Knotted Potato Rolls

November 4, 2024 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + Leave a Comment

These Knotted Potato Rolls are seriously out of this world! They are just perfection....golden buttery and pillowy soft! They are a special occasion roll at our house. Perfect for your upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. I love this fun knotted shape, but you can absolutely roll them into the crescent shape if you would prefer. I demonstrate that technique for crescent dinner rolls

Quick Alfredo Sauce (with Cream Cheese)

October 15, 2024 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 2 Comments

This Quick Alfredo Sauce (with cream cheese) is my go-to Alfredo sauce recipe now. I did not realize how life changing it is to ditch heavy cream and use cream cheese in Alfredo sauce instead! It is brilliant. I don't always have heavy cream on hand, but I usually do have cream cheese, making this recipe so easy to throw together anytime! It is lighter and much easier to make than traditional

Hello friends, This Peach Cobbler with Maple Butter Drizzle is the perfect recipe to use those juicy end of the season peaches.

Best Homemade Chewy Brownies

September 16, 2024 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 4 Comments

How do you like your brownies? More cake like?? Or do you like more chewy fudge like brownies similar to the kind from a box mix? I used to always make my One Bowl Brownie recipe but I guess my tastes changed. While that recipe is really good, it definitely makes a more cake like brownie and now I prefer a more fudge like brownie. My favorite store bought brownie mix is the Ghirardelli Triple

Sourdough Discard Bagels

September 2, 2024 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + Leave a Comment

One of my favorite things to make with my sourdough recently, are these amazing bagels. They are soft and fluffy and with the addition of a little yeast they are fast and no fail even when you use discard. The addition of the yeast means, they go much faster than your normal sourdough recipes and you do not have to use the starter when it is fed and bubbly (you can but you can also use the

Protein Overnight Oats

August 9, 2024 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + Leave a Comment

What is your favorite breakfast? I am a big fan of oats (in some form) for breakfast. I had heard people say that it was not an ideal breakfast because it spikes your blood sugar and that you should start your day with protein instead. Well I have found a way to still enjoy my morning oats, but with extra fiber and protein so it does not spike my blood sugars! It is nothing like those sugar laden

Tribute to my sweet Mom

I developed my love of cooking at an early age “helping” my Mom bake cookies, make dinner, and knead bread. She had quite the well of patience! She is the one that taught me about measurements, leavening agents, egg-washes, the basic white sauce, and numerous other mysteries of the kitchen!  I cherish the memories I have of learning to cook at her side. Thank you Mom! You instilled in me a respect for work as well as a joy in creating delicious things. I love you! xoxo
