More bready things.

I swear that I am going to be making this when I next have a weekend at home. Really. Low carb bedamned when bread looks this good.http://chocolateandzucchini.com/archives/2006/11/no-knead_bread.phpI have the pot, I will make the time, I will eat the bread.

I bring you...cake!Yes, cake. I had some sour cream left over from a chili night, and it needed using. It worked out to a cup's worth. What can I do with that? I asked myself, whilst being determined to use it. Then I found some gluten free Dove's Farm flour in the cupboard.I googled a …
