Bread Bread Bread

Who doesn't like the smell of fresh baking bread !!! ?? I wish you could bottle it and use it as a spray for the car and office or on those days you wish you were Suzie Homemaker and weren't.. I found this recipe on a great website That I totally love called Brownie Points Its such a great easy bread .. You need to let it rise for a long time but there are only 4 ingredients. Water , Flour , yeast and salt!! No bread pan .. using your dutch oven!!

So with this wonderful bread. You can make those comfort foods your mom used to make like a crunch,gooey,wonderful grilled cheese. You can up it for the adult in you

Mix the cheese up dont unwrap it from the presliced things.
Think of great things from the farmers market like a nice ripe tomato or maybe a roasted red pepper maybe some mushrooms or a nice handful of fresh spinach. Oh yum .. the choices endless.. Happy grilling !!

The Best Bread I ever Made

Watermelon is Next

I spent one morning this past week with my oldest son .. We juiced watermelon .. I got 5 nice very very nice large watermelons at the Farmers Market in Toledo. So we juiced them all up and froze the juice in jars .. We will be making Watermelon wine!! You will all get the step by step trials on this .. I"ll share what not to do and how much of a sticky mess .. I'm hoping to take pic's so you can all witness the wild watermelon ways! Stay tuned

Jalapeno-pepper-jelly

I made this recipe the other day ... It was very tasty tho I did make a few changes of my own
I didn't use the green bell peppers .. I used red peppers instead .. I like the flavor of those green peppers dont set well with me .. this is wonderful on a bagel and cream cheese or poured over a block of soften cream cheese and used to spread on crackers or some nice bread for a quick appetizer. I also like it for a glaze on chicken,pork or steak !! yum
