Wheat Bread
I have been taking a class called Body Works that teaches people how to eat better and be more active as a family. So, with this class I have set small goals each week to change my diet. One way that I have done this is by making wheat bread. Thank goodness for Patty and her quick wheat grinder. Anyhow, Here’s the receipe I used today. I found it on Mel’s blog. I LOVE her food! This really was delicious, fluffy, and easy bread to make. It does involve kneading (Mia), but it isn’t too bad.

These rolls are delicious! I wanted sloppy joes for dinner, but didn’t want to go to the store to buy hamburger buns. So I decided to make these rolls. I’ve had the recipe for awhile now, but never got around to making them. Well, now that I’ve made them I’m definitely going to make them again and again. You can find the recipe here.

Read MoreBread Sticks & Pizza Dough!
This is my new favorite breadstick/pizza dough recipe! I found it on my new favorite website. When I was watching the video of how, Crystal (I’m pretty sure that’s her name), made this recipe I was intrigued because it was fast and easy. Since I had just purchased my first piece of food storage, a 25 Lbs bag of flour (not sure why that’s so exciting to me…but it is!), I decided I’d make this recipe. So, I made it with dinner last night and I promise you it was DELICIOUS! The only problem I had was that it made a lot. Jon and I ate less than 1/4 of the pan. I guess that wasn’t really a problem because we love left overs. However, I’ve decided that instead of making a full batch of bread sticks we’ll still...
