Today is Applesauce Bread! Looking forward to it. Did not add walnuts as it asked for because half of us are allergic. However, I think it will turn out just fine!
I was talking to a friend earlier today. She wanted to know if it is cheaper to make my own bread. Here is what I came up with: Our family normally goes through a store bought loaf of bread in a meal, with a couple pieces left over. For the cost of a 25 pound bag of flour, I can get any where from 12 -15 loaves of bread. For that same amount of money, I can only get 4-8 loaves of store-bought bread. The other benefit is that I know exactly what is going into my family's bread. There are no additives or preservatives or fancy words that I can't pronounce. Also, these loaves of bread are bigger loaves, so they go further. I have noticed that one home-made loaf goes two or three meals. I used to spend $32-40 of my family's grocery budget on bread every month. Now I spend about $8, once a month, to buy a bag of flour. A win-win situation! Healthy and inexpensive!
On other news, I have one child who is not feeling well for some reason. So we cancelled other things that were supposed to happen today and just hanging out. I am planning on getting some little projects done that have been sitting around waiting for me to finish them! They are just little projects, none of them taking more than a few minutes, so hoping to get a bunch done.
