Sauteed Summer Squash

Sautéed Zucchini with Basil, Mint, & Pine Nuts | Alexandra's Kitchen

his sautéed zucchini recipe is so incredibly delicious. In essence you sauté summer squash and dress them with a knife pesto. Serve it with homemade bread and ricotta, if you're up for it, but on it's own it's so good too: there's the bite of the vinegar, the zing of the garlic, the sweet herbs, the crunchy nuts. #summer #squash #zucchini #saute

Easy Sourdough Bread (Whole Wheat-ish) | Alexandra's Kitchen

This is my favorite sourdough bread: I look forward to a slice of this, slicked with butter more than about anything in my day. It's high hydration, whole wheat(ish), and just so darn tasty. As far as sourdough recipes go, this is super simple. #sourdough #simple #bread #boule #wholewheat #naturally #leavened

Simple Sourdough Focaccia Bread Recipe | Alexandra's Kitchen

Sourdough focaccia — easy and delicious. If you've been curious about sourdough, this is the recipe I think you should start with. There's no complicated shaping or scoring, no preheated and heavy dutch ovens. This requires a sourdough starter — I bought mine — and time. That's it. If you've got no bread-baking skills, don't sweat it. You can do this. #sourdough #bread #homemade #focaccia

The Best, Easiest Focaccia Bread Recipe | Alexandra's Kitchen

This is one of my favorite breads to make year round — I love it in the winter to serve with soups, and I love it in the summer to use for sandwiches. It takes 5 minutes to stir together the dough, but you have to plan ahead — it needs an overnight, refrigerator rise, but it's so worth the effort. #focaccia #bread #homemadebread

bagels are piled on top of each other with the words bagels easy and delicious

Foolproof Homemade Bagels Recipe | Alexandra’s Kitchen

Bagels require kneading, shaping, boiling, and egg washing. But they can still be easy-ish. I find these to be just that, kind of fun to make, very tasty, and perfect for my ideal breakfast this time of year: bagel + cream cheese + tomato ... does it get any better? #bagel #diy #homemade #foodprocessor

Homemade Bialys (Overnight Method) | Alexandra's Kitchen

Bialys are often likened to bagels, but they are so much simpler to make! I like to do a long, slow, overnight rise with bialys — it creates beautiful air pocket and a light crumb. The onion-poppy seed-breadcrumb filling-topping is irresistible. #bialys #noknead #homemade #breakfast

Simplest Slow Cooker Black Beans | Alexandra's Kitchen

Slow cooker black beans — so simple and delicious! This recipe calls for throwing dried black beans (no need to soak) into a crockpot with a few aromatics and water. Cook on high for 6-8 hours or until the beans are done. As the beans cool, they continue to absorb the flavors of the seasoned cooking liquid. So tasty, and so nice to have on hand! #scratch #beans #black #dried #slow #cooker #crockpot #easy #simple

Easy Eggplant Parmesan with Roasted Eggplant

No-Fuss Eggplant Parmesan! In this recipe, rounds of eggplant are not individually breaded and fried, rather they are roasted first, then layered with homemade tomato sauce and parmesan cheese, and finally topped with a bread crumb topping, which is irresistible. #summer #eggplant #parmesan #easy #nofuss #vegetarian

The Best Blueberry Cobbler with Buttermilk Biscuits | Alexandra's Kitchen

Cook's Illustrated's Blueberry Cobbler — a favorite! Plus there's a cool method for making this: the blueberries cook alone first, then are topped with the biscuit topping for a final bake, which ensures the fruit and biscuits are cooked perfectly. #cobbler #blueberries #spring

The Best, Easiest No-Knead Brioche Buns | Alexandra’s Kitchen

These are the best and easiest brioche buns you will ever make — the no-knead dough seriously comes together in 10 minutes (or less!), and the buns can be ready to shape in 2-3 hours. You also can let the dough rise overnight in the fridge, if that timing works out better for you. Look no further — these brioche buns are it! #buns #bread #brioche #memorialday #julyfourth

Bean & Cheese Burritos, Beef Tacos & Homemade Flour Tortillas - Alexandra's Kitchen

Homemade Flour Tortillas: Yes. You. Can. Homemade tortillas are light and lovely, slightly buttery, and truthfully, not too tricky to make. The dough requires minimal kneading and a short 30-minute rest before being rolled. And while a tortilla press is nice to get the rolling process going, it is unnecessary — a rolling pin does the job.#homemade #flour #tortillas #burrito #bean #cheese #easy #vegetarian

Sprouted Wheat Sandwich Bread with Seeds | Alexandra's Kitchen

Super Seedy Sandwich Bread with Sprouted Wheat. This is a basic no-knead sandwich bread made with sprouted wheat flour and coated in seeds. There are three recipes here: one for 1 loaf, 2 loaves, and 3 loaves - I like making 3: keeping one loaf handy for toast and sandwiches, and slicing and freezing the second two to have on hand for later in the week. #bread #noknead #sandwich #sproutedwheat #seeds
