In the kitchen

Last updated : April 11, 2016

Monday was a “stay home” day for me knowing that the rest of my week was much busier. I made my list and got started as soon as everyone was out the door.

I spent more than half the day working in the kitchen. First was my dad’s recipe for Whole Pea Soup, so much better than split pea. Although finding dried whole peas is very difficult in the stores.

Next I started a batch of homemade bread, a recipe from my friend Sandy. I believe it was her grandma’s recipe.  I changed things a wee bit and the loaves still turned out really good.

While the bread was rising I stirred up a batch of pumpkin muffins from the Betty Crocker cookbook with some healthy substitutions. The recipes call for it to be in bread loaves but I just adjusted my time a bit. 20130225_1452

My last goodie before getting dinner prepped and in the oven was some Chewy, No Bake Granola Bars. They are so yummy! I put chocolate chips on half the bars since I’d rather have them plain. My photo was an afterthought as I was wrapping them up for individual servings.

They are so good!!!

I like domestic days…feels good to make things that are healthy and provide homemade, non-processed food for my family.

    YUM!! I’ve been putting off eating lunch, and now it’s time. Like you, if it’s in a box, I don’t buy it. I like how you eat healthy. Making a few things ahead saves a lot of time, too. Now I’m off to change my side bar.

    Mondays are my favorite day for doing things like that …. Before the week really takes off and begins dictating everything! Your granola bars look scrumptious – I would find it hard to eat just one!
