Whole wheat bread

Ingredients

• 3 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
• 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
• 1/3 cup honey 5 cups bread flour 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/3 cup honey 1 tablespoon salt
• 3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix warm water, yeast, and 1/3 cup honey. Add 5 cups white bread flour, and stir to combine. Let set for 30 minutes, or until big and bubbly.
2. Mix in 3 tablespoons melted butter, 1/3 cup honey, and salt. Stir in 2 cups whole wheat flour. Flour a flat surface and knead with whole wheat flour until not real sticky - just pulling away from the counter, but still sticky to touch. This may take an additional 2 to 4 cups of whole wheat flour. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to coat the surface of the dough. Cover with a dishtowel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled.
3. Punch down, and divide into 3 loaves. Place in greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pans, and allow to rise until dough has topped the pans by one inch.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes; do not overbake. Lightly brush the tops of loaves with 2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine when done to prevent crust from getting hard. Cool completely

Vegetable Salad

Ingredients

• 6 slices bacon
• 3 cups chopped broccoli
• 3 cups chopped cauliflower
• 3 cups chopped celery
• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen green peas, thawed
• 1 cup sweetened dried cranberries (such as Craisins®)
• 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 2 tablespoons grated onion
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup Spanish peanuts

Instructions

1. Place bacon in a large deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain bacon on a paper towel-lined plate; crumble. 
2. Mix broccoli, cauliflower, celery, peas, and cranberries in a large bowl. 
3. Whisk mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, sugar, onion, vinegar, and salt together in a bowl. Pour dressing over the salad; add nuts and bacon and toss well.

Fried Eggs

Ingredients

• 1 fresh large egg*
• 3/4 tablespoon butter
• Salt and freshly-ground black pepper

* Use the freshest and best eggs you can find.  When frying more than one (1) egg at a time, add eggs all at once.  Crack eggs into small bowls and add them to the skillet.

Instructions

1. Preheat the frying pan.  Place a small non-stick frying pan over the lowest possible heat on your stove (if using gas, you should barely see the blue flame).
2. Add the butter and let slowly melt, making sure it does not foam and is not sizzling.  When all the butter has melted, crack the egg into a small bowl, dish, or saucer (taking care not to break the yolk and to remove any shell fragments).
3. Using gas - you should barely see the blue flame.
4. Butter in the pan waiting to slowly melt.
5. Egg on small saucer.

Frying the egg:

1. Gently slide the egg out of the dish into the frying pan and cover with a lid.  The lid traps heat and steam so that the egg cooks from above as well as below.
2. Continue cooking, approximately 5 minutes, until the egg white solidifies from transparency into snow-white cream; the yolk will thicken slightly as it heats.
3. How quickly the egg cooks is dependent on how low you have the heat.  Do not flip the eggs but leave the egg sunny-side up and natural.
4. When your egg is done, slide cooked egg onto a serving plate.  Sprinkle with fresh cracked pepper, salt, and serve.
5. Egg in frying pan before placing lid on top.
6. Pan covered with lid.
7. After approximately 5 minutes, fried egg is cooked.
8. Time to remove perfectly cooked fry egg from pan.
