Multigrain Bread

I'm just going to post the link for this recipe because the pictures that went along with it, at Our Best Bites, were very helpful, especially when I was mixing the dough. (I did make a new copy of the recipe for you to print off, though. Their version is very difficult to read.) I think I've been adding too much flour all along to other recipes because my dough is always a lot drier. I ended up adding another half cup of warm water after I let it rest for the first 20 minutes because it didn't look like the pictures. Sure glad I did. The bread turned out really well! We had a little mishap with the oven--someone turned it off, but neither of us thinks we did it--which made the top deflate a little. Please disregard the sad-looking bread in the picture. It really did taste wonderful!

I couldn't find the 7-grain cereal at the Commissary, so I ordered some from Amazon. They had the Bob's Red Mill cereal--4 packs for about $9.00. And you can make about 8 loaves per bag of cereal, so it seems like a pretty good deal!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip

I was so impressed with this recipe. I was completely expecting it to not turn out--it sounds way too healthy to possibly be good. But oh my! It definitely did not taste like chickpeas. I liked it as is, my husband preferred it chilled, the boys loved it either way. My only change was that I used oatmeal instead of flax seed, just because I ran out of flax seed and forgot to get more. We will definitely be making this again!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip
from Green Lite Bites

1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1/8 tsp of salt
2 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp of natural peanut butter
2 tbsp honey
2-3 tbsp of oats or whole roasted flax seeds, ground
About 1/4 cup of milk
3 tbsp mini chocolate chips

Put the chickpeas, salt, vanilla, peanut butter, honey and oats or flax seeds in the food processor.

Turn on and drizzle the milk in a little at a time. I used the whole 1/4 cup.

Once smooth, fold in the chips. Reserve some to sprinkle on top.

Serve with graham crackers.
