Warm soup and homemade bread are a great meal option for your family as the days get colder:

Quick Wheat Bread
Mix together:
4 cups wheat flour
2 cups white flour
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
Whisk together:
3 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup white vinegar
2 teaspoons baking soda
Add dry ingredients to wet. Mix well. Pour into 2 greased bread pans and bake at 350 degrees for 60 minutes. Slice and serve warm with jam and butter
* I made this and it seriously took 10 minutes to put together, and that includes the amount of time I spent digging my vinegar out of the laundry room and hunting down the baking soda that was in my upstairs bathroom (I don't usually keep them in either of those places - it was an oddly "home remedy" oriented week) Anyway, the bread was yummy and super easy so I highly recommend it to go along side a meal. I tried to find a dairy free option by using soy milk, almond milk, and water but none of them worked. Oh well. It's still a great recipe.
Enjoy!!
