. After soaking, rinse the cones in fresh water then lay the cleaned pine cones on the newspapers in a single layer. Allow to dry for 3 or 4 days.
* The cones should be fully opened when they are completely dry. There will be no sheen to these since the sap has been washed away rather than melted into the cones.

How To Bleach Pine Cones White

* Use a 50/50 mix of water and chlorine bleach. Soak the pine cones in the bleach solution for 8 to 9 hours. Remove the pinecones from the bleach, rinse off in fresh water then lay them out in a single layer to dry in the sun.
* The bleach will kill all bugs.

Preserving The Pine Cones

* After the pine cones have been fully dried, de-bugged and opened, you can spray them with a clear acrylic spray, polyurethane or spray varnish. It doesn’t have to be a heavy coat, but try to ensure the pine cone is fully and evenly covered (don’t miss the bottom).

If you’re going to use pinecones for outdoor crafts such as bird feeders [1], or to use as firestarters [2], you don’t need to clean and prepare them first.

If you use them in homemade potpourri recipes [3], clean them but don’t preserve with any type of spray.

25 Ways To Make Bread Pudding: {Recipes}

Posted By TipNut On October 14, 2010 @ 1:08 pm In Recipes | No Comments

Although bread pudding is a love-it or hate-it kinda dish, it’s something I recommend you not give up on because there are so many different ways you can make it. It’s also a great solution for using up bread and odd bits from the fridge that need to be consumed soon before their time is up. You can try a sweet, custard dessert version or a cheesy, savory side dish for meals. For this week’s Recipe Hit List I’ve handpicked over two dozen recipes from around the net to give you plenty of ideas and inspiration for making this classic favorite, enjoy!

Make A Tasty Pumpkin Bread Pudding With This Easy Recipe From bakedbree.com
Homemade Bread Pudding Recipes

*Note: Descriptions below are quotes from the recipe sites

1. Pumpkin Bread Pudding [1]: (as seen in picture above) What I really love about this pumpkin bread pudding is that it is really easy to make, but is the texture and the spice that do me in. The toasted pecans and the chewy pieces of crystallized ginger add just enough crunch and texture to make this bread pudding truly special. Recipe from Baked Bree.
2. Savoury Bread Pudding [2]: Some recipes will require the pudding be baked in a water bath but this recipe doesn’t require that step, the addition of cream and half and half adds richness and creaminess to this dish. Ingredients include mushrooms, shallots, garlic, fresh parsley. Recipe from My Feasts.
3. Savory Spinach and Artichoke Bread Pudding [3]: From Emeril Lagasse, Food Network.
4. Blackberry Bread Pudding [4]: Recipe from Wild Yeast.
5. Bread Pudding with Apples, Pecans and Raisins [5]: Delight guests with this fruity bread pudding made with our signature Cinnamon Raisin bread. From Panera Bread.
6. Savory Bacon Bread Pudding [6]: Bacon, egg, feta and nutty oat bread nestled with herbs in a muffin tin made a superior bread pudding, in my opinion anyway. These are perfect made ahead for busy mornings, as a brunch dish or as breakfast for dinner. Recipe from Hey What’s For Dinner Mom.
7. Cinnamon-Caramel Bread Pudding [7]: From Fodder & Libations.
8. Butternut Squash and Cheddar Bread Pudding [8]: I stumbled upon this recipe for butternut squash and cheddar bread pudding and so I figured I had to go for it. It sounded absolutely perfect for the occasion- delicious seasonal Jersey fresh squash and hearty enough to make a meal for my favorite all veggie loving friend. Recipe from Pretty in Pork.
9. Depression Bread Pudding [9]: This is one of those classic “make do” recipes. At some point, there was this lady who was trying to make ends meet and needed to use up some leftover bread buns in addition to feeding her family. She whipped this up and a classic was born. I also call this “depression food” as it was just the type of dish which was born out of the necessity of hard times. Recipe from Southern Plate.
10. Raspberry Bread Pudding [10]: The recipe is loaded with cream and butter-a good sign for your taste buds, maybe not your hips:) If you want to indulge, go ahead and use cream. We lightened up the recipe by using 2% milk and it was still really rich. The red raspberries add nice color and a burst of robust flavor to the bread pudding. The vanilla cream sauce takes this dessert over the top! We drizzled a spoonful over each serving of bread pudding. This dessert is decadent and comforting. Found at Two Peas And Their Pod.
11. Savory Bread Pudding with Vegetables [11]: There’s a million ways you could make a savory bread pudding with vegetables and even cooked meats, determined by what’s in your kitchen, garden, or what was on your plate the day before. Recipe from Lunch At Sixpoint.
12. Apricot and Raisin Bread Pudding [12]: This was good, just like French toast. I loved the crunchy top and sides, and the creamy inside. Anything warm and comforting is a good start to your day. Recipe from She Eats Bears.
13. Two Cheese, Mushroom & Chard Bread Pudding [13]: Recipe from Last Night’s Dinner.
14. Pumpkin Spice Bread Pudding with Rummy Raisins [14]: The bread pudding turned out well, and as good as it was straight from the oven, I thought it was even better the next day when I warmed it up for lunch. Maybe all those flavors needed a chance to meld, or maybe I was just really, really hungry and anything sweet would have tasted like heaven. (That happens a lot). Recipe from Under The High Chair.
15. Apple-Cranberry Bread Pudding [15]: Celebrate the autumn harvest with this tangy-sweet, smooth and creamy bread pudding. From King Arthur Flour.
16. Cherry Custardy Bread Pudding [16]: Made with fresh cherries. From Luscious.
17. Apple, Pecans & Caramel Bread Pudding [17]: It tastes luscious and great and appley and pecany and bread puddingy and custardy. Recipe from Luscious.
18. Easy Bread Pudding with Almond Streusel [18]: leftover bread dries out so quickly that we just don’t make use of it and I feel awful everytime I pitch the remains in the garbage. I normally don’t like bread pudding…so I don’t know what possessed me to make this yesterday but I’m glad I did. I think I might be reformed. I love this bread pudding. It wasn’t overly soggy or wet and the streusel topping is a must, in my opinion! From Little Spatula.
19. Sweet Potato Bread Pudding with Toasted Marshmallows [19]: You will probably either love this dessert and know where I’m coming from, or hate it. Depends on whether you’re the person that likes sweet potatoes with marshmallows on top, or the person that hates sweet potatoes with marshmallows on top and think it’s tacky and wrong. Recipe from Sugar Plum.
20. Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding [20]: This dessert is just delicious. It has so many components and they each stand out on their own, but the recipe is quite simple and straight forward. The sauce is the show stopper though. It is so deep, delicious, sweet and you want more. The whiskey flavor is very subtle, but as you lick the last bits of sauce from your plate you will taste it ever so slightly. Recipe from Natalie’s Killer Cuisine.
21. Chocolate Croissant Bread Pudding [21]: Let’s not kid ourselves. I can just sit here and eat the 8 chocolate croissants and call it a day. But I needed a dish to SHARE. This one works really well. From Just Jenn Recipes.
22. Leek Bread Pudding [22]: For breakfast, you can toss some bacon or hash browns on top. You can even fry an egg on top, I know it is redundant because there are eggs inside but I won’t tell anyone, drippy yolks are important to people like me. For lunch, you can eat your slice with a pile of lightly dressed greens and a slip of proscuitto. Recipe from Smitten Kitchen.
23. Nutella Bread Pudding [23]: Not only is this recipe a delicious way to clean out your pantry (I used soy milk and leftover Nutella babka), but it’s low in fat, too. Recipe from Su Good Treats.
24. Apple and Maple Bread Pudding [24]: Cooking the bread pudding in a loaf pan gives it a modern, bakery-style look. For a more decadent dessert, serve with vanilla ice cream. Recipe from Bon Appetit.
25. Sweet Bread Pudding [25]: You can add more spices, including a small grating of nutmeg, chopped crystallized ginger, raisins or prunes soaked in Armagnac. As for the bread, fluffy packaged white bread disappears; the crusts of crisp baguettes and peasant breads never become tender. Stale challah is best. Recipe from The New York Times.

25 Homemade Pumpkin Bread Recipes: {Fall Goodness}

Posted By TipNut On September 16, 2010 @ 1:02 pm In Recipes | 1 Comment

This week’s Recipe Hit List features a yummy autumn favorite: Pumpkin Bread. I’ve hand-picked over two dozen recipes from around the net, each promising to be a delicious comfort food addition to your Fall menu (there’s even a healthified version or two included). Enjoy!

Make This Streusel Topped Pumpkin Bread With Recipe By visionsofsugarplum.com
Homemade Pumpkin Bread Recipes

*Note: Descriptions below are quotes from the recipe sites

1. Toasted Hazelnut Streusel Pumpkin Bread [1]: (as seen in picture above) I baked this bread a few weeks ago when pumpkin was still available, and it is very scrumptious. It’s moist and flavorful with spices and molasses. It’s topped with a hazelnut streusel made out of toasted hazelnuts, brown sugar, butter and oats. Perfect for autumn. Happy autumn! From Sugar Plum.
2. Cream Cheese Rippled Pumpkin Bread [2]: I’ve made this pumpkin bread every autumn since 2005. I still have the same recipe that I printed out in 7th grade, and it hasn’t changed a bit (besides an orange smudge in the corner.) It’s just that good. This pumpkin bread is very moist, with just enough spice and pumpkin flavor. The cream cheese ripple is so, so good – if I would change anything, I might double the cream cheese filling. From 17 and Baking.
3. Pumpkin Pecan Swirl Bread [3]: The bread is not predominantly pumpkin flavored, but rather, the pumpkin adds to the moisture of the bread and compliments all the wonderful fall flavors. The cinnamon swirl is to die for and ends up caramelizing a good amount of the crunchy pecans. Although sweet, it ends up being not too sugary for a wonderful breakfast with coffee and definitely a favorite for after a meal. Certainly worth trying, as this bread is proven to go quickly. From Good Things Catered.
4. Pumpkin Bread [4]: I genuinely love foods made with pumpkin. Like most people I rarely make foods containing pumpkin outside of the autumn months, but why? I know I always cook with canned pumpkin which is available year round and I assume I am not the only one who uses canned pumpkin. This time I decided I would not wait until fall and I made a delicious batch of pumpkin bread. From Baked Perfection.
5. Pumpkin Pie Bread [5]: I kept tasting pumpkin pie with every bite of this moist and delicious tea bread, hence the name. I baked it in my Breadman bread machine but you could also bake it in a conventional oven. Just be sure it bakes long enough- I’m guessing, about 50 minutes up to an hour at 350 degrees F. This is a large loaf. From Gluten Free Goddess.
6. Pumpkin Bread [6]: I was expecting something dense, moist and sweet, but surprisingly, the bread was soft, light and even fluffy…and it was not sweet, it tasted almost like a plain loaf of soft white bread. There’s no trace of the pumpkin at all, if not for the deep yellow hue, you wouldn’t know it’s made with mashed pumpkin! Nevertheless, I like the texture of the bread and the slightly crisp crust and the pumpkin seeds were very fragrant. The bread tasted good lightly toasted and buttered. I must say it’s a great healthy choice of bread for breakfast From Happy Home Baking.
7. No-Knead Pumpkin Loaf [7]: I made this loaf a few months ago. And I’m happy to report that my first experience baking no-knead bread was a great success! I chose to include the following flavors — pumpkin and pumpkin seeds, rosemary, and walnut. It’s a hefty little thing . . . and I think it tastes best toasted and generously topped with this on-the-fly sweet pumpkin butter I whipped up (recipe also below). From (never home)maker.
8. Grand Central Bakery Pumpkin Bread [8]: Yield 2 loaves. From Culinate.
9. Pumpkin Apple Bread [9]: There are no tricks to making these delicious loaves as long as you don’t cut the apples in too large a dice. The cake-like bread keeps extraordinarily well and is perfect for toting to meetings or other functions when you are responsible for providing cake or cookies. I know you’ll like this simple spicy bread. Here’s the recipe. From One Perfect Bite.
10. Cloud Topped Pumpkin Loaf [10]: The top tastes like cheesecake but it’s light and puffy, almost like a richer, cheesecake flavored meringue. Then, if you refrigerate it, it starts tasting more like a pumpkin bread with cheesecake on top. This would be a killer Thanksgiving dessert if you’re looking for something different, very different. From Food Mayhem.
11. Old-Fashioned Pumpkin Nut Loaf Bread [11]: Ever since I found this recipe online at Libbys.com (now it’s meals.com) 6 years ago, I make at least 4 loaves every Fall. It’s easy, nutritious and delicious. Found at New York Chica.
12. Pumpkin Nutella Bread [12]: If you like pumpkin chocolate chip bread, I have a feeling you will love pumpkin Nutella bread. Recipe from Two Peas And Their Pod.
13. Cream Cheese Pumpkin Bread [13]: From Cooking With Paula Deen.
14. Healthy Makeover Pumpkin Bread [14]: Healthy Makeover: Treat family and friends to our slimmed-down quick bread. Gone are the traditional version’s 3 grams of saturated fat and all the cholesterol (thanks to egg whites and a blend of low-fat yogurt and canola oil). No one will suspect you’ve tinkered — a slice is that good! Recipe from Delish.
15. Orange Date Pumpkin Bread [15]: From Better Homes and Gardens.
16. Ginger Pumpkin Braid [16]: This is a ginger pumpkin braid that spawned from a lonely can of solid pack pumpkin in my cupboard. It’s a hearty, pumpkiny loaf spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and ginger, and is a festive addition to any dinner table. Or dessert table, for that matter. Found at Toxo Bread.
17. Pumpkin Coconut Bread [17]: I love pumpkin. I love coconut. But I don’t think I’d ever had them together! But this bread combines them beautifully. Neither flavor overtakes the other, but they combine in harmony. From Taste and Tell.
18. Pumpkin Honey Beer Bread [18]: This bread makes 2 loaves so consider halving the recipe if you’re unable to consume 2 whole loaves with your husband alone. We don’t have these problems! Enjoy and don’t forget to read the ingredient list before proceeding From Culinary Adventures Of A New Wife.
19. Spiced Pumpkin Bread [19]: The bread by itself was fantastic and slightly on the sweeter side. Its bit chewy with beautiful texture thanks to the addition of wheat bran. Use of Egg whites instead of whole eggs – enhances nutrition without adding any fat. It also contributes to the moistness of the bread along with healthy Canola Oil. The spices add a wonderful aroma and flavor to the bread. From Chef In You.
20. Olive Oil Pumpkin Bread [20]: One of the highest and best uses of pumpkin purée is my friend Vivian’s ancient family recipe for pumpkin bread. It uses delicately flavored olive oil and plenty of warm winter spices and has a truly exceptional flavor and texture. I’ve been wanting to share this recipe with you since before The Crisper Whisperer was a reality. I’m so glad it’s time. Found at Serious Eats.
21. Holiday Pumpkin Bread [21]: This mahogany-gold wreath is dense and moist, mildly spicy, and utterly tasty. The recipe makes two loaves; enjoy one, and give the other away. From King Arthur Flour.
22. Miniature Pumpkin Breads [22]: The recipe itself can be made both vegan or non-vegan (I chose the vegan route since that is how it was originally and because I only had one egg in the fridge). Also, the recipe is for two regular-sized loaves, so feel free to cut it in half to make one loaf or mini loaves like I did (just cut the baking time in half also for the small ones). Oh yes, and these turned out delicious and very moist. Autumn, I love you. Recipe from Bread & Honey.
23. Pumpkin Bread With Brown Butter Glaze [23]: I got back into the swing of things today, by making this amazing Pumpkin Bread with Brown Butter Glaze. It’s probably the best pumpkin bread I’ve ever had, so tender and moist. And because I’m sort of obsessed with brown butter right now, I threw together a frosting-like glaze for the top. The bread is great without it, but I think the glaze adds an unexpected element that really brings it to another level, more cake-like. If you glaze it while it’s still warm the brown butter flavor seeps into the bread, it’s heavenly. From Honey & Jam.
24. Ginger Pumpkin Bread Recipe [24]: From Martha Stewart.
25. Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Nut Bread Recipe [25]: Anyway, this is one of those autumnal foods that I love so much. Chocolate chip pumpkin nut bread. It’s called bread but it’s really like cake. Like pumpkin spice cake filled with deliciousness. It’s incredibly moist and well, just tasty. From Joyful Abode.

20 Zucchini Bread Recipes To Try

Posted By TipNut On July 23, 2009 @ 1:07 pm In Recipes | 4 Comments

Zucchini fresh from the garden is bountiful this time of year and making batches of homemade zucchini bread is a favorite way to use up the harvest. This week’s Recipe Hit List is a collection of recipes I’ve found online featuring many different ways to make zucchini bread: Traditional, Chocolate, Pineapple, Spiced and a few healthy versions too (including whole wheat flour). Enjoy!
Zucchini Bread Recipes

*Note: Descriptions below are quotes from the recipe sites

Zucchini Bread Recipe By 101cookbooks.com

1. My Special Zucchini Bread Recipe Recipe [1]: I knew I was onto something delicious as I folded the last few ingredients into my zucchini bread batter this afternoon. Sometimes you just know. The thick and creamy batter was flecked with hundreds of green-lined strands of shredded zucchini nestled alongside the occasional flare of yellow lemon zest. The poppy seeds quickly spread themselves into an impossible network of connect-the dots, and at the same time, one of my favorite curry powders was sending notes of coriander, cumin, and clove up from the mixing bowl to tease my nose. There are many zucchini bread recipes out there, plenty of them tried and true, but this time around I wanted to bring my own take to this seasonal classic. Recipe from 101 Cookbooks.
2. Grandma E’s Zucchini Bread [2]: Let’s give credit where credit is due. This isn’t her recipe, it’s her grandma’s recipe. Grandma had the magic touch. She didn’t measure anything, she just threw it together by feel and golden loaves of goodness emerged from her kitchen. Perfect every time. Recipe found at Use Real Butter.
3. Zucchini Bread Recipe [3]: Zucchini, also known as a courgette, has a smooth dark green skin that is not removed before grating as we want to see its pretty shreds of green running through the bread. The flavor of zucchini is often described as ‘delicate’ which means it will add little flavor to a dish, but what it lacks in flavor it more than makes up for with its lovely moist texture. This recipe is slightly different from most in that we also add grated apple. Recipe found at Joy Of Baking.
4. Chocolate Zucchini Bread [4]: (incorporates both all-purpose and whole wheat flour) In this recipe remake, we replaced much of the oil with fruit-based fat replacement, reduced the amount of unsweetened chocolate but added cocoa powder and used half as many nuts but toasted them for maximum flavor. The result retained the original’s tender crumb and rich, chocolaty flavor with only one-third the fat. Recipe found at Eating Well.
5. Chocolate Zucchini Bread with Cherries [5]: This is a great bread to give as a gift, especially if you make smaller loaves (just bake them a shorter time), or you can freeze some for that far off time when garden fresh zucchini and sweet, dark cherries are just fond memories. Recipe from Feeding My Enthusiasms.
6. Geeky Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread [6]: Most zucchini breads are essentially run of the mill spice breads with zucchini tossed in. Nothing wrong with that, it’s just that I saw an opportunity to introduce the sweet, sweet seduction of chocolate into the mix. After all, there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t try to come up with a chocolate treat to accompany my morning coffee…and if it also incorporates a veggie…well then it was truly meant to be. This bread packs a double chocolate whammy with cocoa and chocolate chips. So when you’re at the farmers’ markets this weekend pickup some zucchini and mix it up. Recipe found at What Geeks Eat.
7. Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread [7]: Recipe from Paula Deen.
8. Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread [8]: I decided to try to lighten up another favorite recipe. We all loved the results! Two-third cup of the oil was replaced with applesauce, the sugar decreased and whole wheat flour added. I have found that using mini chocolate chips somehow makes it seems there is more chocolate then regular size chips. Recipe from Home Joys.
9. Pineapple Zucchini Bread Recipe [9]: Meals are even more memorable when I complement them with this light garden-fresh bread. The zucchini makes it so moist and tender…and the pineapple lends a delicate tropical twist to every delicious slice. Recipe found at Taste Of Home.
10. Makeover Pineapple Zucchini Bread [10]: This lightened-up bread features a crunchy crust and delectable taste. Our pros achieved the moist center Nancy Skramsted of Billings, Montana was looking for. And it definitely tastes delicious, even though more than half the fat and over a third of the calories went missing from the original. Recipe from Taste Of Home.
11. Gluten Free Zucchini Bread [11]: This bread turned out really well. It’s a bit dense, but then what gluten free quickbread isn’t? It’s not dry or crumbly at all, it really has a nice texture and moisture content, which I am attributing to the applesauce and zucchini. It worked really well for breakfast with butter and raspberry jam this morning, and, for a slightly different twist, it makes some awesome sandwich bread! Recipe from Jenn Cuisine.
12. Low Fat Zucchini Bread [12]: I’ve removed all of the oil from the original recipe and replaced it with unsweetened apple sauce. From there, I reduced the sugar because the applesauce adds natural sweetener. What you’re left with is a delicious zucchini bread that’s not too sweet, but is wonderfully moist with a good mouth-feel. Recipe from A Healthy Kitchen.
13. Whole Wheat Zucchini Bread [13]: One thing to keep in mind when making this bread. It’s not a super sweet loaf, and I’ve made it that way by design. I like to eat it for breakfast, and at that time of the day, I don’t want to be eating cake. However, if you want a more assertively sweet flavor, I’d add another 1/2 cup of sucanat or sugar (or just spread your slice with a bit of peach or apricot jam). Recipe from Food In Jars.
14. Fat Free Zucchini Bread [14]: (incorporates whole wheat flour or spelt) You can also make muffins using this recipe, but the bake time will be much less, approx. 12-17 minutes. Recipe from Happy Herbivore.
15. 100% Whole Wheat Maple Zucchini Bread [15]: It’s really hard to find a recipe that uses 100% whole wheat flour, people just seem afraid that the result will be inedible without some refined, bleached flour. In the pursuit of a healthier, happier zucchini bread, I decided to take on those critics. Also, I still have the better half of a 50 lb bag of whole wheat flour in my kitchen cupboard. Full disclosure. Recipe found at Lemonbasil.
16. Zucchini-Pecan-Flaxseed Bread [16]: This one is hearty and tender and complex. The chopped pecans distributed through the batter and the whole pecans that bake atop the loaf lend a nice meatiness, while a dusting of raw sugar imparts a shimmer and a sweet crunch. And, like I said, it’s earnest enough for the Fifth, Sixth or Seventh of July. Recipe from The Kitchen Sink Recipes.
17. Jennifer Z.’s Zucchini Lemon Bread [17]: Everyone knows the classic thing to do with all that local zucchini in the summer is make zucchini bread. It is (kind of ) nutritious, it is delicious with endless variations, and it freezes well. But it also seems to be frequently fragrant with autumnal spices. There is nothing inherently wrong with this–in fact it can be quite yummy. But honestly it is not what I want in early August. I remembered these incredible Lime Zucchini cookies I had once and started thinking about citrus and zucchini. Recipe found at The Spiced Life.
18. Zucchini Spice Bread [18]: If you plan to bake this bread in a smaller loaf pan, be sure to fill it no more than three-quarters full to prevent the batter from overflowing in the oven. Recipe from Martha Stewart.
19. Savory Onion Zucchini Bread [19]: This bread is a bit more versatile in that it can stand in for any bread or cracker at mealtime or snack time. I like it it much more a day after it has baked than I do when it’s fresh out of the oven and I like it even more when it is toasted and smeared with butter or chevre. Recipe found at What Geeks Eat.
20. Zucchini Cheddar Bread [20]: This bread is savory and delicious. I substituted onions for the scallions and left out the parsley, and it came out wonderfully. Plus, it’s totally gorgeous, the green and the orange. Recipe found at Honey & Jam.

35 Banana Bread Recipes To Try: Yum!

Posted By TipNut On August 6, 2009 @ 1:03 pm In Recipes | No Comments

This week’s Recipe Hit List is a whopping collection of banana bread recipes I’ve found around the ‘net. A few are the basic banana breads with traditional ingredients that promise to be deliciously moist & dense, others kick things up a notch with ingredient additions such as Cherries, Lemon, Mango, Peanut Butter, Ginger, Coconut, Chocolate, Coffee and more. I also included a few recipes that are tweaked to be healthier or using whole wheat flour. Quite the selection! Two weeks ago I compiled a collection of zucchini bread recipes [1] and it’s been very popular with many emails requesting a list for banana bread so here it is–enjoy!
Banana Bread Recipes

*Note: Descriptions below are quotes from the recipe sites

Banana Bread Recipe By andreasrecipes.com

1. Banana Bread Recipe [2]: (as seen in picture) I searched for a very long time for a banana bread recipe that satisfied me. Some recipes turned out too dry, and others were so moist that the inside took forever to finish cooking (or never did). After many, many banana bread experiments, I settled on this recipe, and this is our “house” banana bread recipe now. My family loves it, and my boys can’t keep their fingers off of it when I’m cutting slices. Recipe found at Andrea’s Recipes.
2. How To Make Banana Bread [3]: Leave it to southerners to find a way to make something delicious out of rotting fruit. Alright so “ripe” bananas aren’t exactly rotting but if you’ve seen the state of some bananas that have been behind this moist and delicious creation, you’d know what I mean. Recipe from Southern Plate.
3. Banana Bread [4]: Banana bread is oh-so-simple… yet like many simple recipes, requires a few out of the ordinary ingredients to bring it from potentially boring to memorable. A hint of spice, honey for sweetness and moist texture, and one final touch—a few spoonfuls of jam—distinguish this tasty bread from run-of-the-mill versions. Recipe from King Arthur Flour.
4. Banana Bread [5]: In the never ending quest to use up extremely ripe bananas, I found another recipe for banana bread. So this one is now my absolute favorite. but there are millions more recipes out there, and tons more over ripe bananas in my future I’m sure. So I keep looking, and keep trying. If I buy less bananas, there’s never enough. If I buy more, they rot. We’ve loved banana bread, a hundred different ways! With rum, no rum, with nuts, no nuts, oil, no oil. This one is different. No oil, but melted butter. and brown sugar! So good. Recipe found at There’s Always Thyme To Cook.
5. Sourdough Banana Bread Recipe [6]: This is an outstanding sourdough banana bread that I would like to pass on. This came from Don and Myrtle Holm’s Sourdough Cookbook in 1972. I have used it many times with excellent results. Recipe found at The Fresh Loaf.
6. Buttermilk Banana Bread [7]: I have made a lot of banana bread over the years and I have to say this is one of the better versions I have made. The banana flavor is light and delicate, but still clearly there. The texture is soft and moist without being oily in any way and the edges are just firm enough to allow even and smooth slicing, without being tough. Recipe found at The Biscuit Pusher.
7. Sour Cream Banana Bread [8]: But seriously, this banana bread recipe is the BEST! I have made this banana bread for years. The recipe came from one of those little softcover recipe books you can buy in the grocery store line. Recipe from Your Home Based Mom.
8. Bourbon-spiked Banana Bread [9]: I’m not sure where the idea of putting bourbon into banana bread came from, but I’m glad I did it – the bread gave off a deep caramel aroma and it accentuated the sweetness of the banana. In my now-predicable move, I substituted cranberries for walnuts as I greatly prefer more tart to my quick-breads and because I have my cranberry supply to go through. Recipe from Sassy Radish.
9. Banana Bread with Cinnamon Crumble Topping [10]: “I like banana bread, but I always thought it needed a little something more,” says Alison Barakat, owner of Bakesale Betty bakery in Oakland, California. So she added honey and cinnamon to the batter and topped it with a cinnamon-brown sugar crumble. “It’s a cross between banana bread and coffee cake,” she says. Recipe from Bon Appetit.
10. Banana Bread with Walnut Coffee Crumble [11]: I love having a slice of banana bread with coffee for breakfast! It’s a bit indulgent which is probably why I love it so much. I’ve always liked banana and coffee as a flavor combination so I decided to modify my classic banana bread recipe and include a walnut coffee crumble on the top. The results were fantastic! Recipe from Over The Hill And On A Roll.
11. Deliciously Light Banana Oat Bread Recipe [12]: When I feel like I have mastered a recipe, I often don’t go back and take a look at new recipes for that particular dish. After all, if you are making the best there is, why would you ever explore anything new? That is how I felt about my banana bread recipe. It was the perfect recipe and it has never failed me. It is not the most figure-friendly though and so when I ran across this recipe from Cooking Light, I knew I would have to try it. I modified the recipe to our taste and what we had in our cupboard and what came from that little experimentation resulted in this perfectly perfect absolutely amazing banana bread recipe that will be replacing my old version. Recipe from Mom Advice.
12. Coconut Banana Bread with Lime Glaze [13]: It makes for a great gift for new or old mothers, new and old neighbors, basically, I would give this bread to anyone, anywhere and they would be glad to get it. I love the combination of coconut and lime and that is exactly what is going on here. The glaze is delightful, the bread is moist and you can’t really ask for anything else in a quick bread recipe. Plus, it is a little bit healthier than some of the other banana bread recipes because it has a little less butter and some plain yogurt added in there. The recipe suggests subbing apple juice for the rum and that is what I always do. Recipe found at Meet Me In The Kitchen.
13. Banana Coconut Almond Bread [14]: Even though the blogosphere is teeming with banana bread recipes, this one’s too good not to share. Made with aromatic toasted coconut, crunchy almonds, and creamy coconut milk, it’s one unforgettably moist, delicious banana bread. Recipe found at Food Blogga.
14. Banana Walnut Bread [15]: Today, I thought I would share with you my take of a classic bread – Banana Bread! One of my all-time favorite loafs and a great way to use ripened bananas. Every now and again I feel the need to add some nuts to my Banana Bread recipe for a different texture and flavor combination. With this loaf I chose the “Walnut”. Recipe from ZestyCook.
15. Banana Mango Bread [16]: The original recipe is from a Cooking Light recipe. I made a few changes to come up with a lowfat alternative with a great mango twist (I think I am still stuck on mango from the past food challenges). The coffeemaker brewed a terrific cup, the bread was moist and spicy and the morning was clear and warm. What a great start to our day! Recipe from My Plate, My World.
16. Orange Spice Banana Bread [17]: I think all you need to know to be convinced of the greatness of this recipe is that I loved this bread, and I don’t even like bananas (or banana bread). Recipe from goodLife {eats}.
17. Banana-Lemon Bread [18]: You can omit the lemon rind and add in a good handful (1/2 cup) of mini chocolate chips to the batter just before pouring it into the loaf pan. The regular chips will sink to the bottom so make sure to use the minis. Recipe from FamilyFood.
18. Blueberry-Banana Bread [19]: Get two fruits in one great-tasting quick bread. Savor this sweet, tempting bread all by yourself, or give it as a gift during the holidays. Recipe from Betty Crocker.
19. Dried Cherry & Pecan Banana Bread [20]: It’s impossible to eat only one slice of this bread. So moist, not too dense, and full of tart cherries and crunchy nuts. Recipe found at My Gourmet Love Affair.
20. Cherry-Walnut Banana Bread [21]: I threw in my own twist: dried cherries. This was a last minute decision on my part. I was trying to decide whether or not to include dates when I remembered that I had a package of dried cherries I’d bought to make Pop-Ems. So I threw them in. Feel free to throw them out, but be warned–you’ll be missing a treat if you do. The cherries add a wonderful sweet-tart taste to the bread that you might not want to miss. Recipe from FatFree Vegan Kitchen.
21. Currant and Walnut Banana Bread [22]: In my opinion, one of the most important things about banana bread (besides having really ripe bananas) is to make sure you address texture along with taste. The bananas have good flavor, but your bread will be kind of mushy if you don’t add in some nice textures. The currants in this recipe give some chewiness to the bread and the walnuts give a bit of crunch. Honestly, it’s a pretty fantastic loaf. Recipe from Macheesmo.
22. Mom’s Banana Apple Bread [23]: What makes this particular banana bread extra-special are the bits of caramelized apple throughout. Most banana bread has a pretty good shelf life and can even get better after a day of so. This one is no exception, as the sweet apples just meld more into the spiced bread. Recipe found at A Whisk And A Spoon.
23. Zucchini Banana Bread [24]: Recipe makes three small loaves, but they freeze very well. Recipe from Taste of Home.
24. Mocha Banana Bread: Recipe [25]: If tropical flavors work well together why not throw in a few more? Namely vanilla and cocoa. The result is a mocha flavored banana bread. Perfect with a cup of cocoa or coffee. I hope you like it as much as I do! Found at Cooking With Amy.
25. Banana Bread with Chocolate and Crystallized Ginger [26]: I wouldn’t have ever thought to put little chunks of crystallized ginger into a quick bread but it is fantastic. Recipe from Whitney In Chicago.
26. Chocolate Coconut Banana Bread [27]: The chocolate and coconut and banana flavours all meld nicely together. The chocolate chips and banana chunks on top of the cake add lovely little rich bursts of flavour. As Karen suggests the best results come from using good quality cocoa and chocolate. And the riper the bananas the better. The crumb is moist and dense. It’s a little crumbly when first out of the oven, but seems to condense down as it cools. Recipe found at A Cracking Good Egg.
27. Black-and-White Banana Loaf [28]: When I first saw this cake, it reminded me of the marbled loaf cake at Starbucks, as well as the banana chocolate chip cake, one of my favorites! Recipe from A Year In The Kitchen.
28. Peanut Butter Banana Bread Recipe [29]: I think everybody needs a little peanut butter in their life, and this Banana Bread recipe has just enough. (Although, I bet if you want it even more peanut-buttery you could up the dose to 5 Tablespoons.) Recipe found at Dinner’s On Me!
29. Peanut Butter Banana Bread [30]: As good as this bread is fresh from the oven, I like it even better the next day. Wrapped well, you can easily pack a slice for a snack or even send a loaf in the mail; it is sturdy and tastes better with age. If you need a treat, try toasting a slice and spreading it with a layer of peanut butter or jelly. Recipe found at Big City, Little Kitchen.
30. Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread [31]: The bread is sweetened with only brown sugar, contains no butter, and uses 100% whole grain flour. And this bread needs nothing to accompany it. I tried it with plain peanut butter, cinnamon raisin peanut butter, plain cream cheese, cinnamon raisin cream cheese and lastly butter. The butter was the best, but I liked it plain even more. I recommend making these a day ahead of time because they become even more moist and delicious. Just slice it up and microwave each slice for about 7 seconds. It also freezes wonderfully. Recipe found at The Peanut Butter Boy.
31. Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chip Banana Bread [32]: Try this peanut butter-chocolate chip banana bread recipe and I guarantee you’ll never use your old banana bread recipe again. This bread isn’t dense and soggy like most banana bread recipes, and it’s more flavorful with the addition of peanut butter and chocolate chips, and a sprinkling of raw sugar on top. Recipe found at Sugar Plum.
32. Butterscotch Banana Bread [33]: This banana bread will take you to a whole other banana bread level–yes it’s that good! I know I raved about my last banana bread, and yes, it was good, but this one, I’m telling you is the bomb. Why? Well, the flavor of the butterscotch is so gentle and melds so perfectly with the banana. I think the trick was finding the right amount of butterscotch to put in, and of course the mascarpone cheese adds a lot of smoothness. You know how the flavor of butterscotch chips is kind of strong and chemicaly-testing? Well, I added just the right amount of butterscotch chips to meld perfectly with the bananas, and cheese to give it a wonderful light-sugary, banana taste. The taste is so hard to describe, but trust me, this banana bread is fabulous. No butter or cream cream will be needed on your slice of this. Recipe from Vanilla Sugar.
33. Lower-Fat Banana Bread [34]: I seriously cannot get over how tasty this banana bread is and want to share it with the whole wide world (err, web). If you’re not a believer of vegan, this will surely make you one, I swear. At first I had my doubts about this recipe. “Lower Fat Banana Bread” with only 10 ingredients and barely any oil involved? Just the basics of what you need in any banana bread recipe, except this calls for one magical ingredient: APPLESAUCE! Applesauce is an amazing ingredient to substitute for oil. It gives such a great flavor and texture and no one will even know. Recipe found at The Baking Bird.
34. Eggless Banana Bread [35]: Who does not love a simple Banana Bread, this has been baking in my house for don’t know how long, this was the second bread I learnt to bake the first was chocolate cake. I love when bananas turn black cause then I know exactly what I want to do with them. We have been baking them egg less since mama does not eat anything that contains egg. This is my mama’s recipe this is how I learnt it and this is how I always bake it every single time and yet not so bored of it. Recipe found at Cook With Love.
35. Whole Grain Banana Bread Recipe [36]: You can ferment quick breads (banana bread, cornbread, muffins) with yogurt to get a silky rich tender nubbly bread, with all the germ and bran melted into a creamy batter. Recipe from Paprika.

Savory Bread Pudding with Everything

IMG_6051

This follows the same sort of principle as my fried rice post a while back: you take a stale grain (in this case, a loaf of bread), and revive it with everything and anything that’s ripe, or just around. It could be everything that’s past ripe, and needs to get used up soon. Works just as well, since you won’t be seeing them crisp and fresh here in the end.

Nope, these vegetables get muddled into the mess — an oozing bath of bread cubes soaked with eggs and milk. Baked, all of their flavors seep together into the most savory blend. Ratatouille with leftover bread? That could be another way of putting it. Of course, a ton of fresh herbs is also responsible for making it so delicious.

IMG_6030

In a sweet versus savory showdown, I’m a savory person through and through. So as much as I love making dessert bread pudding with fresh fruit — and love the economy of it — this is the version that I’d rather eat every day, for the rest of my life, if I had to choose one. The texture of the bread soaked in eggs is just the same in either one, and it’s truly custard or pudding-like. Stale bread just seems to work best for this, because it holds up better with a good soak.

IMG_6023

The type of bread you choose, and how stale it is, affects the end product a lot. For savory bread puddings, I like sourdoughs and ryes, something with a more hefty, savory flavor. This time, I used about half of what appeared to be a country rye loaf lying out (someone else had bought it, to eat with all those herbed butters), but was at least two or three days past baking. The key to getting the bread to become custard-like is to really drench it in your egg and milk mixture, and let it soak well before using. You can even start soaking it the night before. I put a bowl over the top of the bowl once I smushed all the bread into the liquid, to keep the top pieces from poking out.

IMG_6032

IMG_6037

IMG_6034

These were the vegetables that I had to use: tomatoes, sweet banana peppers and hungarian hots, shallots, sage and thyme. There was a green pattypan squash that was just ripe on the vine, so that was chopped up and quickly sauteed before throwing into the mix. Everything else was coarsely chopped fresh, and eventually tossed with the soaked bread mixture. There was also some leftover arugula salad from the day before, a bit wilted. I threw this into the mix, too.

IMG_6043

Here’s how it looked once pressed into a greased pan.

IMG_6045
Here’s how it looked after a relatively quick, 35-minute bake. I sprinkled some grated ricotta salata on top, just because there was a wedge of this leftover, too.

It was fun plopping down something in front of the lunch crowd at Sixpoint that nobody could determine what type of dish it was. It smelled good, fresh out of the oven though, so they just dug in. When I told them it was “bread pudding” it made much more sense, and was responded with a chorus of “Oh”s. Not that food needed to make sense, or be familiar, by now to eat.

There’s a million ways you could make a savory bread pudding with vegetables and even cooked meats, determined by what’s in your kitchen, garden, or what was on your plate the day before. As it turns out, I’m stuck with a hoard of plums and apricots thanks to the last two weeks of my CSA share. So I’ll probably be making a sweet version, topped with whipped cream perhaps, next.

Savory Bread Pudding with Vegetables
(serves about 6, adapted from my recipe in The Art of Eating In)

about 1/2 loaf or 4 cups loosely packed stale bread, cut to 1-2 inch pieces
6 eggs, scrambled
1/2 cup milk
3 fresh tomatoes or 2 cups cherry tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 zucchini or summer squash, chopped
1 cup fresh arugula
2 sweet banana, cubanelle or Italian frying peppers, chopped
2 small semi-hot peppers, such as jalapeno, serrano or Hungarian hots, chopped (optional)
1 onion or 2 shallots, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh sage, thyme, parsley, oregano, or any combination of which, chopped
about 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
black pepper to taste
grated cheese for garnish such as parmiggiano-reggiano, grana padana, pecorino romano or ricotta salata (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil

Whisk the eggs with the milk in a large bowl and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the bread cubes and press down to soak thoroughly. Keep a weight on top of the bowl to make sure pieces are well-submerged, and let stand for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, chilled.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high and cook the zucchini and shallots or onions just until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

Grease a large casserole or baking dish with the remaining oil. In a large bowl, toss the bread mixture with all the vegetables and herbs, seasoning with salt and pepper while you stir. Do not overmix and break up the bread pieces too much. Transfer to the baking dish and press down. Bake for about 35 minutes (depending on the size/shape of your baking dish), or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the mixture comes out clean. Garnish with optional grated cheese, and serve.
