Baby Countdown #1 Quick no-yeast whole grain bread
So my due date is tomorrow. And just to make things interesting, I woke up this morning at 6 AM with regular contractions. Regular, that is, until my kids woke up an hour later. I guess the sight of two wild haired, pajama clad toddlers stomping towards the bed was enough to scare even the contractions away. So instead… Continue reading Baby Countdown #1 Quick no-yeast whole grain bread

Whole wheat Banana muffins
How often have you tried preparing a muffin recipe boasting 12 or 24 muffins and ended up with several disappointed empty cups? I do that all the time. Even when I (shamefully) tried these ready-made-just-add-water muffin mixes, I still had to leave some of the cups muffin-less. Now that my conscience is clear, I can proceed to… Continue reading Whole wheat Banana muffins
