@ronott1 normally I use white wheat for my whole wheat breads. Today I'm going to try Deb's recipe with all wheat flour, but thinking about either red wheat or spelt instead. I know whole grain flour takes more water, is there anything else I should be considering?

Hard red will work without much help because it has plenty of gluten. Spelt has less gluten so it helps to add some gluten flour. The bread can be a bit flat otherwise.

Still tastes great though!

All purpose flour for my husband (

Hard red it is. We'll see how it turns out.

All of the talk about Christmas cookies... check out this girls videos:

As beautiful as that cookie is, there's no way id tale so much time to decorate something that the kids are going to scarf down over the next couple days lol.

Somehow, over the next few days, I need to find time to make up some sugar cookies, peanut butter cookies, and chocolate chip. Probably on Sunday. I risky got my mom's recipe for sugar cookies. They've been a favorite for forever but no recipe I found could compare to them. She actualy told me the story of that recipe the other day. When she was a little kid, they knew this old lady with a farm that made incredible sugar cookies. My grandma finally managed to get the recipe from her and eventually passed it down to my mom. Now I have it too. I can't wait to make some!

They are very beautiful but not sure if it would be worth it to spend all day working on decorations 2 dozen cookies that are going to be eaten in 15 minutes.

Yeah, I could see making a batch of more simple cookies and doing 1-2 of the super fancy ones for an accent though...
