How It All Began...

I found out I had a food intolerances in an odd way. I was living in Florida at the time and had been happily eating whatever I wanted. After a bout of severe irritable bowel and anxiety issues I decided something had to be done. On the recommendation of a friend, I went to see a Naturopathic Dr. I took what was called a Carroll Test and, lo and behold, it came back that I was intolerant to Dairy, Soy and Sugar. The Dr. told me to removed all those items from my diet and eventually my body would heal itself.
It's been three years of altering recipes so I don't feel like I miss out on all my old favourites. Along the way, I've spoken to many people who have these same intolerances. I couldn't find anywhere with recipes that were already altered so this is for anyone else with similar intolerances that still has a love of food like I do!
Let the adventure in the kitchen begin!

Margeson Bread- A staple in my life!

Margeson Bread is a recipe that my grandmother gave me when she found out I couldn't have sugar. Most bread has sugar in it and this one uses honey! Its so tasty, especially right out of the oven! I've made it so many times I could probably make it with my eyes closed!

Margeson Bread
2 C Warm Water
1/4 C Honey
2 TBSP of oil ( I prefer a canola-olive oil mix)

3 C of Whole Wheat Flour
2 C of All Purpose Flour
pinch of salt 
1 package of quick rise yeast

Directions: 
*Add first three ingredients in a bowl. Stir honey around so it is absorbed by the water. 
*Add all dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
* Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix together until you have a well formed ball.
*Knead this ball for a good 5-10 minutes. Put ball back into bowl. 
* Cover this bowl and let it rise for 1 hour.
*Take dough ball back out of bowl and transfer into greased pans.
*Let rise.( The time depends on you. I usually try to go for another half hour- hour... I get a little impatient at this point)
*Bake at 350 degrees F for about 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
*Remove from oven and let cool. Enjoy the tasty goodness!

This recipe will make two loaves of yummy bread!
