Colonial Brown Bread

From Kathy Borkowski via Allrecipes.com

 

Really good moist bread to whip up for dinner or toasting or both!

 

Ingredients:

4 cups whole wheat flour

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup brown or coconut sugar

4 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

4 cups (1 quart) buttermilk

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease 2 loaf pans (about 9×5). In a large bowl mix all dry ingredients well. Sally uses a whisk to do this. Then stir in the buttermilk all at once. Immediately, divide the batter between the 2 prepared pans and bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean.

 

Great to serve with dinner and or soup. Makes wonderful toast too. Store well wrapped in the fridge. Or freeze after slicing, so you can take as many slices as you like out of the freezer. The frozen slices will thaw quickly at room temperature.

Lemony Butternut Squash Soup over Brown Rice

Serves 6

 

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp olive oil

1 onion, chopped

4 ribs celery, chopped

1 bunch carrots, peeled and chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 pounds skinless boneless chicken thighs cut into bite-size pieces

8 cups chicken bone broth (4 cups to make stew)

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried thyme

3 cups cubed butternut squash (I use frozen)

1 tsp salt

½ tsp pepper

5 oz baby spinach

1 lemon, juiced

 

1 cup brown rice cooked according to package directions. Start the rice before you start making the soup. Keep the rice warm while making the soup.

 

Directions:

Heat the oil in a soup pot (at least 5 quart size). Add the chopped onion and saute until translucent. Add chopped celery, onion and carrots; saute until soft. Add garlic and saute for a minute or two. Add the oregano, thyme, salt and pepper.

 

Stir in the diced chicken and the cubed butternut squash. Add the chicken bone broth. Heat on high until just beginning to boil. Turn the heat down, and simmer for 12 minutes or until the chicken and squash are cooked through.

 

Stir in the spinach and lemon juice. Cook until the spinach has wilted – spinach wilts quickly.

 

Serve over the cooked brown rice.

 

Accompany with a crusty bread and sharp cheese. Mmm, delicious!
