On Saturday, our Stake had a Women's Conference. I attended a class taught by my dear friend Ruth Ann on food storage. Among many wonderful things that I learned, she told us of a study done by USU on the nutrition of bread, They compared one slice of white bakery bread to one slice of homemade whole wheat bread. The study showed that a person would have to eat 150 slices of bakery white bread to equal one slice of homemade wheat bread. I told Hubby of my desire to eat healthier.
This is Hubby's solution:
+
=
Too Hot!
Yum!
Only 149 slices to go!
It's got to be a little better than the store bought bread. We'll slowly work our way up to the healthy whole wheat.

Laurie, of course I remember you (I always remember people who have such a cool name). I can't believe your family. How beautiful! I remember your two oldest at the time we lived there, and I think you were pregnant. Good luck with the wheat bread. I just got home from the cannery where I filled 40 cans of wheat. I guess I'd better get cooking also!
Mmmmm. We love our homemade wheat bread over here.
Good for you..there is nothing better than homemade bread...I loved it when my mom made homemade bread...I should do that too...
I have been discussing with my mom that we need to start making bread, for more reasons then just the health benifit. I love to eat it..especially with butter and honey but I am sure that makes it less healthy.
I also love your mixer...my son lost one of my paddles...I am so lost without it!! Lukily I still have my bread kneader attachment.
I've never had very good luck with whole wheat bread... can't get it to grow right. your bread is beautiful! makes me wish my oven weren't on the fritz so I could bake some!
slowly workign your way into whole wheat is a wise move...
the plumbing gods will thank you for it.
Thanks for stopping by my sight! And for your sweet comments. I am on a health kick too! We got rid of the microwave and went organic on our fruits and vegies! I really want to make homemade bread, but I am a yeast failure. Anything with yeast- falls for me! So if you have a good recipe I'd love it if you don't mind sharing it with me.
By the way I love your blog page- what a beautiful header.
I love homemade bread. As far as the wheat goes, just slowly start adding wheat flour instead of the white. If it calls for 3 cups of flour, start with 1/4 cup wheat and the rest white, and work your way up!
I think I'll go start some bread right now.
I absolutely love my Kitchen-Aid. It is wonderful. You will feel like you can make anything with it! I will post on my website our favorite whole-wheat bread recipe that my kids really like. We're still working on dad to like whole-wheat. You can start switching to whole wheat by making everything with half white, half wheat. I do it with bread, cinnamon rolls, and with cookies. I also did it with homemade noodles--I thought they tasted good! Have Fun!
Careful! Your kids will get addicted to the homemade stuff and refuse store bought. Now I am forever making homemade bread. Good thing I enjoy it and they love it - not knowing that it is actually better for them.
I started making the white homemade then slowly added ground flax and now we are up to 1/2 cup flax and 1/2 of the flour is whole wheat with still no complaints!
Your bread looks beautiful!!
Ditto. I need to start making homemade bread, and work up to the whole wheat.
Thanks for the info! :)
If you really want to try an awesome whole wheat bread recipe click here. This blog belongs to another Mormon blogger and her posts are inspiring. And her bread recipe is amazing! I've started making this instead of buying bread recently. We love it! Thanks for stopping by my blog, a fellow law enforcement wife!
Beautiful bread! My kids like my wheat bread so much that they refuse to eat any store bought kind. Makes me kind of proud in a way, but at the same time, it means I have to stay on top of it. We've been out of breaad for about 3 days now. Guess I'd better get busy!
Yuuuuuuuuuum! That is the best way to do it! And ohmygosh your girl is to die for! A DOLL!!
