When a few of us went on the tour of the Food Storage Center we talked about using wheat to make bread. This is a recipe that several sisters said they use and they wanted me to share it with the rest of you. You can use all wheat flour or use part wheat flour and part white flour if desired. I believe they use a bread mixer to mix the dough. I made a batch last week and it turned out great and my family really enjoyed it!

Homemade Wheat Bread

2/3 cup oil
2/3 cup honey
5 cups hot water
1 Tblsp. salt
10-12 cups flour (wheat or white, or a combination of them)
3 Tblsp. yeast

Mix oil, honey, water and salt together. Add 4 cups of the flour and mix until smooth. Then add yeast. Mix and add the additional 6-8 cups flour. Add flour until dough starts to leave sides of bowl. Knead for 10 minutes. Let rest for 5-10 minutes. Divide into 4 loaves and place in greased pans. Let rise for 30 minutes or so. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes. Bread is finished when you tap it and it sounds hollow.

It is going to be important to have comfort food in the times of trial/emergency. This is an easy recipe with off the shelf ingredients.

You can also just pour rounds of candy on a greased cookie sheet and roll a sucker in the round until it is coated.

Hints:

**Walmart also has flavor oil.
**Johnsonflavors.com also has a great variety of flavors and the metal molds (my favorite)
**All in One Cake decorating on 183 also has plastic hard candy molds (be use and use the white plastic molds--clear molds are for chocolate only.)

Berry Wonderful Breakfast Cobbler (Oatmeal)

I found a great new recipe from a food storage book that I thought I would tell you about. It is a recipe for oatmeal that you can eat for breakfast and it’s all done in the microwave. I make ahead the mix and store in sandwich baggies and then just pour into a bowl, add water, microwave, and then add the frozen blueberries and microwave again. Pour on milk and enjoy! It is very healthy and delicious oatmeal, with lots of good stuff for you. I love it! It makes a lot, so even a half serving is quite filling. If you don't have the blueberries you could certainly used sliced bananas on top instead. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

From: I Dare You to Eat It, by Liesa Card (Food Storage book))

Fresh ingredients: 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
(milk, for on top of the oatmeal, when serving)

Storage ingredients:

1/4 cup rolled oats (not old fashioned or instant)
1/4 cup walnuts, crumbled
1 Tblsp. golden raisins
1 Tbslp. Craisins
1 Tblsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup water (I use 2/3 cup water)

Toss all ingredients except blueberries in a large glass bowl and microwave for 1 1/2 minutes. Add the frozen blueberries and microwave an additional 45 seconds. Add milk and enjoy! Tastes like a dessert!
