Oh, honey! Honey Wheat Bread

Honey Wheat Loaf

 
A couple of weekends ago, B made two loaves of honey wheat bread.  It was so delicious that I can't even remember the meals we had it with because they surely paled in comparison.  Truth be told, I think between the three of us, we nibbled & sliced our way through a whole loaf before dinner.  M has gotten so spoiled with B's baked goodness that she often snubs store-bought loaves.  Daddy's bread is on her regular list of demands, right up there with chuice, meelk, crackah and raizzzinzz.
