Easiest Homemade Bread Ever!

So, I bake bread sometimes, now. 

It is SUPER easy if you follow this recipe, and it makes you look like one of those amazing people who totally has it all together so much so that they have time to bake their own bread. 

I am not really one of those people but it is fun to occasionally appear that way (this recipe requires 5 minutes of hands on time). 

And nothing smells quite as homey and cozy as having bread baking in your house. 

I like to add a some fresh rosemary to my dough before baking and I give the bread a nice shellacking of olive oil for the last 20 minutes of baking.

It comes out crusty and golden on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside every time!

Happy 8th Birthday to my very best buddy, Goalie!

I am so lucky to have this a sweet little guy in my life. He sticks with me through thick and thin with his happy personality, cute little face, and wagging tail, and all he ever ask for in return is a tummy rub and a little bit of the crispy skin when I roast chicken.

I love you, G!

Roaring

Enjoy this terrific, boozy recommendation from my wonderful hubby:

Before

To prepare your palate for a night of drier liquids, such as wine, say Farewell to the 20's to wet your whistle and whet your appetite.  This frothy beverage, which I enjoyed at Mintwood Place while welcoming home a friend, was picked off of the menu because I wanted to roar.  Cocktails reached their heyday in the 20's and I reached mine just before dinner.

Farewell to the 20's Recipe

Atlantico Platino Rum, Aperol, Lime, House-made Fall Spice Bitters, and Organe Syrup.

On my first post on March 9, 2012 I had just finished the nursery and Lucy had not yet arrived!

Now the nursery is full of Lucy's toys and clothes, not to mention our cruising little pile of joy!

Thank you for reading this last year and for many posts in the future!

PS... Fingers crossed, I will get back on track with my usual schedule of 5 posts a week soon!
