I made muffins out of a whim. It has carrots, pineapple, a touch of oats, whole wheat flour, egg whites, and agave nectar in it. Oh, and a dash of cinnamon and ginger, and an ocean of my love. That’s right. If you’re wondering where the butter and the sugar are, there aren’t any. And I adore them just the same. And then I gave it my family to eat.

My first real sandwich bread, in whole wheat
As much as it shames me, I must admit, I have yet to properly study The Bread Baker’s Apprentice, which I had bought months ago.

If you ask me how many pretzels I have been making lately, I will simply shrug. I’ve been trying so many different recipes I’ve actually lost count. I reckon I have too many pretzel-making plans. But to take a break from the search for the pretzel, I decided to deviate from all that white starch and make something a little healthier; still pretzels, yes, but with the addition of hearty whole wheat flour. I like eating whole wheat bread on a regular basis, mostly because I like the muted flavour of grains, and the nice texture to boot. Plus it’s really filling and great for digestion. There’s been a lot…
