My BFF from high school, Sandy, shared a few of her dearly departed Grandmother’s bread recipes with me last week.
Yesterday, I tried the Honey Oatmeal bread…. As you can see, it didn’t turn out quite as planned. It’s still tasty, just short and dense.
Today I had much better results! I used her bun recipe only I made it with half wheat and half white flours instead of all white flour. I can’t wait to sample one!!
Does this look good or what?!? I’m having some basic green tea with my new favorite sandwich. It a grilled cheese with a twist. I use olive oil on the whole wheat bread instead of butter. The cheese is provolone. To give it even more flavor I use stone ground mustard, baby spinach and sliced tomato. OH YUM!

Happy Tuesday! We’ve got light snow flurries coming down at present. But nothing like the 10+ inches of snow we got on Saturday!! That was tree branch breaking snow…this is the pretty stuff.
Today I’m having my tea with another special Norwegian treat…LEFSE. So, of course, I had to drink it out of a Scandinavian tea set.
I made the lefse on Sunday afternoon. Each time I make it I get a little better at it. I don’t use a recipe because I hate to measure. Growing up I was always around when mom made her lefse. She would talk about how it should feel, look and taste. She never measured either.

This my 3rd year using this technique. It never ceases to amaze me that each time I get different results!
This year I used:
- red cabbage which gave me the acid washed denim look
- beets gave me the rust color
- fresh cilantro and thyme gave me the bright yellow/citron color
Now that I’m four days into Spring Break, I could be a mom on the edge of sanity knowing myself and my children. I have to say, over all, things are going quite well.
I had another successful morning of bread making. This time I made buns and a small round loaf. The buns were a little short but tasty. The loaf has not yet been sampled.
The kids are sticking to their chore charts, we ran errands and no blood was spilled.
The stop at the post office brought a package… My OWOH prize has arrived from Angelina’s Trinkets. Thank you!!
I did it!
I made bread. Not my usual bricks!!
After nearly 16 years, I decided to get out my Kitchen Aid mixer recipe book for guidance. Before someone asks… Yes, I use my mixer all the time but never reference the manual.
I still had to improvise a bit since the recipe called for powdered milk and I only had DariFree. Not sure if the proportions would be the same or not but it seemed to work.
We’ll have to see what the rest of the family thinks of it later…
