Since we were all "trapped" inside today, I decided to bake bread. I've never successfully made bread from scratch today and I'm so proud to say that I DID IT!! I am so dang proud of myself :) I used Maxine's recipe from my "ross family cookbook". It's a recipe my mom recommends as one that isn't hard and sure enough I was actually able to pull it off.

The kids even love it. We've almost finished the first loaf. Part of the reason that I wanted to make bread is that we're running tight on funds and I wanted to see if I could be a frugal wife and come up with a way to stretch our money a bit further. It worked. Honestly, I've tried to make bread, rolls, etc, many times and they are always horrid. I did it!!

Sure! I'll put it in a post.

Oooh thanks, I prefer homemade bread to anything out there. I guess I need a loaf pan. Do you suggest a specific size?

Not really, just an average size would be fine.
