One of my big to-do items got crossed off this week and I'm really, really excited about it:
Yep, I made my own loaf of bread - two, in fact. I've never made sandwich bread from scratch. Sure, I've made plenty of quick-breads - banana bread is practically a food group in our house. We also make our own pizza dough and cinnamon rolls for Christmas. But, I think the universe was giving me a little help with the to-do list when a friend gave me some Amish Friendship Bread starter last week! Have you heard about this stuff? It's like a baking yeast chain letter and really rather fun, and TASTY. I even cheated on our weekly Sunday pancakes and made some phenomenal French toast with it this morning.
So, if I show up to any gatherings with a big Ziploc of gunk, don't be alarmed - I might just pass it along to you...
- Monday - Pizza
- Tuesday - Chili Chicken
- Wednesday - Green Curry Turkey Meatballs
- Thursday - girls night out with some Oiselle ladies!
- Friday - Mac and Cheese (pushed this back from last week, as I was lucky enough to get a last minute mom's night out going with friends)
- Saturday - Beer Braised Beef with Marsala Mushroom Sauce and Mashed Potatoes
- Sunday - Crockpot Enchilada Soup
Awesome! Isn't it so satisfying to make your own?? I have heard of Amish bread, it used to get passed around some circles back in PA, although I haven't seen it here at all. Thanks for linking up!
