The CookingBites recipe challenge: nuts and seeds

[Morning Glory]

You know, forgetting a garnish, even after the trouble of preparing it, is really my signature move.

Trouble is there is no prep involved. Comes in a packet ready to go! No cooking.

That can’t be your signature move - it’s already my signature move!

The whole plate of food needs rearranging were it to have the topping. Even photoshop wouldn't be able to do that.

Might! I've done some very convoluted edit jobs!

Is coconut included? Its not technically a nut, hence my question.

There is nut in a coconut but that isn't the edible part. I can't imagine using the nut itself as a food.

Here’s my first one:

Recipe - Mixed Seed Soda Bread

At first, I wasn’t sure about this one. I’m not much taken with soda bread, and considering this one added whole wheat flour and seeds, two other things I’m not agog over (well, I don’t mind seeds, I just don’t like seeded breads. I like my breads smooooov!), so I was prepared to make this, drop it here, and move on.

After two slices, though, I must say…it’s not as bad as I’d expected. Still doesn’t make me say, “Yum! Give me more dry bread with hard little bits in them! Yes, please!” - but I might say, “While this wouldn’t be my first choice, I wouldn’t say no to a little more.” That’s where the second slice came in.

I think if you like soda bread, if you like seeded loaves, you’d probably like this quite a bit.

Easy enough to throw together, so give it a go!

They're not that difficult to make, just a little bit of time, that's all.
I make these every year for the Holidays and they disappear FAST!!

I could eat all of those.
