Allow to rise until double in bulk in a warm place (about an hour). Punch down and knead again for about 3 to 5 minutes, until the dough softens. Shape into a rough loaf and put into a well greased large loaf pan. Oil lightly and allow to rise 15 to 20 minutes or until the loaf is just starting to rise over the lip of the loaf pan. Heat oven to 400f .. bake at 400f for 5 minutes and then reduce to 350f. Bake another 20 to 25 minutes. The top should be brown. Allow to sit for a couple of minutes and then remove from the pan. Allow to cool. Fresh bread is amazing, but it does not like to be sliced. Made this one today and it's sooooo good. so..... what are hemp hearts? i've seen hemp fiber, hemp lotions etc. but not hemp hearts 3

Thanks, I didn’t know what they were, either. If one was to buy this in a grocery store, I’m thinking they would be found in the organic food section, yes? 3

Maybe? 🤔 My Amish market has a whole section of spices, seeds and different flours. They're similar to sunflower seeds so that's where'd I look. 3
kbois Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 I'm still amazed at some people's ineptitude. The previous manager sent specs in for one of the empty lots and she placed the driveway on the wrong side of the lot! Of course it didn't get caught until the construction supervisor came to measure and stake out where the house will be dropped. (in 3 weeks) Previous manager was supposed to have the floor plan reversed so the existing driveway could be used. Now it's adding $3500 PLUS the cost of pouring a new driveway. SMH... Seriously....how could you not notice a freaking driveway is on the wrong side??? Other than than it's been a quiet day so far. One more week. Just one. I need to get through the next 7 days. 168-ish hours. ✈ 4

That reminds me of what you're describing. 1 3

They really are nice. I add them to bread, salads ... lots of things. They are very nice on their own or on peanut butter. Full of lots of good things, you're right. I now buy the biggest bag they offer but they get used. 3

I like mine on Greek yogurt with a bit of granola too. We've also used them in homemade cracker recipes. The nice oils in them do wonderful things when baked. 3 1
Site Moderator Reader1810 Posted May 20, 2021 Site Moderator Posted May 20, 2021 One of the things I like as part of my lunch which I learned from a health conscious doctor I worked with years ago is this: Mix equal parts any flavour yogurt and puréed cottage together. I usually used a single serve yogurt with the same amount of cottage cheese. Why puréed cottage cheese you ask? Well, that’s how he did it, and besides I can’t abide cottage cheese in its normal lumpy state. I puréed the cottage cheese in my mini food processor and then put it all back in its original container. It kept well like that in the fridge for the days - probably used within a week - I needed it to. Not only is it nutritious, it’s delicious, refreshing, and filling. That’s my two cents for today. 3 2

Cottage cheese has a very different taste when it’s puréed vs. when it’s lumpy. It’s been a while, but I was curious, so I tried it to see what it tastes like. This is me when it’s in its lumpy state: Edited May 20, 2021 by Reader1810 1 1
Mikiesboy Posted May 20, 2021 Author Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) Cottage cheese is okay. I use it to make eggy muffins.

I made quinoa tonight and threw in some seasoning and diced tomatoes to go along with some stuffed flounder. That stuff is just as bad as chia and flax seeds. If someone could explain how it ended up in my hair.. . I'd love to know. I do know how to use utensils....lol 4
