When people ask me about Macheesmo, one of the first questions I get asked is how I don’t weigh approximately 400 pounds. I think I’ll save my philosophy on healthy eating for another post, but generally I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables with the occasional heavier meal.

As some of you may know, I try to make a loaf of bread once a week. For the last year or so I’ve been making no knead bread as my go-to loaf. Betsy and I use this for sandwiches or toast throughout the week or just to snack on. Even though I completely love [...]
