This is seriously the world's best spinach and artichoke dip! It's creamy and fairly low fat. I use low fat cream cheese, but you could use fat free. This slimmed down version of your favorite dip is easy to make--and it's light enough for you to load up on it! This can also become a decadent pasta sauce. (As a sauce, it makes 10 servings. You might need to thin it a bit with cooking water from the pasta.)

YUMMIER THAN YOUR REGULAR OLD PEANUT BUTTER!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together banana, sugar, egg and vanilla. Stir in the yogurt (I've used applesauce when out of plain yogurt as well). Stir banana mixture into flour until just combined. Scoop batter into prepared muffin cups.
Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean. Let cool before serving.

I wanted to try a recipe out of a new cook book. My family enjoyed but I think I will put some corn starch in next time to thicken the gravy.

This recipe is for 3 loaves of bread, 2 for the week and one to freeze. It is meant to be made with a stand mixer, but you don't need one. This has more good fat and fiber than most recipes.

This recipe is best for sandwiches, toast, french toast, dinner rolls, and sub rolls (adjust sizes).

This bread is dense, filling and good for you! You can add some wheat gluten to make it rise a little more and make it a little less dense.

I use 1 cup Bread flour to soften the bread - makes a better sandwich. You could use all Whole Wheat if you prefer

Nobody believes this is made from 100% whole wheat bread. The secret is the three risings.

Submitted by LEEROCKS

I got this recipe from my sister, and it is wonderful. It can be made the traditional way, but it also works well in a bread machine. It makes one standard size (roughly 8"X4" or slightly larger) loaf.

If you don't have vital wheat gluten, substitute more flour. The texture will not be quite as good, but it will work and tastes fine.

My husband is salt sensitive, so I do not add salt. The original recipe called for 2 heaping teaspoons salt, which I think is excessive anyway, but add some if you like.

I use bulk yeast. If you use the packets, two of them equal about 4.5 teaspoons yeast.

Most of the prep time is the rise time. You need to be around to check on it, but you can do other things.

Now, let me say first, I am not claiming this is a "healthy crazy good for ya" bread. It's just plain good and is better for you than most store bought HFCS breads. :)
I am posting this since I have close friends who eat this bread every time I make it and they need access to the info.
