Whole Wheat Bread

Since getting my super awesome bread pan, I’ve been making all of our bread lately. I’ve tried a couple different whole wheat recipes, but they tended to be really heavy and the boys weren’t digging them. Especially when it came to using the bread to make sandwiches. So I kept looking, and trying, until I came to this really simple whole wheat bread from Nita Crabb that I found on AllRecipes.

Double Dark Chocolate Wheat Bread

Since getting my snazzy new bread pan from the in-laws at Christmas, I’ve been making a lot of bread. Seriously, this pan is awesome. However, since I’ve only been using my bread machine to make the dough, I decided to play with my original chocolate chip bread recipe and came up with this one instead. While I love the chocolate chip bread recipe, I wanted something that was more wheat bread and not so much sweet bread, but was still yummy enough that Jesse would approve. Continue reading

Amish White Bread

For chrismtas this year, the MiL got me this fabulous bread pan (it has a lid!) and we’ve been making a lot of bread with it since. Honestly, I think I’m giving up buying bread since it’s fairly easy to make my own. Probably a lot cheaper to since we really don’t go through it that fast. I can’t say that. When it comes to homemade bread, we easily go through an entire loaf with a day or two – not so much with the store bought brands.

Zucchini Bread

Yes, I know I already have a Zucchini Bread recipe, but this one was my grandmother’s so I have to add it. I loved this recipe growing up, but it was different enough for Jesse which is why we have two on the site. It doesn’t take too many zucchinis to get 2 grated cups worth. When I made this, I had 3 good sized zucchinis and it gave me enough to make 4 loaves. Continue reading
