This Post Will Probably Make You Hungry


Honey Wheat Bread
2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, divided
2 pkgs active dry yeast (or 4 1/2 tsp)
1 cup milk
1 1/4 cups water
1/4 cup honey
3 tbsp butter
1 tbsp salt
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups whole wheat flour, and yeast. In a saucepan, heat milk, water, honey, butter, and salt to 120-130 degrees; add to flour mixture. Blend on low speed until moistened; beat on medium for 3 minutes. Gradually stir in remaining whole wheat flour and enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto floured surface (I use a greased surface); knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise until double, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Shape into two loaves; place in greased 8x4x2in. loaf pans. Brush with melted butter. Cover and let rise until double, about 1 hour. Bake at 375 for 40-45 minutes. Remove from pans to cool on wire racks.
Pop-Up Rolls
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
3/4 cup milk
3 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tbsp mayonnaise
In a bowl, stir together all ingredients until thoroughly combined. Fill greased muffin cups half full. Bake at 375 for 18-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Yield: 9 rolls
Note: Substitute for self-rising flour-2 1/4 tsp baking powder and 3/4 tsp salt in a measuring cup and add enough flour to equal 1 1/2 cups.

This is the recipe for whole wheat bread I have used twice. I prefer it because it isn't quite as sweet. It is delicious. And the pop-up rolls are surprising. I doubled the recipe and we ate them all because they were so good. You can not even tell there is mayonnaise. They are light and super easy/quick.



Drumroll please....



This outfit is from my mom and I think it looks adorable on my adorable little girl...you be the judge for yourself though. Thanks Mom and Happy Birthday, I love you.



The video I took today is the best display of pitter-patters from the Sami Lynn. The actual length is almost 2 minutes, but I shortened it to about 35 seconds for your viewing convenience! Thank me later.
