Baked Spaghetti Casserole, Soft Bread Machine Breadsticks, and an Announcement


Are you trying to put together a menu for Mother's Day, a graduation party, or Memorial Day? Here are a couple of ideas.

  • Try this recipe for Baked Spaghetti with Cream Cheese with French Fried Onion Rings on top (the secret ingredient that makes this spaghetti memorable). You can make it ahead and serve it to a crowd. Here's what one reader recently wrote about it:
My boyfriend’s son grew up in Finland and the first time he came to visit us, I made this for one of our dinners. He loved it so much, he begged me to make it a second time before he left. Now it’s mandatory that I fix it any time he comes to visit. --R.A.
  • Whip up these Soft Bread Machine Breadsticks using the DOUGH cycle on your bread machine. I recently revised and updated this recipe and gained a couple of pounds in the process--Oof! So hard to resist.
Great recipe turned out amazing! So soft and everyone loved them! Used half and half as my milk. Beautiful and delicious! Bread machine did most of the work. Thanks for sharing. --Heather B.

Hi Friends, The Fourth of July is my favorite holiday and an excuse to share homemade food with others. Even if you aren't celebrating a holiday, you likely find yourself cooking or baking for others, bringing joy and connection through your efforts. Recently, I was inspired by Trevor J. Wilson's book Open Crumb Mastery. It's not for beginners, and it's not a cookbook. But if you...

I love summer and celebrating with family. It's the best time for homemade hamburger buns, ice cream, and watermelon. This week, there is something for everybody--hamburger buns for the bread makers, creme fraiche ice cream for the yogurt makers, and espresso (or coffee) ice cream for coffee lovers. If you like watermelon like I do, check out this post for "How To Pick the Perfect Watermelon" by Rachel Teodoro. Her method works better for me than thumping. Bread Machine Hamburger Buns These...

Hello Friends, I hope your summer (or winter, to my southern hemisphere friends) is off to a good start. After taking a break and a nice vacation, I came home with a rip-roaring case of acute bronchitis. This isn't my first go-around with the stuff, but it's been a while, and I forgot how long it takes to get over the coughing. Thankfully, I'm on the mend. Reader Question: Can I substitute oil for butter in a yeast bread recipe? Substitutions can be challenging. Since I can't test for every...
