Easy Whole Wheat Bread My mom used to make her own bread and yogurt from scratch. I mean, come on. How cool is she? I remember learning that and thinking my mom was the most awesome hippie mom ever and I wanted to do the same if I was ever a mama. The bread-making season in our house ended sometime around the arrival of 10-pound me. But can you blame her? Well, the good news is, you do have time to make this bread. This recipe is simple in both preparation and ingredients. Just 9 basic ingredients that are very forgiving. With a short 20 minute bake time, hands on prep time is only 15 minutes + the rise! When I say dump, mix, rise, I mean it. You literally dump the ingredients in a bowl, mix and let it do its thing in the fridge. All that’s left to do is knead in the seedy and oat-y things and let it rise once more while the oven preheats. Twenty minutes later and you have a perfectly delicious, seedy, whole grain loaf on your hands. This loaf is magnificent; everything you want in a homemade bread. Prep time Notes

Lemon Macadamia Nut Cakes A cake doesn’t have to be a cupcake just because it is small. Leave off the piles of frosting and the colorful wrapper and you have an individually sized dessert that is a simple, elegant way to finish off a dinner with family or friends. These little Macadamia Nut Cakes are definitely not cupcakes, but they sure are tasty. When I say simple, I mean it. If you’re not going to serve these cakes right away – and they can be served warm if you do want to serve them immediately, although they will come out of the wrappers more cleanly if you allow them to cool – you can make them a day ahead and store them in an airtight container before dressing them up. Lemon Macadamia Nut Cakes 1/2 cup all purpose flour 1/2 cup whole, toasted macadamia nuts 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 tsp baking powder 2 large eggs 2 tsp lemon zest 2 tbsp rum 2 tbsp butter, melted and cooled Preheat oven to 350F.

White Chocolate, Cranberry, and Macadamia Nut Cookies recipe Of all my many, many cookie recipes, these are my go-to, guaranteed crowd-pleaser cookies...and they never fail! I follow the base recipe, don't change amounts, but switch up the mix-ins depending on the occasion and crowd. I'm surprised at some of the user comments regarding a "cake-like" texture; if this is the result of your cookies, you're doing something wrong! (1) Air time! It's important to allow the butter (unsalted) and sugars several minutes beating time to allow a fluffy texture. (2) Size matters!

Gluten Free Quinoa + Chia Bread Gluten Free Quinoa + Chia Bread I thought I would post up my favourite and most popular recipe on The Healthy Chef.

Vegan Vanilla Cake Light fluffy and delicious vegan vanilla cake! Two layers of vanilla sponge, topped with a velvety vegan vanilla frosting and fresh strawberries. This vegan vanilla cake is light fluffy and dreamy! But what you’re going to like most about it is how EASY it is. I’m going to admit, I had to play around with this recipe for quite a bit before I got it right. The first time it was delicious, but I used a flax egg and while a flax egg is GREAT for most cakes, in the case of a vanilla cake when you want it to have the glorious light color, well….it didn’t work out so well. I ended up with a delicious cake that looked like a seed cake and nothing at all like a vanilla cake. The next time I tried it, it ended up way too dry, so I knew I needed to adjust the flour ratio. I’m happy to report that the recipe you see below delivers the ideal level of moistness and as you can see, the color is totally gorgeous! Strawberries on top add a dash of gorgeous color and offset the vanilla flavor just right.

Classic Waffles Recipe We all enjoyed these for breakfast with sliced strawberries and whipped cream. The only thing I do differently is make waffles in the blender. First I whip up the egg in the blender then add the rest of the wet ingredients and blend quickly. Then add the mixed dry ingredients to the blender and use the stir cycle until well mixed. Then I pour it directly onto the waffle iron. I add extra milk to thin out the batter if it needs it. My family liked this recipes I did make some alterations to the mix, I add 5 Tbls of sugar and 1 1/4 stick of real butter (melted) and about 3 Tbls of vanilla I know from past mistakes when cooking other recipes the bread didn't come out to sweet. The only thing I did different than the directions stated to do was I sifted the flour, baking power & sugar before I added the liquid ingredients. Glad to find this recipe as it is close to my mother's recipe that I lost. I've made this recipe twice now. What went wrong?!? Wow! I've made this recipe twice now.
