Bread Maker Attempt #1: White Bread

For Christmas I received a Cuisinart Convection Bread Maker and tonight I gave it it's first try.  Nate of course had to help and luckily it's soooo easy.  All you do is put the ingredients in and press some buttons and wait for some bread.  I know I'll need to tweak some things, but first I just want to make a run through the recipes that look the most interesting.  I eventually want to make a good sandwhich bread, but I know that is going to take a lot of trial and error.  This is going to be great for our New Year's detox.  I'm picturing some fresh baked bread and homemade chicken noodle soup in my future.

These are a few of my favorite things

I was truly blessed this Christmas and I'm very thankful for everything I received.  These are a few of my favorite things...

 I always look longing at the Martha Stewart glitter at the craft store.  I think some new years decorations are in the works!

 I heart this Vera Bradley saddle bag.  I like across the body bags, especially with a 3 year old to chase after, and this one is a beautiful print.

This was one gift that I was not expecting, but was pleasantly suprised to get.  I'm moving away from processed food and this will make a huge difference!  Bread is one thing that Nate will eat and I'm already thinking about the things we can make.
