Fig Bars part 1: Experimental phase
My kids love fig bars, especially those Nature’s Bakery fig bars from Costco. When I used to buy them, I wouldn’t even bat an eye at the $11+ price tag, because it worked out to something like 30 cents for 2 bars, and I felt like they were worth it. I actually bought 6 boxes when they were on sale …

Honey Whole Wheat Bread
This is an old recipe, my first bread recipe. I was taught to make bread by a friend when I was 12 years old. It took a lot of mistakes to figure out some of the basics of bread making, but I loved it from day 1. I’m sharing this in the original recipe, so it’s not in the ideal …
