For those of you who are struggling like me with this challenge...here is what saved me today...100% orange juice popsicles! Just mix up a batch of 100% juice and freeze them into popsicles. It was a great treat!
I also made some whole wheat french bread and ate it with real butter and honey on it. Yum. I got the recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook and just substituted whole wheat flour for the white stuff.
French Bread:
4-5 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 Tbs. active dry yeast
2 cups warm water
Combine 2 cups of flour with salt and yeast. Add the water and mix until blended, scraping the sides constantly. Then mix for 3 minutes. Gradually add remaining flour until dough is no longer sticky.
Raise in a warm area until double in size.
Punch down dough, divide in half and let rest for 10 minutes.
Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray and sprinkle cornmeal lightly on it. Shape the dough into long french bread loaves. Cover and let raise until double in size.
Cut diagonal lines into bread, if desired. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes. Take out of oven and butter the tops. Return to oven and bake 15 minutes longer. Butter tops again when finished.
It's yummiest fresh out of the oven.
2 cups warm water
3 days down! We can do this! Thanks for all the encouraging words and great recipes!
