A failed attempt at homemade sesame seed buns

HOMEMADE SESAME SEED BUNS = EPIC FAIL....
It's not often that I consider how desperately I need my Kitchenaid stand mixer, but today was one of those days. Most days, you can make due without - even though you would really rather not. But not on this day... And that's all we're going to talk about that.

Have I ever mentioned that I love kale? Seriously, if you have never had it - it's amazing. Try it. Actually, the best place to try it is in this Italian sausage farfalle recipe. Holy flavor train, Batman.

Farfalle is the "official" name for bow tie pasta. I just like saying that word... far-fall-A.

This meal was on the quick and easy list to be thrown into the rotation. It was hearty and delicious. I loved the spicy Italian sausage with it, but it could easily be a meal without meat. If you're into that sort of thing - which I am not.

I was just left unsure as to how to eat it. Spoon or fork? It wasn't a soup, but had a little bit of broth at the bottom of the bowl that was worth enjoying - however, I wouldn't have wanted to battle farfalle with a spoon.  I would also throw a red bell pepper in there at the same time as the kale to add a crunch and a bit more flavor.

Has anyone else heard of Target's latest donation? I have read that they stand by it, stating that they did it for business reasons. I understand that, but really have a hard time wrapping my mind around a company like Target donating $150k to a politician who is very openly opinionated about certain subjects.

Tune in later this week for either a pie or tart of some sort! *fingers crossed*

    That looks delish! I'm not a huge bean fan, so I might omit that, but I think it would still be good. And the fact that I could very easily adapt that to both gluten & casein free for one of my kidlets, makes it even better! :> (I hopped my way here from BF, SITS through your cooking blog thread...glad you started it, I loved your blog title and just had to come check it out! :>)
