      Updated This recipe, based on the one found at AllRecipes.com, is the first bread recipe I ever attempted. It came out okay the first time, but it was a little tough. It was years before I tried making bread again. Now that I’ve had more experience with breads, I decided to give it another whirl. I’m so glad I did! This bread is delicious, and I feel much less guilty about the carbs when I know the fiber and protein content are so high. Ingredients: 3/4 cup warm water 1 package active dry yeast 3/4 cup warm milk 2 … Continue Reading →

Flaxseed oil is … Continue Reading →

            I got this recipe from a co-worker years ago. I think his roommate’s girlfriend – or something like that -was a chef…or maybe just studying to be one. It’s been so long I really don’t remember. (He he!) At any rate, she came up with this fabulous recipe. It has a wonderfully light flavor, which is perfect for a beautiful spring or summer afternoon. There’s just a bit of tartness from the lemon, and the coconut gives it an almost tropical taste. You can use limes in place of the lemons, if that’s more to your liking, … Continue Reading →
