a bread recipe

Oops ... somehow this post did not upload.  So here we go a bit later than expected. :) 

Earlier this week, a work colleague gave me a slice of her homemade bread.  It was so tasty that I asked her for the recipe and then made it on Saturday.  It's a super easy one (once you find all the healthy ingredients, that took me a while, since things aren't always that easy to find over here).  It doesn't have to rise ... the annoying part was scratching the dough out of the mixing bowl and into a loaf pan.  Between two meals and a few snacks here and there, Felix and I ate over half of it in two days!  I think adding honey would make it really tasty, too.  It reminded me of the Honey Oat bread that Subway has, which I LOVE!  I may have to try that sometime...any ideas on how much honey I could add?

Irish Soda Bread

3 1/2 cups whole meal flour
4 tbsp oats
3 tbspwheat bran (or wheat germ)
1 tbsp flaxseed (I actually left this out)
2 tbsp brown sugar (or less, that's what my husband would prefer!)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
A little less than 2 cups buttermilk (you can make butter milk by putting 2 tbsp of apple vinegar with a little less than 2 cups of milk together)

Mix the dry ingredients together, add the milk, bake at 400F/200C for about 40 minutes.

Enjoy!  Let me know if you like it and if you try it w/ honey!! :)

10 Months

Baby Z is ten months today.  She's moving into toddlerhood and out of babyness...boo hoo....She's starting to have her own little will and get angry when things don't go her way.  She's realized she can make us laugh.  She loves watching little kids and squeals with delight.  Stroller rides are a favorite and also nice for a little snooze at times.  Cheerios are another favorite {she's a great eater, just not a good drinker}.  Sleeping through the night is almost an everyday occurrence {PTL!}!  Her sleeping postions are always quite amusing...you never know how you will find her.  She's incredibly curious and loves getting into things {empty boxes, laundry baskets, bags, etc is highly entertaining}.  If a cellphone or computer are somewhere near her, she doesn't waste any time getting to them.  She has so much energy.  Naps are kept short, often a half hour, if I'm lucky an hour.  I'm so thankful for this sweet, little, energy bundle.  I look forwa

Welcoming strangers into my home

For 16 weeks now, we have had a young refugee couple from Syria living with us. They have been married a little over a year and for the majority of that time have been separated from each other, since he made the journey to Austria alone and got everything in order so that she could come legally.  Let me backtrack a bit and tell you how it all started. As the refugee crisis really started to explode here, facebook was buzzing with articles, videos, pictures, etc. of the situation. I read a lot. I saw a lot. I was moved. I was troubled. But what could I do? I had a three year old and one year old at home.  ... I could teach some German. But when?   ... I could donate clothes and other items that were needed. But that didn't seem like enough. ... I could give money. But I wanted something more tangible.  I would put my youngest to bed and during those days, she needed lots of TLC in order to get to sleep. I kept thinking about the refugees and how they didn't
