I have recently tried two new dessert recipes - "Nearly No Fat Fudge Brownies" & "Basic Whole Grain Cookies." I actually liked the second one better. I have made tortillas two more times and I have discovered that I absolutely love Taco Salad. I haven't bought the stuff I need yet to make my February Challenge of Lemon Meringue Pie, but I will. I tried a new pork stir fry recipe that was really good but that I think would have been even better without the pork.
Anyways... today was a potluck at church and I had decided that I would make bread for it. I suck at potlucks - no one ever eats what I bring - so I thought bread would be the solution. I was also out of bread for home which meant that yesterday I had to make 2 batches of bread (4 loaves). I should have started earlier because after I made our two loaves of white wheat bread, it was supper time. We made taco salad, ate it, then put the boys to bed. Then I had to start the bread for today. Well, I had decided I was going to make Caramelized Onion Bread. So at 7pm there I was dicing the onions, crying over the onions, and finally caramelizing the onions. The loaves were finally done at 9:38 which seemed a little ridiculous to me to be making bread so late. They looked good, but I didn't dare cut into them until today. This was only my second time trying this recipe, and it turned out so good again! Last time I just made one giant round loaf, but this time I split it into two loaf pans to make them and easier size to slice. Only one loaf got eaten at church, but I am totally okay with that because now I get to eat the other. Here's the recipe:
