It has been a little while (too long) since I have made bread, and it was so good to take one afternoon this past week to make up another batch of bread with my Bosch machine. It only takes about 2 1/2 hours from start to finish, including grinding up the grain in my Whisper Mill. With our 20 year-old son coming home for the week, I knew that I needed to take time for bread-making ... he loves this homemade bread!
I've also been taking some time these weeks to learn a little more about using coupons and anything else that I can start implementing to keep the grocery budget down. Prices are going up ... not a fun thing. One of the foodie bloggers that I have come to appreciate is hosting a focus at the beginning of each week, along with eight other bloggers, called "Eat Well / Spend Less". You might want to check out their blogs for helpful ideas ... click here for the posts from last week, and here for the one this week.
