Farmhouse Cheddar Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

We've been experimenting with a lot of grilled cheese sandwiches recently.  This pulls together a lot of strong flavors: horseradish, cheddar, rye, bacon, to make for a tasty mid-day meal.

Yield: 2 sandwiches

Lemon Avocado Grilled Cheese

The strong lemon flavor of this homemade pesto pairs perfectly with the mild flavor of the provolone cheese.  Gwen has labeled this her "favorite grilled cheese ever."

Yield: 2 sandwiches

Guacamole on Rye Toast

The Serrano peppers give the guacamole just a little bit of kick, which is balanced out by the cream cheese.  A great finger food to serve before any meal.

Yield: 2 servings

Rye Bread

The smell of homemade bread baking, the strong caraway seeds becoming more flavorful from the roasting.

Yield: 2 loaves

Russian Black Bread

This loaf has an unusual flavor owing to the caraway and fennel.  It's super tasty when toasted and slathered with butter.

Yield: 1 double-size loaf.  About 24 servings.

Whole Grain Bread

I love fresh, homemade bread.  The smell; the taste; the texture.  Once you get accustomed to making it yourself, you'll never go back to store-bought bread.

Yield: 12 servings

Swirled Bread

I love the smell and taste of freshly baked bread -- there's just no comparison to the stuff you buy at a store.  I decided to try my hand at creating a recipe to swirl white and rye together to make something cool looking and delicious.
