Mom's fluffy whole wheat bread

My mom adapted this wheat bread from a pizza dough recipe. It is amazing! She added the oil, flax and honey. I am in love. . .

Makes one loaf

1 pk active yeast (1 Tb)

1 cup warm water

1 3/4 Cup whole wheat flour impacted ground

¼ cup ground flax seed or whole wheat flour

1 teas salt

2 tablespoons of canola oil

2 tablespoons of honey

Dissolve yeast in water and honey. Let sit 10 minutes.

In a large bowl combine flour, flax seed and salt. Add yeast mixture. Knead until combined well. Cover and let rise for 25-30 minutes. Knead and place in greased loaf pan. Let rise until doubled-about one hour.

Cook on 350 for 35-40 minutes until golden brown.

Tip: to help in rising. Put water in glass cup and place in microwave. Cook for 1-2 minutes until water is boiling. Place bread dough in microwave with warm water and shut the door (do not turn microwave on). The heat and moisture from the warm water will help the bread rise.

It's been a while...

It's been a while since I have posted on our Low Carbies Blog. The main reason is because of this.... My sweet little baby boy! Thats right! I'm using him as an excuse. Shortly after finding out I was pregnant. The craving for carbs was unbearable! After over a year of not eating sugar or white flour, I started again. Now, I regret it. I ended up with Gestational Diabetes and I think that was even worse than dealing with the cravings! Well, my little man is now 3 months old and its time to get back on track. I really want to get healthy again, maybe not quite as strict. I'm on the search for new low carb recipes. Here's what I've been having for lunch lately! FRUITY CHICKEN SALAD! I've posted a chicken salad recipe before ( HERE ) But this one is a bit different. Now forgive me because I didn't measure anything so its based on your own desired amount. Here are the ingredients.

Rice "Stuff"

Mom and I came up with this recipe a million years ago on a Sunday afternoon when there was no food in the house. I love it, but I can’t say the same for the rest of the family. Tonight I was craving it and decided to try it with brown rice. It turned out great! 3-4 cups of cooked white or brown rice 1 can Cream of Mushroom soup ½ pound ground beef ¼ cup diced onion 1-2 Tb Worcestershire sauce Brown hamburger and onion in frying pan. In a large bowl combine all ingredients. Put in casserole dish and bake at 350 for 30 – 45 minutes, or until the middle is hot. (Or put in individual dishes and cook in the microwave until hot.)
