I’m having a lot of success baking with whole wheat flour these days. In fact, I am rather thrilled that I haven’t needed to make any sacrifices transitioning from regular white flour. Working with nut flours is still giving me some odd results though. I recently made cookies with almond flour and… well… it wasContinue reading “Whole Wheat Biscotti”

Discord YAGPDB Custom Role Commands
A few of my friends asked me recently if I could help them with the Discord bot, YAGPDB, that they use to help organize server roles for people that they play games with.

Noom Friendly Whole Wheat Sweet Potato Muffins
Veggie cake is quickly becoming one of my favorite things to bake. You can make something low cal and healthy that also satisfies that cake craving.

My Favorite Quick Bread: Irish Soda Bread
I have to say that by far, my favorite quick bread is Irish soda bread. It is something that you can whip up as soon as you wake up in the morning and have with a coffee for breakfast.

Automatic Updated At Fields In Google Sheets
When working on Google Sheets, especially with others, it is often quite useful to have fields that capture when a cell, column, row, or even an entire sheet has been updated.

TheContinue reading “Pre-order Quarantine Pinot Noir from Nocking Point”
Still doing long run reverse splits
With the weather getting better, I am doing more running outdoors. That and my gym is still closed. I am following the social distancing guidelines so that means doing my runs first thing in the morning before there are too many walkers out and sticking to less crowded routes. It is kind of amazing howContinue reading “Still doing long run reverse splits”
