Our Cookbook Blog

Our Cookbook ~ What We Cook, is a compilation of every recipe we (Janice and Carissa) cook - recipes from our cookbook collections, our recipe boxes, and our heads! We set up this blog for friends and family who have our cookbook to let them see pictures we post of the recipes in the book, and also for us to note any corrections, revisions, or additions to What We Cook. We encourage people who are cooking our recipes to let us know how the recipes turn out and any suggestions they might want to make.

In addition, we will be sharing some of our new recipes (along with pictures) that are not in our cookbook. We hope you will help us out and test recipes and give us your comments.

Cream Cheese Braids ~ page 231














This is such a lovely bread. The steps are simple and it is well worth your time. The look on people's faces as they take their first bite says it all.


This is one of those things that once you have had it, you will think about it....and you will make it again.

This is the dough ready for the refrigerator and the 
overnight rising.



And then after the rising and split into four parts.


This is the rolled out dough spread with the cream cheese filling, and then rolled up and the dough split, ready to rise again and bake.

I seem to have a hard time with the picture thing...
The finished product picture wouldn't let me say anything else.
The loaves fit so perfectly on the new baking sheet Janice gave me for my birthday. The lid is great for carrying such a tender thing to a party! Thank you again Jan...great gift.

Lorrie, the picture placing can get a little tricky. David said the HTML gets messed up easily on blogger, if that makes any sense to you! I have found that the less I try to move components around the better, or it can leave big empty spaces. It helps to load all your pictures on the picture holding place, then choose your finished picture first, then do some writing, then go back and grab the picture for each step you write about, then do your writing, then grab the next pic, then write...kind of in that order. What can mess you up is putting all your pics on the draft page at once, then try to write around them. Try not to do that.

But don't worry--it is a challenge to figure out at first, but it wont take you long to get down a system that works with the blogger program.

Your bread looks wonderful! I did go in and moved your picture of the finished loaf to the top of your post. (I can do that from my end!)Thanks for posting!--jj
