\"9-grain<\/a>In our church<\/a>, we are encouraged to have a supply of extra food and water in case of hardship. This could be as drastic as a natural disaster, or simply as a reserve to get us by in case of job loss or other unforseen economic struggle.<\/p>\n

When I was single, and had a wee bit of money to spare (I was a teacher, and teachers always just have a wee bit of money to spare) I bought a whole year’s supply of food for myself. All of this food was in large cans. The problem is, some of this food doesn’t last forever, so now I find myself trying to use up a few of the items.<\/p>\n

While searching through my stash one day, I came upon some nine-grain cereal. I wondered what the heck I was going to do with that. Then it hit me. I should make some of that fancy bread with all the grains that costs so much at the store.<\/p>\n

I didn’t use to like fancy bread. When I was a kid, my mom made wheat bread, every week. I honestly don’t remember us ever buying bread from the store. People would come over and say, “You’re so lucky that your mom makes this delicious home made bread.” I did not feel lucky. I wanted Wonder Bread. The white, fluffy, decidedly unhealthy bread that was like eating a cloud.<\/p>\n

My best friend across the street had a mom who did not make bread. She bought Wonder Bread. Every time I went over to her house, I asked for a slice of Wonder Bread. I was like Oliver, the famed British street urchin who just wanted a piece of bread. I’m sure he wanted Wonder Bread, too.<\/p>\n

But now that I am older, my tastes have matured, and I realize that I really was lucky that my mom made bread for us every week. And now I wouldn’t think<\/em> of buying Wonder Bread.<\/p>\n

\"9-grain<\/a><\/p>\n

For this recipe, I used half white and half whole what flour. Then I added the nine-grain cereal. Then I added other things like ground flax and chia seeds. Because I would also like the birds to be able to eat this bread. Just kidding. Flax and chia are super healthy for you. So, you know, let’s be super healthy.<\/p>\n

Speaking of being super healthy, I also have a low-sugar option for you. I have mentioned the alteration in the recipe below. Just ignore the picture of copious amounts of honey being poured on this bread. That is not a low-sugar option.<\/p>\n

My husband loves this bread. My kids won’t touch it. That’s how you know it’s really good \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
