Thankful For The Little Things

There is a new appliance in my kitchen. It is drifting such wonderful smells of fresh baked goods through my house. We even woke up to fresh baked bread this morning because of it. This new appliance is a bread maker. We have one thanks to my sister who found one 50% off at Wal-mart. 

I love fresh baked bread but have never been good at baking. The whole yeast in warm water, first rise, second rise, it never seems to turn out right. With the bread maker I have enjoyed making bread, rolls, pizza dough, and cinnabun coffee cake. I never realized all that you could make with one machine, and it does all the work for you. I am looking forward to trying new recipes and, in the weeks to come, sharing some of our favorite bread machine recipes. I think I might just start with the cinnabun coffee cake recipe!

If any of you have ever thought of getting a bread machine, I have heard that thrift stores are a wonderful place to find them, as many people purchase them and never use them. Or if any of you have one sitting in your closet, take it out, dust if off, and get baking. There are whole cookbooks just for bread machines. It is so easy and I'm sure you and your family will enjoy the end result!
