Slower Sunday: Still

Yosemite is one of those time-stood-still places. Like nothing much has changed since the glacier came and went. The national parks are the ticket. To time travel. This is not the modern world. Take a great walk close to home. Think about taking an awesome walk sometime soon.

Chocolate-Cherry Bread Pudding

Takes about 10 minutes of preparation. Takes another twenty minutes before your home begins to smell like chocolate bread pudding. Which I now believe is the way every home wants to smell. Making this is easy. Waiting for it to bake is tough.

Half Dome. Earth’s coolest looking rock.

Peanut Butter & Grape Bread

Not a joke. This is profoundly great bread. Without kneading dough. Really. No kneading. Just 30 seconds of stirring. Because sometimes you just feel like eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. When you're out hiking. Melts in your mouth, not your backpack.

Olive Oil-Lemon Cake

Hard to say if this is better for breakfast or for dessert. Depends if you want ice cream with it. Either way, it's a light, moist and refreshing cake. Very intense lemon flavor makes it vibrant. Olive oil keeps it moist and light. Ten minutes to prepare.

All-Weather Fish Tacos

It's officially Spring. I want to cook outdoors. But it was raining, sleeting and hailing. So I sliced the fish into small-bite-sized pieces and put them in a pan with four tablespoons of my salsa verde. Five minutes later, a wonderfully satisfying and intensely flavorful meal.
