Basic Whole Wheat Bread Recipe LeArta Moulton
This recipe makes 5 loaves. When cut in half, makes 3 loaves (8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2) or 38 rolls. Use an electric bread mixer or knead by hand.
Mix in bowl until flour is wet:
5 cups hot tap water (140 degrees)
1/2 cup honey
6 cups flour (white whole wheat or half red and white whole wheat)
1/2 cup gluten flour (optional)
Add and knead for 15 seconds on low speed.
3 TBSP yeast
Add and then mix for 5 minutes:
2/3 cup oil
1 TBSP salt
3 TBSP lemon juice (optional)
Continue adding flour (5 1/2 - 7 cups) until dough has formed a ball and is not sticking to sides or bottom of bowl, then knead the dough on high speed for 6 minutes or more until the dough is elastic-like and smooth. You may have to add a sprinkle of flour now and then so the dough pulls away form the sides of the bowl. With oil on your hands remove the dough from the bowl. Before placing dough into pan, fold and pound with side of fist a few times to get any air bubbles out and form into a ball shape. This process also helps the bread to raise higher and gives it a better texture. Put the ball of dough into greased pans and let it rise on countertop until double in size. Place in oven and then turn oven on to 350 degrees (don’t preheat) and bake for 35 minutes. Bread is done when top crust is browned and loaf has a hollow sound when thumped. The bottom crust should be nicely browned. Turn out on wire rack to cool. Store in plastic bags. (I actually put the hot loaves into bags to keep crust soft.) Freeze if not using within a few days to keep from drying out.
Fresh Peach Pie Mary Peacock
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
2 1/2 TBSP corn starch
Bring to a boil, cook until clear. Add 1/2 small pkg. apricot Jell-o (not peach). Pour over 4-5 cups of chopped and peeled peaches. Pour into 2 shells, refrigerate until firm. Top with whipped cream and enjoy.
I Forgot Cake Rebecca Tobiasson
1 butter chocolate cake mix
1 german chocolate cake mix
Evaporated milk caramel recipe (don’t go all the way to soft ball)
Poke cake with wooden spoon handle. Pour caramel on top of cake while hot. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.
Cake Mix Brownies Melissa Carter
1 box devil’s food cake mix (Betty Crocker works best)
2 eggs beaten
1/2 cup oil
Beat eggs, add to cake mix, add oil and mix until a dough forms. ADd chocolate chips, nuts or butterscotch chips.
you can roll into balls and make cookies or press into jelly roll pan and cook like brownies. Bake cookies 8 minutes @ 350 degrees. Bake brownies 12-15 minutes @ 350 degrees.
Pumpkin Muffins Kathy Brown
1 box yellow cake mix
1 15 oz. can pumpkin
Mix together and fill muffin tins or mini muffin tins. Frost with cream cheese frosting.
Stuffed Zucchini Chante Hammond
10-14” zucchini
1-2 lbs. ground beef
1 large onion
garlic to taste
grated cheese
Take a large zucchini and slice it lengthwise. Use a melon baller to scoop out insides into balls. Brown zucchini “balls”, onion, garlic, and ground beef in a frying pan until ground beef is cooked. While browning, take shell of zucchini and bake on a cookie sheet in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Take shell out of oven and put browned ground beef mix back into shell. Bake 10-15 more minutes.

MONEY MATTERS
Helpful tips and links for finances:
Some of the ideas for teaching
children include: Play
"show and tell" while you manage your own money. practice what you
preach and explain why you buy and don’t buy certain
things. Help
your child start a savings or investment account. Coincidentally
the government recommends
starting this around age 8. Give an allowance. If used as a
teaching tool and not a giveaway, an allowance can be one of the best ways to
teach kids, even as young as five or six, about money management.
Consider gifts that encourage saving. Examples include U.S. Savings Bonds and books that
reinforce financial responsibility.
Encourage
older children to get work experience. Summer or part-time jobs can teach young people good
business skills and how to be responsible. They also may enjoy earning and
saving money.
For more help or information for parents: The FDIC has a new
financial education program for youths between the ages of 12 and 20 that is
primarily for use by teachers but also can help parents explain the basics of
good money-management to their children. You can order a free CD of the FDIC's "Money
Smart for Young Adults" at www.fdic.gov/consumers/consumer/moneysmart/young.html.
Find
other resources on money management for youths from the Jump$tart Coalition® for
Personal Financial Literacy, which consists of more than 180 national partners,
including the FDIC (go to www.jumpstart.org), and the money
pages at www.kids.gov, a federal government Web site for children and
educators.
