Avocado, Mozzarella, and Tomato Grilled Cheese
One of the best inventions ever! 😋😋
Ingredients :
½ avocado (sliced)
4 slices mozzarella cheese
4 cherry tomatoes (sliced in half)
2 slices multigrain bread ( I like Ezekiel sprouted grain bread)
a dab of butter
*Method *:
Butter the outside layers of the bread. Place one slice, buttered side down in a frying pan -heated at medium heat. Layer the cheese, tomato and then the avocado.
Place the other slice of bread on top- butter up. Flip after a few minutes. Cook each side until golden on the outside, gooey in the inside

Just really wanted to say, these look fabulous......... and no....... we're not going to be making them!!!!!!!

Cheeseburger Pretzel Bombs

Ingredients :

for 14 bombs
1 lb pizza dough(455 g), left out at room temperature for 15-20 minutes
7 slices american cheese, cut in half
14 frozen mini meatballs, thawed
¼ cup baking soda(45 g)
5 cups water(1.2 L)
1 egg, beaten
coarse sea salt
yellow mustard, for serving (optional)

Preparation :

Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the pizza dough into 14 evenly sized pieces. Working one at a time, stretch out a piece of dough into a long strip, about 8 inches (20 centimeters) long.
Place a piece of cheese at the top, followed by a meatball, and roll up the cheese and meatball in the dough. Rotate halfway through rolling to ensure you are completely encasing the cheese and meet in the dough. Pull tightly and use any remaining slack to cover any possible gaps/holes. Press the dough into itself to seal and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, cheese, and meatballs.
In a medium saucepan over high heat, bring the 5 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the baking soda and stir to dissolve. Return the pot to a boil.
In batches (about 3-5 at a time), add the rolled dough balls to the pot and boil for 20-30 seconds, stirring gently. Remove and dab on paper towels before placing back on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough balls.
Brush each boiled ball with beaten egg, then sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the outsides have browned. Serve warm with mustard, if desired.
Enjoy!

Here's another great, and very simple, idea for our Cheesy and Spicy Cheesy Brioche! Cut the brioche in half, however it'll fit your tomato slices and make a sandwich!!! Who's to say you can't add bacon, some mayo, seasoned mustard or lettuce and ham!!!! There's no rules for this stuff people!!! Think outside your bread box!!!!!

Our special thanks to Kevin from the St Paul Farmer's Market for the idea and picture!!

The Great Kazoo of the market, Tony of Bell's Maple Syrup, has called today officially Kazoo Day at St Paul Farmer's Market!
Dolly Baby is ready for her rendition of Adele's Hello!!!!

So we get a lot of questions about what you can use our Cheesy and Spicy Cheesy Brioche for. Well, anything you want really because who's making the rules? You are! If you have older Brioche, freeze them until you have enough for an Egg Bake! And yes, that's Gravy!!! Why?????? What's wrong with you.......of course there's Gravy!!!!!!

Thank you for the Egg Bake Amanda!!!!!

Okay..... it's not technically a sandwich but it does require bread! Which of course we have! Obviously Darkside Rye and Caraway Rye Breads, but why not some Sassy Sourdough????

1 can (14 ounces) sauerkraut, drained and rinsed
2 cups grated Swiss cheese
1 cup Thousand Island dressing

Dolly Baby U P travel log #2: Yup we made it! I definitely thought I would be absconded by a swarm of bugs but made it back home with no damage done. When Amanda and Jesse said they were bringing Coco I was sure a warm cup with minis floating was going to happen. Didn't realize they had ment one of the dogs! Thankfully Coco and Bear respected me for who I am and not some random chew toy so we all became good friends.
I do love a good get away with new friends and pets. Helps to keep you grounded to the simple joys in life.
Dolly Baby out 'till next adventure.

Hmmmmm.......tough choice this one. Sassy Sourdough or White I think. Sometimes you just gotta keep it simple stupid!!!!!

So, what's our traveling fool (Mascot, sorry) Dolly Baby up to now?? Well she's off to some wild camping with Amanda and her husband Jesse! Including a few furry companions as well. Off to the UP, for you non Ganders, that's the northern part of Michigan and a couple big lakes!
Everyone has to pitch in and do their part while camping so, be careful with that hatchet Lizz.......Dolly, no one needs to lose any parts!!!!

I tell customers this all the time!!!!!!!

🤣👏

So ....a lot of customers ask us what to use our Cheesy Brioche Rolls for. I usually tell them others have them with soups, stews and chilies, but our Friend Shirley likes them warmed with soft poached eggs.
Think outside your bread box, there are no rules, come up with something new and special and I will post them to our site for others to see!

Okay.....Sassy Sourdough, Ugly Garlic Cheddar or That's a Gouda Bread for sure. But don't forget, Full Seed a Bread or Darkside Rye. Did you know we use Ghirardelli Majestic Dark Cocoa and Molasses to get the coloring for Darkside and not artificial colors?????
