Rainy Day
We have had very interesting weather since 7pm last night. Interesting in the fact that we spent time in our downstairs bathroom due to tornado warnings. Of course I ran out of bread. And of course we needed bread for dinner tonight. We had BLTs.
So, I pulled out my bread machine put it on the counter and then stood there looking at it. You see, I have yet to find a white bread recipe for the bread machine that I like. After staring at the machine for a second, I looked outside to see if the weather was really that bad. It was, so I sat down, turned on my laptop and started looking for a recipe. Then I went to my cookbooks and looked in them. I took a little bit from different recipes and made my own recipe.
I put the ingredients in the machine and turned it to the dough cycle. I don't like the square loves that the machine makes so I make the dough in the machine then bake it in the oven. The dough cycle finished and I cut the dough in half and put each half into a bread pan. I let it rise and then popped them into the oven for about a half hour. Between the sound of the rain and the smell of fresh bread baking my home felt very homey and comforting.
By the time the loaves had cooled it was time to make dinner. I sliced the bread and made the BLTs and served my family dinner. They LOVED the bread and so did I. Here is the recipe for the bread

Product Review: Oscar Mayer Carving Board Turkey
I discovered this product a couple months ago. I love it! There are countless ways to use this product. You can make a turkey sandwich. Or you can chop it up and make turkey salad. You can put it in casseroles. I like to heat it up and pair it with stuffing and corn and make a hot lunch for my kids.

Homemade Pizza
I have gotten so tired of ordering pizza or buying the frozen pizza so I tried my hand at making homemade pizza tonight. I used this recipe. I did change one thing. Instead of using sugar, I used honey. The pizza came out great!

Why I Started This Blog
When I was first married I felt the need to make very fancy meals. I would watch cooking shows and then try and make the meals. You know the kind of meals that require you to go to several stores just to hunt down one ingredient that you will only use for the one dish. The kind of meals that take three days to make. Yes, I exagerate a bit but some of those meals feel like they take three days to make.
After I had my children I did not have the time or energy to go "hunting" anymore. I also did not have time to spend hours on end in the kitchen to make one meal. I knew there had to be other moms out there that felt the same way. So here ya go. Meals that don't take three days to make and you don't have to go "hunting" to find the ingredients.
