> I liked the recipe so much I bought the authors’ healthy bread version, which focuses on whole grain breads. The ones I’ve made from the book are excellent.

Can I come for dinner? 😉 I love fresh baked bread.

I’ve enjoyed trying these soup recipes.

I made a pot of black-eyed peas earlier this week. Soak the dried beans in water overnight. Cook with chopped onion and ham scraps I bought at Kroger. I cook them in a box of chicken broth and water.

Serve with fresh baked cornbread.

This is my go-to stew recipe. Of course you don’t have to stick to the vegetables listed in the ingredient list; I usually throw in a potato in addition to carrots and onions. And whiskey works just as well as brandy. I bet red wine would be good, too, instead of the spirits.
