Homemade Sourdough Bread & Starter

Homemade Sourdough Bread & Starter

“There's nothing better than the aroma of sourdough bread baking. Fresh out of the oven slathered with butter, it's heavenly. Bea's sourdough starter and bread are very easy to prepare so you can make bread at home whenever you want. It does take time for the rising, but the soft and fluffy bread is worth the wait. We made cinnamon rolls with half the dough and bread with the other half. Both tasted heavenly. You'll have plenty of the starter left to share with friends.” - Kitchen Crew

Individual Beef Wellington With Mushroom Pate

Individual Beef Wellington With Mushroom Pate

“They turned out fabulous! I seared them for 5 minutes on each side then refrigerated until about 45 minutes before baking. The mushroom pâté actually made the dish! Hubby says it was the best dinner ever! I served it with roasted baby Yukon gold potatoes, corn on the cob, and freshly baked rolls. I live in Las Vegas & I don't think we could have gotten a better dinner at one of the fancy restaurants on the Strip. :)” - Jan

Southern Style Blackened Shrimp & Grits

Southern Style Blackened Shrimp & Grits

“The flavors in this blackened shrimp and grits are so perfect, each bite is a party in your mouth. This is a true Southern or Cajun dish. The blackened shrimp are seasoned just right. No seasoning overpowers another. You taste the blackened seasoning, pepper, red pepper, and cayenne. Served over creamy grits with a gently poached egg, you could have this for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's an impressive meal that's very easy to make. This recipe takes shrimp and grits to the next level.” - Kitchen Crew
