Sharing aromas



There are few things as pleasant as the smell of baking bread wafting from the oven throughout the house. It's so good, in fact, that Nicki and I wanted to share it.

Thanks to a little inspiration from our friends Dena and Kari, we decided to share with you what Nicki is creating in the kitchen.

It all started at the first of the year with a crusade against high-fructose corn syrup. We were appalled to find it even in our grocery store-bought whole wheat bread.

So Nicki, despite her "terribly busy schedule" at work, began researching alternatives; she decided to take kneading into her own hands. The results have been fabulous. From sour dough to multi-grain, bagels to pizza dough, she's baking it all and more. We'll share all we can here in hopes that soon you'll have those comforting, homey, anti-HFCS smells coming from your oven.

mmm...I'm trying to have enough energy to make bread soon. I have this wonderful hearty whole wheat bread recipe from my mom. It's really hearty and not very fluffy, but it's SO good. And it only has to rise once!

We should have a bread swap sometime!
