Let me know what you're interested in!

hmm no bread machine, but i'd love to see the recipe!

650 g whole wheat flour (or 4 cups, but I prefer to use weight )
1/4 c sugar
2 tsp salt
2 tbsp wheat gluten (I use Arrowhead MIlls) -- This keeps the challah from becoming like a brick.
1 tbsp bread machine yeast
1 c water
1/2 c oil
2 eggs + 1 egg for coating

1. Warm the water in the microwave (I do 40 seconds)
2. Warm the eggs in a container of warm/hot tap water
3. Put all wet ingredients into bread machine
4. Put in dry indredients, but yeast should be last
5. Run bread cycle
6. Turn on oven at 200
6. Form the challahs (I make three smallish loaves in oval pans -- braiding is too much work)
7. Spray with Pam and cover with saran wrap and leave on top of stove (not directly in live of hot air blast from oven).
8. Allow to rise for 1 hour (the warmth from the oven is a big help)
9. Beat egg and brush on.
10. Add toppings as desired (poppy, sesame, etc.)
11. Bake (Time will vary based on your oven, but I do 21 minutes on 355/convection).

People who eat my challah cannot believe it's 100% whole wheat.

Carrot Kugel

less than 1 C oil
3/4 c brown sugar
1 t salt
1 T cold water
1 T lemon juice
1 t vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1 1/4 c flour
1 can sliced or whole carrots - mashed with a fork

cream the sugar, eggs and oil.
add rest of the ingredients, alternating wet and dry.
mix until its an even consistency.

bake on 350 for 40 minutes (edges should be golden)

FYI: I do NOT eat cooked carrots. I eat pretty much every other food except that.
Many many years ago my husband forced me to taste it, and I absolutely love this kugel !!!

This is my favorite "go to" dessert when I'm short on time.
Prep time is under 5 min, and no mixer!


Warm "gooey" chocolate cupcakes

3/4 c chocolate chips
1 stick margarine
melt. cool.

then add:
2 eggs
3/4 c sugar
3 T flour

Spray 12 cupcake holders with non-stick spray.
Divide mixture into cupcake holders.
Into each one, put 1 square Rosemary chocolate (or your favorite chocolate).
Push down the chocolate so the batter covers it.

Bake at 400 for 20 min

Heat to serve.
serve with a scoop of vanilla or vanilla fudge icecream
(i drizzle the plate with raspberry decorative syrup, makes an excellent presentation!)
