Back to Basics

I have decided something...I want to start making my own bread.

That's right...I said MAKE MY OWN BREAD.


Just looking at this picture makes me want to go grab a slice of the crap I just bought at the store sitting on top of my refrigerator, slather it with some delicious (homemade!) butter and chow down.

But I can't do that. I made the choice to consume a concrete from Freddy's Frozen Custard...I've pretty much ruined my day. As in: I-really-shouldn't-eat-anything-else-the-rest-of-the-day-because-one-food-item-took-up-my-entire-calorie-content kind of ruined day....but we all know I'm really going to eat......back to the buttered bread again. *mmmmm*



Why would I want to make my own bread?

Well, first of all it smells HEAVENLY when it's (almost done) baking.
Second, I know all the ingredients that go into the bread...
Third, it is actually a lot more cost efficient.

Look, I have the time. I'm at home. I love that little fact of life; I'm a stay-at-home mom. I totally fail at my daily responsibilities, but, hey, I have goals (thank you Mrs. Dorrell for your TOTS talk Thursday) and I plan on accomplishing them. Just because I have like three four days of laundry piling up that needs to be folded and put away doesn't mean that I won't have time for bread-making next week!

So I made my own butter (super easy and super fun) and now I need some homemade bread to go with it...I have an entire board devoted to Bread on PINTEREST!

But for now I'll finish the rest of the store bought loaf resting atop my fridge...perhaps this will be my last store-bought loaf ever.........

but somehow I HIGHLY doubt that

<I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. John 6:51>
