Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 1 tablespoon yeast
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons butter

Directions:

1. Combine 3/4 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl.
2. In a saucepan heat milk, water and butter until very warm, about 130 F.
3. Add milk mixture to flour mixture and beat for 2 minutes at medium speed with an electric mixer. Scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure mixture is evenly mixed.
4. Stir in the remaining flour until a soft ball of dough is formed.
5. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
6. Cover the dough and let rest for 10 minutes.
7. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces and form into balls.
8. Place on a greased pan. Cover and let rise in a warm draft free place until dough is doubled in size. About 30 minutes. (A good place to allow dough to rise in a drafty home is in the oven with temperature preheated to ‘warm’ then turned off before you place the dough inside)
9. Bake in 375 degree F oven for 20 minutes or until bread is golden brown.

Omega 3 is important for children because it promotes healthy brain development and may also be beneficial for children with ADD.

I made a fun snack for my kids with the Jif Omega 3 Peanut Butter that many people know as Ant’s On A Log. You just spread peanut butter on celery then add raisins on top – also a great way to get children to eat celery!

Jif Omega-3 peanut butter also contains DHA and EPA which are also great supplements for visual and neurological development. Especially important for children as well as pregnant and nursing moms so they can pass on those important nutrients to their babies.

It will be on display at your grocery store until September 8th. They have recipes you make with Betty Crocker’s brownie and cookie mixes as well cookies and bars made from scratch. Their are recipes especially for kids and cookie of the month section. November is Turkey cookies – they are so cute – I want to make them for Thanksgiving.

One of the “bake from scratch” recipes is the Jam Easy Fruit bars. I made them and they sure are yummy and easy to make – although I did not cut my bars as neatly as they are shown in the magazine!

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup butter or margerine, softened
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 egg
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup any flavor jam or preserves.
• May sprinkle powdered sugar on bars if desired

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350° F. Grease bottom and sides or 13X9 inch pan with shortening.
2. In medium bowl, mix butter granulated sugar, vanilla and egg with a spoon.
3. Stir in flour and baking powder until dough forms.
4. Pat dough evenly in pan.
5. Beginning 3/4 inch from short side of pan, press 1/2 an inch wide and 1/4 inch deep groove (I used my finger). Fill each groove with a tablespoon of jam.
6. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes or until a light golden brown. Cool completely, about 1 hour (these are really hot after they come out the oven!).
7. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if you want.
8. Cut into 8 rows by 4 rows.
