Cheese Bread


Well I haven't perfected this one yet but here it goes... Here is the original recipe. I changed it around a bit due to the suggestions of others that commented on the recipe and will make further changes when I make this again next week because it was so good! Oh and I made it healthier of course.

My version.
1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup honey
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt
1 1/2 cup shredded SHARP Cheddar cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
1/3 cup canola oil

The cheddar cheese has to be sharp or I think the cheese will be lost to the wheat flour. Next time I make this, I am going to add 2-3 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese and omit the salt all together and add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder.

My son and husband both like this bread a lot. I forgot I was out of yogurt for Dylan's lunch today and had to come up with a really quick lunch before nap time so I made some pizza bread and he loved it.

If I get brave after making this a few more times, I will omit the oil and use apple sauce instead and see what happens.

Yogurt Pancakes


The family was out all weekend for my birthday and Mother's Day so we didn't eat up our yogurt. Since I now make my own yogurt, it only lasts about 10 days and I didn't want to waste any. I looked online and found a recipe for yogurt pancakes.

Of course I had to healthy up this recipe. I used whole wheat flour, honey instead of sugar, Earth's Balance instead of butter, plain homemade yogurt, and added 3 Tbls of ground flax seeds. I also used a full tsp of vanilla and added a little cinnamon.

OK, so these pancakes were not easy to cook at all. They stuck to the pan no matter what I used, and they burned easily, but they were delicious!!! My husabnd actually said they were the best pancakes he's ever had. They were not pretty as you can see from the pictures, but don't let that stop you!

Right now my son Dylan is eating the left overs that I warmed in the toaster oven. Next time I might try cutting the recipe in half. The full recipe made about 10 pancakes.
