Bread Baking Adventure

Lets talk about bread......

I have a love/hate relationship with the stuff.

I LOVE the taste of it, but I HATE what it does to me.

Lately I have been on a search for healthier foods for me and my family, and since my daughter has a milk allergy, I have focusing most of my searches around what she needs the most ( or in this case what she cant have- milk based products)

I have come up with a few great milk-less recipes that we love, like this Milk-less Pancake Recipe 
and this awesome milk-less Muffin base that we use all the time. I love mixing up the add-in ingredients to make different muffins that my daughter can enjoy.

In an attempt to know what we are putting in to our bodies, I have started making most of our snacks/meals from scratch...and while it takes a little more time and effort, I think it is worth it in the long run.

I LOVE to bake, but I am not that great of a bread maker...I don't even own a bread machine!

I can make pumpkin bread and sweet breads....but baking bread for me and my family has never been high on my list...its so much easier to run to the store and grab a loaf, then it is to make it.

I decided a few weeks ago,(yes it has taken me that long to actually go from finding a recipe to actually making the bread), to try my hand at baking bread from scratch. I searched and searched and finally found a recipe that I "thought" I could do with out messing it up to much :)

This is the Basic Homemade Bread Recipe that I used. It is very easy to follow and doesn't take much time to whip up 2 loaves of bread.....and my family LOVED it....Enough so, that I have dough rising for more bread as I write this :)

Below are pictures of my bread baking adventure:)

Having to say Goodbye

Saying good bye to someone is never easy, especially if you know that it may be the Last time you may ever see them, hug them, whisper that you Love them. You want to hold on to them forever and never let go......and then you have to leave...with that doubt in your mind, the whispered lies floating through your mind, taking root, that you were not there enough, that you didn't hug, kiss, or say you loved them enough. It's enough to crush you...enough to make you want to hide away from everyone.....even yourself. This is where we are...my Beautiful Mom is on hospice..and I am trying to wrap my head around that word.. Hospice......such a scary word....its  the knowledge that the end is near, but never knowing when that final day will come.  The past few months we have been making every opportunity to be with her, we knew this was coming, and we were going to make as many memories with her as we could, but there will always be more memories we want to share with her. ...

Learning to listen to God....and my Husband

This week has been very hectic....between my daughter being sick, my Oil Business ,and trying to spring clean, I feel like I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off. This week probably wasn't the best week for me to start spring cleaning, but....since I was off work (daycare) due to my daughter being sick, I thought"why not" get started! So early tuesday morning as my hubby was leaving for work, I decided to "change" our bedroom. Please tell me that I am not the only one that has these hair brained ideas...you know the ones that sound so great until you actually get into the middle of it, but then it is too late to turn around! Yeah, I had one of THOSE ideas!!! Halfway into rearranging my room, I realized that I didn't feel that great and I wanted to stop, unfortunately the mess I had created "cleaning and reorganizing", now had spread from the bedroom to the hallway, kitchen, and the living room.......It was not pret...
