Chili in a bread bowl

I must say....I am pretty proud of myself for this one! I made bread bowls! It's really not hard at all. I just made bread dough in my bread machine or you can just use rhodes rolls. Just make a big roll of dough, making sure the tops are smooth and bake at 375 for 35-45 mins. (until tops are brown.)

We put chili in ours. It was so yummy.

Chili
2 cans Ranch beans
1 can corn
1 can crushed tomatoes
1 lb. cooked hamburger

Yum Yum and Yum!!!

A New Recipe

We decided it was time we start using our wheat that we got for food storage. So we broke out the grinder and we ground up a bunch of wheat. (well, not a bunch, just some) We started off by making bread, and it was YUMMY! It was so good that my Mother-in-Law has asked me to make their bread and is paying me to do it. So that's a plus.

It's been a lot of fun trying new things and using our wheat and grinding it. More fun than I thought it would be. I was blog hopping and I found this really FUN blog called Kara's Kitchen Creations and its full of yummy and wonderful recipes. We found this recipe for whole wheat cookies and thought we would give it a try. They were DELICIOUS and the kids couldn't even tell they were wheat. (I couldn't either) So here it is and if you get a chance, check out Kara's Kitchen Creations!
