Artisan Bread Loaf

Mombian Cooks: Crusty Artisan Loaf

I’ve been delighted to see so many people baking bread while isolated at home during the pandemic. I’ve baked my family’s bread for years, and am particularly fond of this artisan loaf—it’s not a sourdough, but it’s crusty and full of flavor. Here’s the recipe.

Try These Tasty Recipes from Celebrity Chefs Who Are Also Queer Parents

I love to cook, but sometimes the thought of making dinner after I get home from work feels daunting. I’m taking inspiration, though, from these professional chefs who are also queer parents. Check out a few of their recipes, and learn more about their lives and families!

Mombian Cooks: My Best Challah Recipe

If I didn’t have a parenting blog, I’d probably have a food blog. Herewith, my go-to recipe for challah, the Jewish bread that is a staple on many a Shabbat (Sabbath) table and during the High Holy Days, which start this week. It’s also just a darn tasty bread, enriched with eggs and honey, that makes the world’s best French toast.

Cat Cora’s Banana Yogurt Split with Berries and Coconut

Here’s the last of three recipes that Iron Chef and lesbian mom Cat Cora has created for Residence Inn by Marriott (as I explained Tuesday)—a dessert, appropriately: Banana Yogurt Split with Berries and Coconut.

Cat Cora’s Spicy Chicken, Tangerine and Shiitake Stir Fry

As I mentioned yesterday, Iron Chef and lesbian mom Cat Cora has been named “Resident Mom Of The Year 2013” by Residence Inn, and has developed three unique recipes that parents can easily create while staying at a Residence Inn (or at home). Here’s the second one: a Spicy Chicken, Tangerine and Shiitake Stir Fry. (I’m guessing it works well with tofu instead of chicken, too.)

Iron Chef (and Lesbian Mom) Cat Cora Is Residence Inn’s “Resident Mom Of The Year 2013”

Last fall, I wrote about my night at the Residence Inn, courtesy of Residence Inn by Marriott, which was reaching out to blogging parents for feedback and ideas. I mentioned the company’s LGBT friendliness—a friendliness they’ve reinforced by naming chef and lifestyle entrepreneur Cat Cora their “Resident Mom Of The Year 2013,” and by mentioning “She resides in Santa Barbara, CA, with her wife and four sons” in their press release about it. There’s more, plus a recipe by Cora, after the jump.

Mombian Cooks: Chocolate Cherry Fudge Cake

There’s nothing particularly lesbian-momish about chocolate cake—unless you make it for your lesbian sweetie and son for Valentine’s Day, as I did last week. A follower of the Mombian Facebook page asked for the recipe when I posted a photo there, so here it is: Chocolate Cherry Fudge Cake, a dark chocolate cake with a poured fudge frosting and jammy center.

The Ultimate New England Muffins

I haven’t posted a recipe in a while, so here’s one I made this past weekend for the Massachusetts State Muffin (corn). It’s enhanced by the Massachusetts State Fruit (cranberries), and sweetened by that most New England of sweeteners, maple syrup. If I were to put any more New England in it, I’d have to add clams—but don’t worry, I won’t.

What Are You Making or Eating This Thanksgiving?

It’s that time of year again, when we lesbian moms plan to roast turkeys, bake Tofurky, and roll our eyes at our relatives’ turkey baster jokes. What are you planning on cooking or doing for the holiday? As I have for many years, I’ll be making my cranbanero sauce, which puts some habanero fire in the
