[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 420273, member: 6705"] I love cooking from scratch. I don't love doing the dishes and cleaning up afterwards. But I absolutely adore homemade bread - as long as I don't have to knead it! Food processors have a dough blade for this. My itty bitty Cuisinart was awesome, but the bowl only held 3 cups. One recipe is 6. So I got a Hamilton Beach, and killed the motor the 3rd time I used it. Got a Black & Decker, 3rd time I used it the dough blade and bowl fused together. They're sending me a new set... Problem is, they don't have a "slow" speed like the Cuisinart did. But I digress. The homemade bread, though I use white flour, I usually substitute 1/3 or 1/2 of it with rye or whole wheat flour. And I did notice the kids seem to be calmer. I'm seriously thinking about working on a gluten-reduced diet. But - I can't control what they eat elsewhere. Jett forgets his lunch more than he remembers it, even when he had a "cool" lunch bag. I gave up there. And Onyxx - well, she's a teen and is not home a lot (though on time every day for a week now...). So reduced. I stopped buying things with red 40 in them because BFF H is sensitive to it - makes her vomit - and noticed Jett's grades improved. I don't know if it is the red, or other stuff, but... I also now have to watch carefully - we got results from the longevity study husband's family is part of, and both have borderline-high blood sugar and cholesterol. Genetic... father in law has diabetes, the entire fam has high cholesterol. Ugh. [/QUOTE]
