Don't you think it's about time that we create a Family Cookbook? Well, I DO! I've spent some time researching trying to come up with the easiest (free) way to get it going, and I believe this is it. Please post any of your favorite recipes, also any tips -- cooking, household, beauty, whatever -- and any inspirational thoughts (whether your own, or someone else's.) I would LOVE to have pictures to include as well. You could take pictures of the dishes/recipes you are submitting, or even just great pictures (or even below average pictures) of you and your family!

Please label each post with an appropriate label (i.e., salad, dessert, vegetarian, household tip, inspiration, etc.) Go ahead and add labels as needed; and it's ok to have more than one label per recipe/post.

My plan is to take what we assemble here, and put it into book form. I would love to have it ready for our Thanksgiving Extravaganza!

Old-Fashioned Soda Bread

2 c. whole wheat flour
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 1/3 tsp. baking soda
2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
2 cups buttermilk or plain yogurt

In a bowl, combine wheat flour and all-purpose flour.  Add baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt.  Add buttermilk or yogurt.  Mix and knead until a soft dough forms.  It should still feel wet.  Turn onto lightly floured surface and knead a few times, just until dough sticks together.  Form into a round loaf.  With a floured knife, make some slits on the top of the loaf.  Place on a lightly greased baking sheet.  Bake at 375 to 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or until bread is golden brown and the inside is cooked.  Serve immediately with butter and/or jam or cheese.
