instead of a salad, we had it with steamed broccoli.

.....
 

Southwest salad with that zesty dressing! {have no idea the name of it! }

It's not dinner I am savoring, it's dessert: I can live on pie.... anything with a crust

Taking my baby to our favorite Thai place here! It's usually the first place we eat when she gets into town...

Not entirely sure, but it's definitely going to involve some of this freshly-baked bread....

I'm sure it doesn't look like all that to some of the culinary wizards that frequent this thread, lol, but to me it is a huge success! I didn't use a bread machine or even an electric mixer; and I didn't burn the place down in the process!

I was looking for an alternative to store-bought bread not only for savings, but also to cut out additives and preservatives. (I know the flour isn't really healthy, but it's a start).

My first ever attempt at baking bread from scratch and it tastes sooo good!

So proud of myself this morning! :cheesy:

lol, no one ever says that about my cooking!
 

So you can have fifty loaves! :cheesy: Thank you, Mopsie!

If you were closer, I would bring you some fresh outta the oven. lol, I'm always trying to pawn off my cooking to no avail and I've finally got a taker and she's 50 thousand miles away, for crying out loud!

Ooh, English muffins are good, too, though. The nooks, the crannies, the butter! Yum!

going to keep keeping it simple with pasta and sauce for tonight..garlic bread and maybe a salad.

Not sure tonight-- But I'm craving eggs.

So possibly breakfast for dinner-- scrambled eggs, a slice of orange cranberry loaf, and sausage.

Yep, instant mouth salivate.

I'll finally finish that Costco BBQ chicken... by Day 4, the novelty has worn off.

Bbq baked chicken..cheese potatoes...green beans & salad. Yummt yummy

I made a chuck roast with garlic mashed potatoes, salad, and crusty bread. I didn't have any vegetable broth soooooo I grabbed the dry vermouth and deglazed with that.
