I've recently had some requests for various recipes of mine. So, eat your heart out!

Whole Wheat Waffles

2 cups milk

2 eggs

1/4 tsp. salt

1/8 cup oil (OPTIONAL)

2-2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

1 Tbl. baking powder

Mix all ingredients and pour into the waffle iron. For pancakes, add more milk/less flour. Batter can be refrigerated for up to 5-7 days. Reheat leftover waffles in the toaster to keep them crispy.

Buttermilk Syrup

1 cup buttermilk

1 stick butter

1 cup sugar

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Stir buttermilk, butter, and sugar together in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, boil for one minute. Using a whisk, stir in baking soda and vanilla.

**For Coconut Buttermilk Syrup: Instead of 1 tsp. vanilla, stir in 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp coconut flavoring with the baking soda.

Caramel Popcorn

2 cubes butter (not margarine)

2 cups brown sugar

1 cup karo syrup

1 can sweetened condensed milk

Combine butter, sugar, and karo in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat stirring continuously. Bring to a boil and add sweet milk. Bring to a boil again and let boil for 30 seconds to a minute, stirring continuously. Let cool in pan for 1 minute. Pour over 4 bags of microwave popcorn. Stir until coated evenly. Let cool for 5-10 minutes.

Whole Wheat Bread

6 cups warm water

2/3 cup oil

2/3 cup honey

2/3 cup honey

8 cups wheat flour

2 Tbl. wheat gluten

2 Tbl. dough enhancer

3 Tbl. yeast

2 Tbl. salt

4-8 cups wheat flour

2 Tbl. liquid lecithin (optional)

In Bosch mixer, combine water, oil, honey, and lecithin. Add 8 cups flour. On top of flour, add gluten, dough enhancer, yeast, and salt. “Jog” mixer. Mix on speed 1 until smooth. Add additional flour based on specific wheat. (Golden Wheat = 4 cups). Mix on speed 2 for 8-10 minutes until sides and bottom are cleaned off. Grease pans. Put shortening on hands and form into 5-6 loaves. Let raise. Place in a cool oven and set it to 350° for 35 minutes.

**For multi-grain bread, replace 2 cups of flour with 2 cups of 9 Grain Cereal and then mix for 8-10 minutes. Everything else should be the same.

Black Bean Brownies

1 brownie mix (any normal size will do)

1 can black beans

1 cup water

Drain and rinse black beans so the water runs completely clear. Pour black beans into a blender and add water. Blend until smooth. Add to the brownie mix in a medium sized bowl. Bake as directed on the box.
