The kitchen wins again

Kitchen: 2. Us: 0

I cut my finger trying to slice apples for my oatmeal this morning. So much for a healthy breakfast!

Monday night was a free for all, since we were at Bible Study. We had sloppy joe's, organic applesauce, and mixed veggies. I'm pretty sure Michelle and Dan ate at Bread Co. But I'm sure they got something like salad and not the super delicious macaroni.... mmmm.... macaroni.

Michelle is going to post TONIGHT about yesterday's meal, since she made it. It was yummy, but definitely unexpected.

We are doing well with the healthy snacks! Yesterday we had some fresh strawberries with a little bit of organic sugar. Seriously, the only thing that could have made this better was chocolate.

Michelle has made pumpkin bread twice, with whole wheat flour. Here's a tip about whole wheat flour - it needs to cook about ten extra minutes if you are just substituting for all-purpose flour.

We are making some more whole wheat bread (from scratch) this week. This time, we are going to add in a bit of high-gluten flour. This has been recommended for whole wheat bread to give it the light, airy texture you expect from bread. Otherwise, whole wheat bread can be pretty dry. We'll take a picture and see how it works out!
