Sourdough sandwich loaf
Here's my go-to sandwich loaf recipe. This doubles nicely but that's a lotta bread. I think I got the original recipe from Reddit but I've made lots of modifications to it since.

Sourdough pancakes
This is my grandfather's recipe and I love them. I make them biiiiiig and fluffy in a cast-iron skillet and top them with peach syrup. Sometimes I have even put ice cream on the top because I'm an adult and nobody can tell me not to.

Chocolate chipotle cakes
I love spicy chocolate things. I don't know why it works so well, but it does. Lindt, for instance, makes a dark chocolate bar with chili mixed in, and Chuao, a San Diego local chocolatier, makes this thing called a Spicy Maya dark chocolate bar that has cinnamon, pasilla, and cayenne. (Also, there's a coffee shop on UCSD campus that makes Spicy Maya hot chocolate, and it is just as good as it sounds like it should be.)

Peach syrup
Ralph's had California peaches on sale for 99 cents a pound the other day, so I bought some to make peach syrup with. I eat it on sourdough pancakes and it is amazing. Apparently you can also pour it in your smoothies, but I haven't tried this.

Enchiladas!
I am trying to write up some homework and it is not going so well. A few hours ago, I decided to take a break and go to the store and get ingredients for enchiladas, because I had some of them already. Unfortunately, for no apparent reason, I didn't have a can opener, and I had to go next door and borrow one from my neighbors. The enchiladas still turned out delicious. I stole this recipe from my friend Jess who I think probably made it up.

Cafe Rio pork!
One of the things I really miss about Utah is the ready availability of Cafe Rio - the closest one to me is clear up in L.A. County. When I discovered this recipe, and made a few modifications of my own, it helped reduce the DT's to at least manageable levels.

Peanut vinaigrette
I had some leftover little strips of chicken, and I decided I was going to put them on a salad for lunch today. I then remembered that I had some leftover peanut sauce in the fridge, and wondered if I could turn it into a good vinaigrette.

Why baking powder is important
So I was making my sister's recipe for honey oatmeal muffins today. (Aside: You should read my sister's blog. She has the Midas touch with food - all of her recipes are always fantastic.) I neglected one very important ingredient: the baking powder.

Thai peanut sauce
I have searched a lot for a peanut sauce recipe that I actually like, and that doesn't have weird ingredients that I'd never use except for, y'know, the peanut sauce recipe. (Fish sauce, anyone?) This one is really good! The consistency is good, it's a rich and full flavor, and it's not hard to make either. I got it from Our Best Bites.

Ginger cucumber salad
Yesterday we had a ward barbeque at the beach.
