Bread Advice?

I am finding that using coconut flour tends to make baked goods way too dense. Is there an alternate, Primal-approved, flour that can be used?  Please keep in mind that almond flour is not an option since Veronica is allergic to it. 

Or... tips on how to make the coconut flour product lighter?

Coconut Bread Recipe

Thanks to Lakegirl72 for giving us a recipe that helps to make my kids feel normal!


COCONUT BREAD

Ingredients


6 eggs
1/2 c. Virgin Coconut Oil
2 tablespoons honey (optional)
½ teaspoon salt (optional)
3/4 c. sifted Coconut Flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions
Blend together eggs, oil, honey and salt.
Combine coconut flour with baking powder and whisk thoroughly into batter until there are no lumps.
Pour into greased 9x5x3 inch or smaller loaf pan and bake at 175C (350F) for 40 minutes.
Remove from pan and cool on rack.



We baked this, and ate the whole thing not two hours later. So.. uh... make extra!  I used a bread knife and sliced it fairly thin, spread it with grassfed butter, and added shaved ham. SO. GOOD.

Bread!

Thanks to a very nice reader who sent me a quick and easy recipe for coconut bread, we made sandwiches today! I was nearly out of sliced meat, so we made mini-sandwiches, but hey! it was a sandwich. The kids were thrilled! So thank you for the recipe, reader!

Ham and grassfed butter on coconut bread!

I wanted to also make cookies that have bananas and avocado mixed in to the batter, but 4 out of 5 of my avocados were black inside. BOOO!


The kids forgot to pack their lunches last night, so it was a mad rush this morning, and I couldn't even begin to guess at what they packed. Although, I know Amy took nothing, because I saw her lunch box at home, so I had to call the school and ask them to give her the beans and corn they were serving at lunch. Eh, she'll survive.


I skipped breakfast--did a lot of purging of the house--and had salad with turkey around 12:30.  Then I had a two of the mini-sandwiches in late afternoon. And I've yet to eat dinner. Not sure why I'm not all that hungry lately, but I'm guessing I should eat more than a salad and two small sandwiches. Or not. I don't know. 


Tom had quiet a few bowls of chicken soup, and a salad with pork for dinner. 


The kids had big bowls of salad and topped it with leftover pork loin. They seemed to like it well enough. 


I am not dehydrating beef jerky... I really hope it turns out well. I haven't a clue as to when to take it out of the dehydrator. 


So that's how I spent my day. Tom spent his cleaning the kitchen (cause he's nice like that). And the kids spent the day at school and then taking baths. 


Exciting, aren't we?
