100% Whole Wheat Bread

I have decided to start making a lot of my own things from scratch. The bottom line is that there is so much added to foods that you buy from the grocery stores nowadays, and I don't want that poison in my body!

This recipe is 100% Whole Wheat, with no added wheat germ or gluten. Totally healthy, totally good! Give it a try!

Ingredients:

1 packet yeast

3 cups Whole Wheat Flour

1  1/2 tsp salt

1  1/2 TBSP White Sugar

1  1/2 TBSP Nonfat Dry Milk Powder

1  1/2 TBSP Margarine

1  1/4 cups Warm Water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)

Mix all dry ingredients together. Add warm water and margarine and mix well. Knead on a floured surface for at least 5 minutes. Cover and let rise for 1 hour. Knead 5 more minutes, shape dough and place in non-greased loaf pan. Cover and let rise until double in size.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Of course, if you have a bread machine, just toss all the ingredients in the machine, press the whole wheat setting, and walk away.

Totally easy, and totally good for you!

Enjoy! :)

Chocolate chip cookie dough and fudge!

So my dear friend Coree posted this on facebook and it looks so good I wanted to make sure that I could find it and make it for Christmas. Hopefully she doesn't mind that I have posted this. If she does I will remove it but I am hoping that she doesn't because seriously look at it, that looks GOOD. So here is what she posted regarding it below.

Put them together and what do you get? Umm...Didn't I just tell you? Chocolate chip cookie dough fudge! DUH!!! It's REALLY yummy!!

P.S. The cookie "dough" is not the traditional cookie dough, it is altered to not have any raw ingredients. :P

Cookie dough:

1/3 cup butter, melted
...1/3 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Mix the brown sugar with the butter until smooth. Add flour and salt and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips. Place batter in a small quart size ziploc, seal, and press the dough so it is flat in the ziploc. Place flat in the freezer for 10 minutes, or until firm. (It took mine about 20 minutes to be firm enough to cut into chunks and not have them mix like dough with the fudge.)

After dough is firm, cut into 1/2 inch pieces.

Fudge:

1 lbs. powdered sugar
8 ounces cream cheese, softened or whipped cream cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Cream together powdered sugar, cream cheese and vanilla. In a heavy saucepan over very low heat, melt chocolate chips, stirring constantly. Add melted chocolate to cream cheese mixture, beat until blended. Stir in chilled cookie dough pieces. Spread evenly in pan. Refrigerate until firm. Remove from pan and cut into squares.

Enjoy!!
