I discovered the secret...

...of keeping fresh, homemade bread in the home at all times.

Spend one night a week making dough for the next weeks bread (or maybe even one night a week making a months worth of dough... But I doubt I can get all of that kneading done at once). I like the idea of it being one night - get it all done at once!

Then freeze it.

When I'm due for another loaf, I pull it out of the freezer, let it rise over night then bake the next morning.

I've found when I freeze already baked loaves, they thaw stale. Maybe it's the way I store them? But I have a couple loaves of bread just for french toast sitting in our chest freezer, I'll pull them out when we decide on french toast for breakfast.

We just bought a bunch of meat in bulk so I am excited to start planning roasts, stews and steaks into the meal plan. Mmmmm.

I'm going to take the kids for a walk so they can watch the farmers harvesting potatoes from the field behind our home... Andrew is sure to go crazy watching the big machines! Alexis, while excited also, will be able to contain it a bit better :-) Kaitlyn I'm sure will just sleep in the sling.
