Not so "Wordless" Wednesday

Sometimes my little boy isn't tired at bedtime
and causes problems with his brothers...

So he gets to stand in the corner till he is tired!!!!
It doesn't take long and all the sudden
he's sooo tired, and goes to bed so nice!

I thought he looked so adorable with
his jammies and book in the corner!

I know I get the "mean mom" award!

Then he realized I took a picture!
and I got a very happy smile!

Homemade Bread

Even if you've never made homemade bread before
YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!
No special equipment required...

This is the first bread I've ever made
without a bread machine! (besides zucchini)
(I used to own one about 8 years ago!)
I've made 2 batches now and I'm pretty sure
I'll not be buying bread at the store anymore!!!

Anyway... 5 ingredients! That's it!

Thanks to Sarah at 8 Muddy Boots for passing it along
and Chickens in the Road for the recipe.

Homemade Grandmother Bread
((for 2 loaves))
3 cups warm water
1 T. yeast (1 pkt)
1 tsp. salt
1/4 cup Sugar
7-8 cups flour

In large bowl combine water, yeast, sugar, and salt.
Stir and let sit 5 min.

Stir in 3 cups flour, then stir in 2 more. Stir in 1 more and you'll
probably have to start kneading it in. Add 1-2 more.
I only added a little over 7 cups. Don't add too much.
Mine is still the slightest bit sticky in some areas when I'm done.

Spray another bowl with cooking spray and put the dough in it.
Cover with a towel or I like to use saran wrap sprayed w/ spray.

Place in a warm spot and let rise for about an hour. (until doubled)

Take out and punch down on a floured surface,
adding a little more flour (I only added around 1/4 cup)
Knead for a minute or so and divide in half.

Put in 2 sprayed loaf pans and cover again.
Let rise again for about an hour. (until doubled) or
about an inch above the pans.

Bake in oven at 350 degrees for around 25 minutes
I only baked it for 20 minutes. My oven is hot and we
like it the slightest bit doughy!

Now it sounds like a lot of steps, but seriously
it is only about 15-20 minutes of work and the rest
is waiting for it to raise and bake!

You should see the kids flock over for a warm piece
when I pull them out of the oven.

And the cost!!! WAHOO!!
I figured it up and I'm only paying about
.25-.35 cents per loaf.
It's better ingredients, better tasting,
more filling, and no preservatives!

Anyone else have a super easy bread recipe??

Next week
CINNAMON ROLLS!!!
If I can do it, you can too!

Fresh Deals -- A new way to shop!

Fresh Deals is a new site that allows you to compare
prices and products from many different stores
from the comfort of your own home! What makes
this site even more unique than others is that you can
leave comments and view comments from others about
each and every product! I love to be able to hear what others
are saying about a product I'm interested in. Also in return
leave my comments so others can read my thoughts.

Okay so for example say I'm looking for a laptop. (I'm always
looking for a good deal since mine is going on 4 years old).
I simply go to freshdeals.com and type "laptop" into the search.
This is what came up. Near the top I can change the way they sort
the products. I usually choose price -low to high (I know, I'm cheap ((or poor!!))
Anyway, so I see that I can get a Toshiba Laptop for around $330. If I click "go"
It will take me to Best Buy's actual website. From there I can proceed
or return and look at another product.

They also have a tab near the top called "Deals" (of course
it peeked my attention!) If you click on it, it will take you to
what they call their "Freshest Deal" When I checked it was a
Hoover Elite Upright Vacuum for only $114. (regular price was $349.)
I can see how you could get hooked and check this often!

They have categories from clothing and shoes to
electronics and Computers.
They even have a huge category filled with kids stuff!
I think my daughter would love this sewing machine...
maybe next year for Christmas!

So if you're searching for, well just about anything be
sure to save yourself some time and check it out on
freshdeals before you waste your precious time
shopping around!

Just so you know, I was compensated by this company for doing a review
of their site. I can assure you that everything I
say here was by my own will and I believe everything I said!
Go try them out!
