Heart Healthy Birthday Treat


Today is Alan's birthday. Last night I asked him if he wanted me to make him a birthday cake today. He quickly ansered in the negative because we are trying to cut back on our sugar consumption. Therefore, instead of a cake, I made him some whole wheat bread. Thank you, Gayle, (if you are reading this) for sharing your recipe with me. This is the best whole wheat bread I've ever made. It is and light and airy and melt-in-your-mouth good, if I must say so myself. I'm hoping that eating this bread instead of cake will do our hearts good. I just have to remember not to overload the slices with butter and home-made strawberry jam or honey, which is a big temptation.
Oh....now I'm craving another piece. Will you excuse me, my mouth is watering and I've gotta run to the kitchen for more.

I love Gayle's bread recipe. Very yummy. But my kids won't eat it yet.

Although I would miss the cake for a birthday, there is nothing like homemade bread! You've inspired me to pull out my bread pans. Thanks!

You just motivated me to make bread for Tuesday's dinner. It looks great and I know it tastes great!
