Artisan Bread

Have you heard about baking bread in your Dutch oven?  Since today was a cold, sun is shining, house is quiet and cleaned, fire in the fire place, sufficient coffee intake kind of day, I decided to put my hand to some new methods and recipes.  I don't know about you, but it helps to be creative and have fun in the kitchen when you have time to explore and enjoy the process. So, back to baking artisan bread.  You know, the bread you buy at your local bakery that is crusty on the outside, looks beautiful and tastes even better?  Trust me, I am thankful for our local bakery that always has a beautiful assortment of artisan breads when I don't have time to be in the kitchen.  How great would it be, though, if you could make your own beautiful artisan bread once in a while? As someone who loves to spend time in the kitchen, I try to have basic supplies on hand such as bread flour, all purpose flour and an assortment of salts, spices, herbs.  My trusty mixer ...

Back to My Roots

Happy New Year!  The past couple years, I've been especially drawn to my heritage and the values surrounding it.  Family dinners, hospitality, having a generous heart, seeking to be a peacemaker, having a passionate love for God and people....all these are rooted in my Amish Mennonite heritage.

Why Dinner?

The older I get, the more I value meaningful conversations and relationships.  It's easy to go throughout our days, weeks and eventually years working our jobs, raising our kids, building our businesses, doing many good things and leaving little time for the most important things in life.  I remember so well my Grandfather admonishing that "we bring nothing into the world, and we will take nothing out." People are our greatest commodity. If we don't take time to build up and encourage those we are around and those we come into contact with, what do we really have? I've never heard anyone on their death bed wishing for more "stuff." I love gems in the rough. I love seeing the potential in people, who they really are and the greatness that may be hidden inside. And, this is why I host dinner parties. It's a tangible way to love and have conversations that are more than a mile wide and an inch deep. At a recent dinner party, as we sat outside unde...
