One of my college roommates made a tasty bread that didn’t contain yeast. I decided to try and replicate her recipe, using a combination of baking soda and baking powder in place of the yeast in one of my favorite white bread recipes. We proclaimed it a success — especially if you need bread fast. From mixing bowl to table, this recipe takes less than an hour! –Mellyn

Chocolate Monkey Bread
Monkey Bread! There are so many varieties. This chocolate version is made from simple ingredients and ends up full of wow! The dough itself outdoes any freezer dough or refrigerator biscuit and bakes up light and fluffy. It’s a great example of why we all need some white flour in our storage. |

With a creamy center and a chocolaty outside, who wouldn’t love these?! Beans replace the butter, so they’re even a tad healthier than the traditional variety! –Mellyn
Whole Wheat Baking Mix
I am not usually a “mix” kind of girl, but I have some tried and true “Bisquick” recipes that I reach for in a time pinch.

Just use white flour in place of the wheat and you have a cost saving alternative to high priced brand names.

Thank goodness it’s more portable now, with the invention of disposable insulated cups with lids! The lids help my kids drink it without so many spills right in my home, too!
And my version of cocoa has a smooth mint that literally melts right in your cup — with or without a lid! Continue reading
