Here's my breakfast for today:
Guess you didn't bother clicking on the recipe Addie? 2 1/4 tsp per packet - yup, that's exactly what the linked recipe had. Guess they already had that base covered...I buy yeast in bulk and needed to find out the measurement for one packet of yeast. 1 Packet = 2 1/4 tsp of yeast. So two packets would be 41/2 tsp.
.Just thought you would like to know.

I've been doing two Carl's Jr. Double Jalapeño cheeseburgers every morning lately. Yummy.
However, I am going back to a wheat free diet in the next few days, so will need to find something else to have.
You'd think my whimoy stomach would do flips eating those, but I have had absolutely no stomach issues since I've been eating them. Maybe it's the jalapeños.
The conversion measurements are printed on the jar. It even has the weight, in case the baker is measuring that way.That information is what a lot of folks are unaware of. It never hurts to educate.
I see them now,although the second one is sideways.Is everyone else having problems seeing my pictures today also?
I buy mine in 1# bags from the Amish bulk store. They don't have conversion charts. However, if someone is going to bake that bread, they'll see the measurement right as soon as they look at the ingredients list. I suppose most recipes are that way.The conversion measurements are printed on the jar. It even has the weight, in case the baker is measuring that way.
I see them now Cindi.
I'm making savory steel cut oats, cooked with chicken stock, onions, garlic, chopped chipotle and smoked sausage with a basted egg on top.
Not my mama's oatmeal.

That sounds interesting. I've been wanting to try steel-cut oatmeal, heard it's easier on the blood sugar than regular oatmeal. Any opinion one way or another for that?
Don't claim to fully understand all that but I can testify that they taste a lot better and have a tooth to them. I'd not made them savory before but will on a regular basis from now on. Having acquired a taste for my own cooking, I don't claim to be a reliable critic on the subject, but damn! those were good.Glycemic Index
Steel-cut oats are made by cutting whole oat groats two or three times. The cut pieces of groats are neither steamed nor rolled. Since they do not go through this process, they are more intact than thick-rolled or instant oats. This causes steel-cut oats to have more surface area, which slows digestion. A larger surface area causes the stomach to work longer to break down steel-cut oats. The glycemic index, a measurement of the rise in blood sugar, is only 42 for steel-cut oats compared with 66 for instant oatmeal.

And better clean-out of the colon! [emoji38]It means there is more insoluble (it doesn't dissolve) fiber in the steel cut oats. More fiber means less effect on your blood sugar.
