t h e m a y f i l e s is foremost a family blog, chronicling everyday life. Life including natural, healthy eating (with recipes thrown in at random), home educating (with ideas popping up sporadically), an attempt to homestead on .2 acres (with very meager yields), raising 3 of 4 children with a rare genetic disorder, and lots of highly personal family triumphs and failures. You may also find an eclectic array of musings on politics, exercise, sewing, emergency preparedness, backyard chickens, and religion. This blog isn't a campaign to glorify anyone or anything. Just simply a record.

Holiday Candy Cane Bread with Agave Frosting


A scrumptious holiday tradition. Candy Cane bread. This is made using my Basic Whole Grain Bread Recipe.
Roll out dough into a long rectangle. Lather with butter, and sweeten with a dab of barley malt syrup and a sprinkling of sucanat and cinnamon. Use a pizza cutter or kitchen scissors to make 2-3 inch slits on each side. Braid.
Make the night before and refrigerate. Take out a couple hours before you want to eat to let rise. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes. Frost with Creamy White Whipped Frosting.

Creamy White Whipped Frosting

1/3 c cream cheese
1/3 c whipping cream
1/2 t vanilla
2-4 T agave nectar

Combine all ingredients in a metal bowl and mix well with a hand mixer.
Keep refrigerated and frost when ready to serve.
