I made homemade wheat (not whole wheat, because it has 2 cups of white flour) artisan bread this week. What an uproar of interest I got!! My parents were over when I took my first loaf out of the oven and they couldn’t believe it was so good. My kids devoured it. My husband came home and thought I brought it home from the store. Thanks, Hon. The recipe was easy, and the best part is that there are only six ingredients! I’ve sent the recipe to about seven people who have requested it already.
My reason for baking bread is to start feeding my family healthier. I can buy wheat bread at the store, but it still has more than 20 or so ingredients. From “mono- and diglycerides” (hydrogenated oil) to “calcium propionate” (preservative). Now, you can look up these ingredients and see what the side-effects and/or risks are. We have been eating bread like this up to now, and we are still alive. Until recently, I haven’t had the urge or the desire to bake my own bread. But now that I did, I think I will do it again! Making bread is not done in 30-minutes. Nor is it done in 1 hour. It needs prep time and sitting time, and I know not everyone can do it. I’m not saying I will never buy bread again, because “you never know”, but this is a good alternative!
My next topic is homemade laundry detergent. I get on my kicks of things that I want to do, and I have been wanting to try this for years. Yes, years. So, I finally found a recipe that is so easy, I will go out and buy the ingredients tomorrow at Wal-Mart. Yes, I am excited! It’s the little things that make me happy. I will post this recipe and the bread recipe tomorrow. There must be someone out there as happy as me to have found good recipes!
So, I will let you know how I venture on my detergent adventure. It will be a memorable day for me since it’s my birthday…. Happy Birthday to Me!!
