I'm going to tell you what happened to the other half, but first I have a confession. For the second time in as many summers, I've embarked on quite the little health kick. I'm not sure if it has more to do with the champagne and cake fatigue I'm experiencing as a result of the waning wedding season, or with the bounty of produce available at the farmer's market, but come August, I'm always more interested in crudites and core fusion than I am in creme brulee and cupcakes.
So when it came time to make this Oatmeal Breakfast Bread, this week's Tuesdays With Dorie recipe, I decided to make a few tweaks to ensure that I could enjoy this tasty treat while still getting my day off to a healthy start. I replaced all of the white flour with whole wheat flour, used soy milk instead of buttermilk, and reduced the sugar (I used brown) to 2/3 cup. As for mix-ins, I went with dried apricots and cherries. The verdict? It may be healthy, but it still tastes like eating dessert for breakfast.
Thanks to Natalie of Oven Love for this week's choice. You can find the recipe for the Oatmeal Breakfast Bread on her blog or on page 44 of Dorie's book. And be sure to check out what TWD is baking next week when it's (finally) my turn to pick the weekly recipe!

Yummy! Dessert for breakfast without guilt sounds like a great way to start the day!
Like the cleaning lady story. I had a book taken that way one time--but got it back eventually.
