Cooking Up A Storm in Southern CA has changed to http://www.CookingUpAStorminCA.blogspot.com
What is going on with this site anyhow? My page keeps going to another site that I could care less about? I took off the Amazon Affiliate Store and deleted the html tags in hopes that this would stop.
I will be moving this site to another destination that is safer, more secure and doesn't have continual pop ups!
My new URL for Cooking Up A Storm in Southern CA is now:
http://www.cookingupastorminca.blogspot.com/
I shortened it....making it easier to remember and type.

Welcome to Miss Polly's Culinary Emporium! More categories are coming soon!
I hope you enjoy looking at the products that I handpicked to feature in my "Culinary Emporium" of gustatory delights. I created about 10 categories which are not appearing right now but as soon as I figure out how to do it there will be other categories like:
Kitchen Aid Products
Lodge Cast Iron Cookware
Ravioli, Tortellini and other Homemade Pastas
Extra Virgin Olive Oils
High Quality Parmesan
Pesto Sauces
Marinara Sauces and Tomato Sauces
Silicone Bakeware
I picked about 1000 products in all-each one of them I hand chose like a good tomato off the vine!
Right now only 3 categories appear, but that is because I am learning how to create an online store as I have been going along.
I am very impressed with Amazon's prices, the quality, and the fact that you can find nearly anything using them-new or used.
So, enjoy and if there is a product that you would like me to feature on here then email me at:
CookingUpAStorminCA@gmail.com
Happy Cooking and Shopping!
If you scroll down to the middle of the page, my original page will appear.

Here are some awesome bread recipes and baked wonders!
You will have to take a look at the SAF Red Star Yeast website and read about the differences in the types of yeast they make. I bought my 3 small packs of the Gourmet Perfect Rise at Trader Joe's several months ago and didn't realize it was so special.
You don't have to mix this type of yeast with water and can add it to the dry ingredients.
You also can use almost half of the type of yeast you normally use in the recipe. (For best results I would follow one of the many recipes they feature on their very informative website.
Check out some of their featured best recipes at:
On the Whole Wheat Rolls on the back of the package, you only let it rise 20 minutes! The Lesaffre Yeast Corporation has been making SAF and Red Star yeasts for over 150 years and it is the yeast of choice in Europe.
I am going to be making this and the pictures will go up when I get it done later today or tomorrow. I am making some homemade soup and I wanted some good, whole wheat bread to go with it.
I am eating more vegetables, fruits, whole grains and drinking more water than I was before. I am doing more than losing weight, but I want to feel healthier and BE healthier.
If you make any of these on this page, tell us all about it.

Come check out some really good recipes on my GroupRecipes.com Recipe Page!
http://www.grouprecipes.com/people/pollymotzko/recipes/
For about 6 months or more I had been "locked out of my own page" due to password problems and bad tech support. I created an alternate profile on there which is simply:
http://www.grouprecipes.com/people/pollymotzko2
If you want to see my first profile I created a year ago-it is at:
http://www.grouprecipes.com/people/pollymotzko
This site changed my life literally! I am rated 9 out of 10 and I saw very quickly what people thought of my culinary masterpieces. It was awesome!
Now I am on Foodbuzz.com and I am rated a "96 out of 100" in about 3 weeks. I just want to do my best and keep doing it over and over again.

Make sure that you tell me your name so I can feature you and the story behind the recipe as well. The stories behind the recipes we make become our legacy that we can hand down.
