Unrelated to the post, but I thought it was good food for thought…
So…I forgot a few things I wanted to include in yesterday’s post! I’m going to blame it on my crazy caffeine withdrawals. I am trying (for the third time this year!) to kick my diet soda habit and get those artificial flavors/colors out of my system. But wow! I had a killer headache for most of the day! We’ll see how today goes…
Anyway, here is the recipe we used for the bread in the bread machine:
Oatmeal White Bread (in the bread machine)
1 1/4 cups milk
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup oats
3 cups flour
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
Warm the milk in the microwave, so it’s barely warm when you touch it (for me, it was about 30 seconds). Put the ingredients in the machine as recommended in your directions (mine says liquids first, then dry, then yeast). Set your machine for 1.5lbs, LIGHT crust, and Basic/White Bread. Press start and wait until it beeps!
Side note: I actually bribed my children with the first slice of bread for whoever picked up their toys the fastest. And it worked!
WEARING. I can feel fall approaching and I am so excited to pull out the sweaters and jeans! I just ordered a few things from Lands End Canvas and was really pleased with the quality. Have you ever ordered from them?
REMEMBERING. Another fun find from another blog was 280daily.com. Easily accessible from your smart phone, it’s a way to journal and can be used for many things: a food diary, record of what you did that day, etc etc. I decided to use it as a gratitude journal. I get a reminder e-mail everyday at 4PM, so I never forget. And the coolest part is that at some point, I have the option of printing out or having a book bound with the entries I wrote. So neat…and a great way to have a gratitude journal for this busy mamma!
