Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread

Soft and Squishy all week long. This is currently being made every week instead of buying bread...cuz the Food Storage whole wheat and dry canned milk has got to got to go. We eat about one recipe a week. It is my only whole wheat bread now. Makes 4 good size loaves. Freeze well cooked or raw. Tips: 1) MUST RISE TWICE. 2) Can't be cooked too long. 20 minutes max or gets dried out, but 15 is too short I found out this week. 3) I always add gluten. 1 bag of gluten about 3 cups has lasted me 4 years. 11/10/09 So I have started using white wheat from my food storage, which is lighter and makes it less dense, and no molasses, which I ran out of and I found taste better. It needs to cook for at least 25 minutes, today was 20 minutes, and it was WAY to squishy for me.

CornBread and Bacon Stuffed Pork Chops

From Betty Crocker Cookbook These are a staple in my home. Even better when I have the most delicious garden green bell peppers outside. Very southern. Bacon and cornbread freeze well so it doesn't take too long to throw together. 6 pork chops 4 slices bacon 1 med. onion 1 small green pepper 1 c. cornbread stuffing 1/2 c. water 1/2 c. shredded cheese 1/2 tsp. seasoned salt 1/4 tsp. pepper Cook bacon. Stir in onion and pepper. Cook 2-3 minutes. Drain. Stir together stuffing, water, veggies, bacon, cheese. Stuff pork chops. Sprinkle seasoned salt and pepper on both sides and brown. I dump the remainder of the stuffing over the top. Cook covered 45 minutes, uncovered 15 minutes at 350F.
