Mother's Oatmeal Bread and Honey Butter


This bread recipe has become a staple in the Wieda house. I have taught many people how to make bread with this simple recipe. If you are looking for a good food storage recipe, this is one to add to your pile. Most of the ingredients are stored on your shelves in your pantry, except the butter. I make a honey butter, which recipe I will include, that makes the warm bread irresistible. My kids always look forward to the next morning because I make french toast with the leftover bread! Everyone who has been given this recipe has loved it, I hope this will become one of your family favorites as well.

Ingredients:

1 cup quick oats
2 cups boiling water
2 1/4 tsp yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1/2 cup honey
2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp butter, melted
4-5 cups flour

Directions:

In large bowl, add 2 cups boiling water to 1 cup oatmeal; let stand 1/2 hour. Sprinkle yeast into water, stir to dissolve. To rolled oats, add honey, salt, butter and dissolved yeast. Mix well. Gradually add flour, until dough is just slightly sticking to your finger when touched. Return to buttered bowl, cover with towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Divide into 2 portions. Shape into loaves and place in greased 9x5 loaf pans. Let rise about 30-40 minutes, bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Remove from pans and enjoy!

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!

Scrumptious Sugar Cookies

Sugar cookies are one of my favorite things to make with the kids! It's tradition to make them for a few different Holidays including Valentine's Day. While decorating is the usually the main purpose in making these, over the years I have tweaked the cookie recipe and frosting to make them absolutely scrumptious as well! So much yummier that buying a store-bought mix and canned frosting.  I would even be so bold as to say I think they are every bit as good, if not better, than Swig and Crumble! Give them a try and see if you agree.   My Scrumptious Sugar Cookie Frosting is an ultra creamy, cream cheese frosting with a few extra additions that put it over the top! Sour Cream adds to the creaminess and takes the sweetness down a notch.  The frosting is still plenty sweet but not sickeningly so.  Butter Vanilla Emulsion is my other secret weapon that really elevates the flavor of this frosting! It can be found on Amazon, or in a craft store like Michaels,  but...
