So Sweet...

My two little angel babies.

Heeerrre's Ransom!

What I've been doing lately


This bread is soooo scrumptious! Also fun and easy to make. YUMMY!
Recipe is: One cup scalded milk; stir in 1/3 cup sugar, 4 tsp salt and 5 Tbls oil. (I use olive oil)
Measure 3 cups warm water; sprinkle 2 pkg yeast and stir, mix in with milk mixture. Add 6 cups flour to milk mixture, beat until smooth. Add enough additional flour to make dough stiff. Knead until smooth and elastic (roughly 10 minutes) Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top(just to keep from sticking to bowl.) Let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch the dough down, let rise again another 15 minutes. Divide dough into 3 pieces, shape into loaves. Remember to get the air pockets out. Place in bread pans and let rise a 3rd time til doubled. Bake 30 min at 375 (all ovens vary, so use best judgement when baking bread) If you like the top of your bread soft, run butter stick over the top right out of the oven.

Never give up, Never surrender!

No I'm not giving up. What I'm trying to do is figure out how to redecorate my blog. And I've been busy studying to get my Life Insurance license. Michael and I started our own business with Primerica, a financial services company, and we are really excited! I'm taking my test tomorrow. Any way... Happy Valentine's Day to all! I'll keep you posted.
