My Heart's Desire

The new All Bread Diet Revolution!

My family has fallen in love with homemade bread! I have inched my way along from boxed mixes in a breadmaker, to trying breadmachine recipes, to grinding my own wheat and making bread on my own. (OK true confessions I am still addicted to using my kitchen aid! LOL and I have fantasies of owning a Bosch Universal some day!) I did try to make bread with just my own two hands. Do you know how long 7-10 minutes of kneading is?..... About 4 hours in wimpy city girl arm time! LOL. Seriously, I understand why our ancestors had less of a problem with weight...you could burn nearly 5 million calories just making bread. Hey, that gives me and idea for a new diet revolution! The All Bread Diet Revolution, all you can eat is bread and you must grind all your wheat by hand and knead all your dough by hand....I could be a size 2 in 3 months flat! Do I have any takers? I think I could write a book, make infomercials and make millions!

Seriously though, I had a great day of making wheat bread, wheat roll and sweet dinner rolls. I am looking to expand my bread recipe collection if anyone whats to share.

Have a blessed Saturday, I will be up at the crack of dawn to take the boys into the city for Kid's Home Depot Clinic...we will be making football stools. If I can figure out how to add pictures I will post some tomorrow!

My kids too love the great taste and smell of fresh bread...I love the allrecipes.com site, they have wonderful recipes.

My MIL can still knead her own bread and she is 90 yrs. old....yes it is great exercise...if you decide to do an infomercial, count me in:-)

Have a great weekend.
