Brown Bread Recipe | Oatmeal Molasses | Heavy Dense Bread

This recipe was given to me by my mother, who got it from her mother, who got it from an elderly lady who was in her 70`s, so this recipe is over  100 years old. This recipe is actually a very good recipe if you like dense moist brown bread. Some people refer to it as oatmeal molasses bread which is what it is made out of however; I’ve always just refer to it as brown bread. This is my favorite brown bread recipe. The pictures show how it turns out, it was awesome.

Hidden Treasures Family Restaurant and Farmers Market Scones

Every Saturday, no matter how hard I try I find it impossible to sleep in! Today I got up extra early today, even before my morning glories to go to the market and check on jewelry orders.

My first stop at the market is still usually the chocolate section, then to scones, then maybe veggies and crafts!

I seriously think these scones could go mainstream, they are just awesome, I have tired making my own a few times, they are NEVER the same. I have had people say they look dry, and hard… NOOOOOO far far from it, they have a crust, but the inside is awesome, moist and like a flaky pastry… I wish they had a delivery service because I would order one right now. My favorite by far now is the carrot cake scone, pizza scone, onion/bacon  and pineapple coconut! If you live in Yarmouth, and you have never tried a scone from the market (or Hilltop Cottage Farms), TRY ONE.  Actually I think you should travel here just to try scones! They are awesome!

Speaking of good food in Yarmouth, NS, take the 10 minute drive out to Port Maitland and try the new Restaurant there Hidden Treasures Family Restaurant, the building used to be the old Yarmouth candy factory I am told. Inside is very neat and clean, the service is FAST, the menu prices INCLUDE TAX, the portions are large, the food is awesome!!! I am not one to go out to eat a lot, one because of the price, two I am not a fan of deep fried things. I heard people raving about how good the prices were and food and I had to go see for myself!

I had the stir-fry on rice, and a can of Diet Pepsi, wow. It came with garlic bread and everything was cooked to perfection! My total bill was $ 11.45 🙂 For how full I was and how good the food was, it was a great deal!

There are knitted goods, wood work, wine, and much more!

PS TRY THE SCONES. They are worth every penny!

Here are some pictures I took the last weekend I was there:

I love the look of this booth, fresh veggies and wood, Bully Goth Farm is one of the many veggie stands at the market!

Is this a boot, made into a bird house you ask? YEP! I thought this was such a cool idea. I love anything that is reusing items or turning what some would call garbage into THIS. Awesome! A boot birdhouse. Love it!

Overall I love the market, to any vendor I didn’t get images of, don’t feel left out, I took a lot of pictures that didn’t come out! The market is again this Saturday right beside the Rodd Colony Hotel. It does not cost to get into the market!

PS: if anyone has the contact info for any of the vendor mentioned, please let me know and I will update it!
