    Bread homemade or store bought?

    I wasn't telling you specifically to make your own bread lol. This thread is not about you or me, but shared experiences and advice by many. You take from it what you want, you don't have to take it all, or any of it. We all have the right to share you know.... It takes 5 minutes to put it in...

    Bread homemade or store bought?

    It's hard in my area to find brands that don't have many additives and when you do, at say, whole foods, their super expensive. That's what I meant up above when I said I can't buy all organic stuff, economics is always a factor. If we could as easily grow our own veggies and fruits we would...

    Where do I find DRY NON artificial flavorings w/OUT added sugars & Preservatives?

    Thank you. I looked and their orange is perhaps the only one that would go well with chocolate, but at least it's one flavor to start with :) Something is up with their site, I can't check out. I may have to call them. It gives me hope if they can make orange without anything else, then someone...

    Bread homemade or store bought?

    You're right. We all got sick of the bread machine bread over time. It was good, but everyday for years is too much. So my had began making other varieties including baguettes. Their not just different shape, totally different flavor. You can make ciabbatas as well by making the dough in the...

    Bread homemade or store bought?

    I don't know chopper, you laughed when someone else kinda made fun of me. But sure I will ask him this weekend when I visit & let you guys know :) But 3 things you should know: 1. If you don't have time for putting ingredients in a bread maker and letting IT do all the work, you likely won't...

    Where do I find DRY NON artificial flavorings w/OUT added sugars & Preservatives?

    Thanks! Are they all natural no added sugar and preservatives? I haven't seen them in my store in that section. If you get a chance when you are in again, could you please let me know what brand they are?

    Where do I find DRY NON artificial flavorings w/OUT added sugars & Preservatives?

    I want to add the following to a dry mix (not all at once, individually depending on mood) mint, vanilla, orange, hazelnut etc...basically anything that goes well with chocolate. But, it must be dried powder form. And it must dissolve easily in water with aggressive stirring, not a mixer...

    Bread homemade or store bought?

    I completely agree cooking goddess, there are exceptions, but not in the regular bread aisle. Buying fresh from the bakery helps a lot. It's true, it takes time. My dad is quick but only because he's done it so long.

    Bread homemade or store bought?

    True, but too much of a good thing....you know what they say.... store bought breads have like 4 or 5 grams of sugar per slice and we get use to that flavor. That is ridiculous, that's a teaspoon of sugar in one thin slice! It's not a dessert. My dad uses a tablepoon for the entire loaf and 1.5...

    Dehydrating Liquid Heavy Cream

    I would use it for both coffee as well as recipes, but how can one be a third more fat for the same thing and same grams? Also not sure which additives are not as bad for both products.

    Milk Chocolate VS. Dark (& Semi Sweet)

    And yet when comparing fats between milk and dark, their also the same for the same size. I don't get it :( What is the deal with undweetened cocoa powder? What is that composed of ? Cocoa bean and cocoa butter or has the butter been removed? Thanks.

    Dehydrating Liquid Heavy Cream

    Between these 2 powdered heavy creams that are suppose to be more natural than store bought, which do you think is better? They both have added ingredients and I wonder which are not as bad? Will Powder says now says they don't add sugar, yet theirs has more sugar than the other brand for the...

    Bread homemade or store bought?

    Store bought bread is JUNK, full of crap. My dad has perfected his bread. You'd be amazed what 15 or 20 years of perfecting his bread tastes like; without the high sugar, salt, preservatives of store breads. The flavor is AMAZING. People keep telling him he'd make millions selling it.

    Milk Chocolate VS. Dark (& Semi Sweet)

    Hi everyone, Not sure if this is better in the general cooking or diabetic cooking section. But since I am using sugar substitute then I guess I will post here, though part of it is a general question. I had asked someone what is the difference in ingredients between milk and dark chocolate...

    Dehydrating Liquid Heavy Cream

    Thanks Princess. Your earrings signature above is awesome! I can't compare dry with liquid myself because I don't know how much of one makes up an equal amount of the other. So to confirm, you're saying you feel that there is no added sugar to the Willpowder based on it's nutrition info when...

    Thanks Aunt Bea I will check it out. Can you please look at my previous post? I added some info to it :)

    Dehydrating Liquid Heavy Cream

    LOL you're funny. Actually I think I am the one gaining because I just drank a few tablespoons of the creamer! I know, I am nuts, at least I don't use it for my cereal anymore! So their using the term sweet cream for heavy cream. Interesting, I never would have guessed that. I will call again...

    Dehydrating Liquid Heavy Cream

    Hi Aunt Bea, I am not a cook nor baker, and was never good in chemistry, just a disclaimer in case I say something silly now or in the future. They told me theirs has X amount of sugar per ounce, I forget the number, but it seemed high & I thought it was added. So really the issue is that their...

    Dehydrating Liquid Heavy Cream

    Yes Aunt Bea I did :) You think like me. I paid for Amazon prime so I could get it quick, but I never ordered it because apparently it has sugar in it and what I seek to make is low carb and sugar free. It doesn't say that on Amazon nor their own website. I had to call them to find this info...

    Dehydrating Liquid Heavy Cream

    No worries. :smile: It needs to last and look professional when I send off the mix to my family and friends all over the world, like something they bought at the store, but without the junk ingredients.

    Dehydrating Liquid Heavy Cream

    Thank you Got Garlic & OldVine. OldVine, there are no instructions on heavy cream, but it does liquids which many machines don't, I figured they wouldn't list every liquid out there, but the most popular (ie spagetti sauce) and since milk can be dehydrated I figured why not? Got Garlic, thank...

    Dehydrating Liquid Heavy Cream

    Thanks Zereh, too bad they don't sell powdered creamer I could just buy. And it's of course crazy hard to find powdered creamer that is just that. When doing a search online, you got all the coffee mate and other junk products or no results at all, even when you type preservative free heavy...

    Dehydrating Liquid Heavy Cream

    Thanks MrsLMB, Back in the 50's they use to make powdered creamer the way it was suppose to be. Then next thing you know, their adding so much processed crap in it it's no longer really food or anything like actual creamer. So how did they do it then I wonder? Also, powdered whole milk is sold...
