hey good lookin whatcha got cookin?!?


One of my BIG loves is cooking/baking!! I grew up helping, or what I like to call helping my grandmothers and my mom in the kitchen. So when I see a recipe that looks yummy I’ll give it a shot.

One thing I am still mastering is making bread, for a wedding present Justin and I got a bread maker. Which I am in LOVE with!  At first I was nervous to make my OWN bread but once I got over that fear and made my first loaf I was feeling more confident with it. I know that using my bread maker is kinda cheating but with a little guy in the house I can’t actually make the bread myself, and a goal of mine is to try (key word TRY) to make things from scratch. I believe this is a dying art, actual HOMEMADE goodies! I absolutely loved making goodies with my grandparents and still do when I get the chance. And I can’t wait to teach Clayton to cook, because I believe if you include the littles in the kitchen they’re more likely to try new things (my mom did this!)

I’ll share some of my fav recipes, even though with a lot of things I don’t have an ACTUAL recipe written down. I do lots of cooking by making it up as I go, or add a little this and little that! Like my mamma J With baking I follow the directions because if you don’t follow those you never know what you’ll get! Haha!!

This recipe I found on allrecipes.com and I thought I’d give it a shot, I have been in search of different bread recipes to put in my recipe book (well 3 ringed binder). This one is super easy, only a few ingredients and makes a really yummy bread!
