Bread Machine 101
I am in love with my bread machine. If you have one but don’t use it, I hope I can inspire you to dust it off and give it another try. Before we go any farther, let me explain that I almost NEVER bake in my bread machine. I use it as a mixer and kneader because that’s what it does best. After dough has risen once in my machine, I take it out and make whatever shape I want, let it rise a second time in a warm place and bake it in my conventional oven.

Happy New Year, Paula!
I just got my new bread machine for Christmas per your recommendations and can’t wait to make pizza later this weekend. We have begun the new year with salad in a jar lunches for all three ladies living in the house and yogurt is next on the list to begin…later in the month. I still don’t have my strainer yet! Anyway, just wanted you to know what an inspiration you have been to our family and health. I’ll let you know how things go! Blessings, Lynne
How exciting! Nice to have friends who do it with you. Can’t wait to hear how the yogurt turns out for you. Thanks for writing.
I found you when I was searching for trouble-shooting homemade yogurt and I’m glad I did! Dh and I are trying to eat more salads but we shop once a week and it’s “feast or famine” when it comes to lettuces. While looking around I am finding more and more wonderful ideas to use to improve our daily eating. Our schedule is strange and our eating habits vary. These ideas will help both of us eat healthier any time of day (or night!). I’m looking forward to looking learning more.
I know you mentioned the brand of vacuum-sealer you use but now I can’t find it. Which ones do you recommend staying AWAY from? They’re rather spendy and I’d like to learn from *others* mistakes.
Hi Sis,
I started out with a full-size FoodSaver. Works great but it’s an investment. You can also use the handheld FoodSaver that costs only about 20$ but you still must purchase the large mouth adapter (available on-line). Recently, I ran across the Reynolds hand-held vacuum sealer. It costs 3$ and runs on batteries. It’s small so I can easily stick it in a drawer. I think they may be out of production but there are plenty of them at most Big Lots. You will need the large mouth adapter for this one too. I plan to do a post soon about these options. pr
Thanks. I’ll start looking. I’ve never been interested in them until I saw how you used it.
I wonder if there might be a way to add a search box on your website? I’d love to be able to search just within your website for things I “know I saw” but can’t find. I think I saw something about vacuum packing meat in jars to freeze?
Ah, there it is. Thank you.
