Lately I've been trying to find filling snacks for my kids' growing appetites. Here are two of our favorite recipes that I made this week that are healthy and filling and easy to make (thank you Ms. Kim):
Molasses Bread (Tasha Tudor's recipe):
1 c. molasses
1/4 c. butter
Throw together in large bowl. Then pour 4 c. boiling water over it. Let soak for 1 hr.
In 1 c. lukewarm water, stir in 4 1/2 tsp. of yeast in (then I sprinkle a little sugar on it and cover with saran wrap until nice and foamy- takes a couple of minutes).
Pour yeast mixture in big bowl mixture and mix in 9-10 cups of flour well. Knead for 8 min. Smooth into a big ball. Put a little oil in bowl and coat the dough on both sides and plop it back in the bowl. Take a clean dishtowel, put under hot tap water, wring out, put over bowl to add warmth and moisture. Let sit for 1 hour.
I cut my big ball into 4 large loaves. Put them in the greased bread pans. Let them sit an hour with the dishtowel trick over them again.
Preheat oven to 350. Bake for 45-60 min, depending on your pans you use.
This bread is delicious! Very moist inside and I love molasses so it was love at first bite.
Homemade Granola Bars
1 heaping cup of peanut butter
4 TB. oil
3/4 c. sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp. salt
4 tsp. vanilla
Mix all together well then add:
5 c. oatmeal
some chocolate chips or dried fruit or nuts
Bake in a 9x13 inch pan at 350 for 12 minutes. YUM!

Thanks for sharing. I'll be making the bread soon and will let you know if my brood love it as much as yours!
You go girl! Filling to say the least, I can barely zip my skirts
anymore. Could it possibly be you are suppose to only eat one slice of bread, not one loaf at a time!
