Must Have: Bread Maker. My new favorite toy

Ever use a bread maker?

This is my new Must Have!!!

ok. so if you are a purist... you may poo-poo my new favorite toy.

but.

If you are a lady who never made her own bread...

or, seriously, you don't have the time to beat your flour to a pulp...

this thing is awesome.

If you have one in your cabinet,

pull it out, my friends.

The time has come for yummy, really inexpensive, melt-in-your-mouth, fresh

homemade bread.

{oh. and try this recipe. I adapt it by replacing some of the white flour with 1 3/4 whole wheat flour. I also use honey, and I don't use the double rise... it deflated on me. but never fear. It still tasted delicious and we ate it all without a gripe.}
