but if the ...Oh wait, not 1/2 of the flour is oats,<br />but if the recipe calls for 2C flour, I use<br />maybe 1/2C oats, & 1/2C wheat germ,<br />w/the cup of flour!! (the flour holds it together!!!)<br />and for the molasses, it is a sweetener, so just use what you use for sweetening, use a little less and add molasses. I prefer the <br />Barbados or light blackstrap molasses. <br />also if the recipe says 350 degrees, I cook at 325 for a little longer, you will get to be the grandma of cooking like me, not HAVE to time, look, push in the toothpick, etc, I still do for my breads, not much else.<br /><br />those of you who have the wonderful clay baking sheets, NICE!!! (nothing burns!)<br /><br />I put butter right ON THE BREAD out of the oven, lets say banana, or zucchini bread. <br />I LOVE too cook, to bad I live alone,<br />waisted cooking (or no cooking, for no one) <br /><br />My Daniel always was my best eater--LOVING everything I cooked. Rose is lucky to have him!!!

It seems those wonderful home made things appear when the weather gets cooler. <br />So just an fyi. <br /><br />I have been "cookie lady" for years, making cookies, breads and fun muffins.<br /><br />I always use whole wheat flour and molasses.<br />(never a recipe -- but when first learning to cook w/wheat, oats, etc, use the recipe and replace tit for tat)<br />AND cook at a lower temp. My chocolate chip cookies w/whole wheat are always a hit!!<br />I replace lets say 1/2 of the flour and use whole oats, I use another part of the flour and use wheat germ (extra moist and yummy).<br />Just some household hints for winter approaching for those of you who may want to bake some goodies for your friends and loved ones!! :)<br />the Mom<br />the Grandma<br />the suzieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3853525916789958288.post-71835986463579535032009-07-01T20:03:21.757-07:002009-07-01T20:03:21.757-07:00Gardenmama-Yes, It'll be so nice this year to ...Gardenmama-Yes, It'll be so nice this year to bring some of summer into the winter months.
