Not baking but tonights dinner is simple for lucy and i. Cheddar cheese slices and Avacodo dip.
Avocado dip
Two avocados
8oz/ 1 cup cottages cheese
Half a slice of lemon juiced (just the juice and depend on how good the avacodos are)
One teaspoon garlic salt
Half(3/4) teaspoons black pepper
Serves about two but depends on how much you eat
Masg the avacodos and mix the rest in with them after you mash them. Serve with chips or grab a fork and inhale(in my case i inhale it)

That sounds good. Thing 2 might be willing to try it too.

Its lucy's facorite if all else fails to get protien in her this does. Cottages cheese has high level of protien per serving and she loves it. I tend to serve it with meats i know she might not eat that way she gets some form of protien.

Just put a loaf of bread in the oven and the chicken noodle soup has been simmering for a while now. The soup came together really fast. I baked several chicken breast last week, shredded the meat off the bones and froze it in portion-size freezer baggies. Just had to pull one out of the freezer and the soup was on!

I just finished eating the rest of my chicken noodle soup I made the other day. I would have loved fresh bread with it, yum!

Saddly I doubt my picky eater would touch it. She does not do sauces or dips, or even spreads. Today I cut a slice of banana bread for her and spread some butter on it, even warned it up. She saw it and was in tears, "I don't like butter!" Thing 2 though, her I have to watch, that girl eats butter by the handfuls. If I mistakenly leave the butter on the table, she climbs the table to get to it so she can eat it.
Those two are like day and night, even look completely different.

Lmao lucy use to love butter like that, she went through a phase to where she wouldnt eat toast with butter on it she wanted dry lol. Bow she eat it again but before she would cry and say yuck lol. Kids are funny things.

I'm really not having much luck with my bread making. Last time it was too dry and I had to add water half way through the rise. This time I've somehow added too much water and had to knead some flour in half way through the rise duh

Oh well it turned out to look perfect. Will be interesting how it tastes when it cools a bit.

Tried something different too, bought a bakery loaf and noticed how it can easily be torn in half so was thinking they have put it in as two halves rather than one long piece of dough in the bread tin. So I did the same and it's given me a much more uniform height loaf rather than one high in the middle. Much better for sand which slicing.

I found this:

I use a rolling pin, roll the bread flat and the roll it up and pinch the ends and bottom. I like the way this looks so will likely try it next time.

When my Mom taught me to make bread, she said that you kneed it adding flour until the dough looked and felt "right". That takes time and practice. Since the water content in the flour is never the same, the amount you use will always be off from a recipe. Bread recipes, for the water and flour amounts are guides.

My problem is I was being lazy both times and using my bread makers dough cycle. So you tend to miss that it's too dry or wet.
