..And a hug around the neck

I've started a movement in my house to step away from convenience food, fast food, processed food and bring the food that goes into my family back to the beginning of where it should be prepared: in my kitchen. It isn't always easy- especially in this rush rush world- but I can control what goes into the food, which keeps my family healthier. I share my recipes with you, so that you, too, can benefit from what I've learned.

Black Boot Snack Bread

An extra spiced, dense gingerbread loaf that's absolutely to die for.

Ingredients:
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground mace
2 eggs
1/3 cup canola oil
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup brewed coffee, at room temperature
1 cup molasses

Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter or oil a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.

In a large bowl, whisk together baking powder, baking soda, flours, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, allspice and mace. In a second large bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, applesauce, coffee and molasses. Pour egg mixture into flour mixture and stir just until combined. Transfer batter to prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool on a rack for 30 minutes before removing from the pan and serving.
