Eileen’s Favorite Recipes
Choosing a favorite recipe is like choosing a favorite child. It’s impossible. I love them all or I wouldn’t share them with you.
But there are some recipes I find myself making over and over again. These are family favorites and personal favorites.
(P.S. the sourdough recipes I’ve listed almost always have a yeasted version. You’ll find a link to the yeasted recipe in the sourdough post.)
