Bread and Chocolate

So we thought it fitting that the first real post of this site would contain the two items after which we named the blog... which happen to be two of our favorite things as well.

It was definitely a day of baking - and not baking - for Mrs. HWB. Weekend breakfasts are always one of our favorite meals. Who doesn't love breakfast? It can be sweet - french toast, pancakes, donuts, cinnamon rolls - or savory - eggs, hash browns, bacon, sausage - or both! Today we started with homemade buttermilk biscuits...

 And yes, they smelled as good as they look...

And added eggs and cheese...

Cheese makes the best better...

And devoured them with fruit, OJ, and hot coffee! The biscuits also made an appearance at dinner with butter and honey. They were warm, soft, and flaky. And little HWB thought they were delicious too.

And since it was a lazy Sunday (and unfortunately the mosquitoes were out in full force), Mrs. HWB headed back into the kitchen this afternoon. Too hot to turn on the oven for multiple batches of cookies, she whipped up a quick batch of no-bake cookie bites - with peanut butter and chocolate hazelnut spread.

A successful day of baking... and not baking... More to come...
