I love homemade bread


I love making bread. Okay, I love eating homemade bread but have not mastered the science of it yet and all the different types of flour so I get super excited when a loaf comes out and is edible. I tried a recipe online, and it came out wonderful. I suggest visiting her website and not only trying this recipe but browsing all her other ones and her blog. Its great. This bread is perfect for sandwiches. Great option instead of buying store bought. I used a bread machine on dough setting and baked in oven 30 minutes. The recipe can be found here. http://www.tammysrecipes.com/homemade_wheat_bread

Garden!



Just a little garden update. Its been in the ground just about two months now, need to start a second box for all the leafy veggies I started. I didn't think the cucumbers were going to make it, but with my watering and love they have sprung to action and currently trying to take over one side of the garden. We have got to eat a handful of cherry tomatoes, two bell peppers, and a couple jalepenos (wow they were hot!) so far. Very excited for all the melons.

First job.


Had my first paying cake job! Granted I only made $12 after supplies were taken out, but hey its a start! It was for an old friend, so I can't complain too much. I had a lot of fun making it, and of course eating it. Chocolate cake with chocolate butter cream icing. Three layers. Not too shabby considering I had no decorating supplies, a ziplock bag and a spatula.
