Hi friends! We weren’t able to get a fresh episode together for you this week so we’re rerunning a show we love from back in January 2017. The carrot ginger dressing we talk about is one that we both still love, and the nut bread Joy shared is a great one for these cold winter days (because we all need a little extra warmth these days!).
We’ll be back next week with a new show! Stay well!

In food news this week, we really enjoyed the New York Time’s profile of Ruby Tandoh “Ruby Tandoh Just Wants You to Eat What You Love” (Ruby was the GBBO 2013 runner up.) We especially liked her views around “clean eating.”
What’s for dinner this week? All kinds of stuff slathered in carrot ginger dressing.
The latest in Joy’s renovation saga involves neighbors complaining about the noise. Joy made them a “make good baked good.” Joy made her neighbors her mom’s nut bread, recipe below. Marisa favors this applesauce loaf for such occasions. What quick goodies do you all make to say “thank you” or “I’m sorry”?
Friend-of-the show Kristin Donnelly blog a list of her top “Cooking Secrets of Adulthood.” Naturally we wanted to weigh in with our own. (What are yours?)
And finally, at the market, we are buying raw nuts. (Use them in nut bread!)

Nut Bread
Makes five 3-by-5 inch mini-loaves
1¼ cups whole milk
1 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2½ cups all-purpose flour
3½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup walnuts or pecans, coarsely chopped
Preheat the oven to 350°. Coat five 3-by-5 inch loaf pans with oil or nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, sugar, egg, and vegetable oil. Stir well to blend. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt and whisk well.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined. Fold in the nuts, and then divide evenly among the prepared baking pans.
Transfer to the oven and bake until the loaves are light golden brown on top and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center, about 20 to 30 minutes.
