Back on Track
Now that I am back on track I can
continue creating homemade bread recipes using healthy ingredients; such as
carrots, yams, and apples. My favorite bread recipe so far is made with almonds
and cottage cheese, the flavor is amazing; it has a nutty cheesy flavor. I used 2% cottage cheese in place of salt and
almonds instead of fat and sugar.
What made me think of using these
ingredients you ask? It all started three years ago when my cholesterol was a
little high. Since taking Statin drugs was not an option for me, I decided to
watch the bad fats and lose a few pounds. We all know what being on a diet
means, no more tasty bread. Well I love bread, I missed not having my comfort
food. So I decided; “If I am going to eat a healthy diet for the rest of my
life, I must have BREAD!”
Bread certainly isn’t a new
invention. The history of bread goes back 30,000 years. Making bread is
therapeutic and I feel connected somehow to ancestors in ancient times. Who
knows, perhaps Cleopatra is a long lost relative! Okay, so I do have quite an active imagination!
When you think about it, bread is one
food that is known worldwide no matter what culture. Bread is symbolic and used so often in idioms
such as; breaking bread, the upper crust,
better than sliced bread, man does not live on bread alone, know which side of
one’s bread is buttered, and quotes
from the bible; the body of Christ, the
bread of life. The list goes on.
