Day 4, Week 1: make bread dough; enjoy a dinner you made on Day 2

Today, make Good Whisk Bread dough, let it rise, and then refrigerate it overnight.

Bag up three days of walnuts and raisins and one day of bell pepper sticks. Notice that if you were just continuing on the 20-minute a day plan, you'd bag up more snacks. But with the Challenge, we're going to cook everything from scratch next week, including preparing less expensive seasonal snacks.

For dinner, enjoy the second servings of the meal you made on Day 2:  high-protein pasta with Tomato Sauce with Bell Peppers and chilled Marinated Green Beans.

I haven't made the bread yet - way too hot! Maybe on the weekend...

Woohoo! Today was much closer to 20 minutes than the last couple of days. Not sure where in the fridge I'm going to fit the dough, but that's a problem for 4 hours from now. :)

I'm curious what you consider a day's worth of the various things we're bagging. I ended up going with the serving size listed on the packages of walnuts and raisins (they each said 1/4 cup), and for the bell pepper strips I went with half a bell pepper for a serving (although part of the half had bad spots that I got rid of).
