Baking Again

Tripp and I have been busy in the kitchen again. First, we made some bread. Honey whole wheat bread to be exact. The first loaf we made was a little too dense for our liking so after reading some reviews, I decided to add a little more yeast and then also did 1 cup bread flour and 2 cups whole wheat (instead of all 3 wheat). It was excellent. I might even go as far as making it on a regular basis for our sandwich bread. But that is taking a step towards being Pioneer Woman or something and I am not sure ready for that. Cause then I would have to start growing vegetables in my back yard, give up refined sugar and only buy meat that is from grass fed, free range, daily manicured and pedicured cows. And not that I have anything against that (I really do not, I promise), I just am not there yet. But it does seem like a slippery slope, and making your own bread might just be the beginning of that slope. So in order to take a step back, I decided to make a recipe that I have been thinking about for a while. Oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies. I now understand why the recipe calls for more flour than normal. But after using the typical amount, we were all out and I did not feel back to the store again.


So I think I will just do some dividing up, get a cold glass of milk, and enjoy a cookie inside a cookie.
