As if I didn’t have enough to do today after our first day home from our getaway to Vermont ~ cleaning and 6 loads of laundry, I did something I haven’t done in ages.
I baked my own bread!
Of course I cheated.
I used my bread maker. All I did was add the ingredients and push a button. 
. The photo shows hubby’s bread slicing talents ~ 4 slices for two sandwiches. And boy, was it good and all natural.
I’m going to try my hand at more bread baking with and without the bread making machine. I do feel guilty being a cheater.

@much2say I will show failures, too!
If I get good at this, we may have to invest in a bread slicer. Hubs always gets the job of slicing certain things such as bread, tomatoes, and onions. His eye and hand are much better than mine. I do have a gadget for slicing tomatoes, but never bother to take it out of the drawer.

I´m worse. I went for a visit to María´s house and she had baked bread with her own hands. I just had to say "thank you" for her to fill a bag with the 2 kinds of bread she had made.

I don't blame you. I've never baked bread but recall mom telling me that it would need to be kneaded and then it would have to rise and kneaded again so as a working girl in those days I had better things to do ... you know, go to parties, clubs or whatnot.

A cheater that never cheats. That means you're not guilty for it benefits you personally of your own cheating. Good idea.

Well you can blame it with technology that makes things easier for everyone.. Bread making is now made easier less hassle and stress. I saw some of it online and it looks pretty easy to prepare bread. Just toss in the ingredients and it will mixed for your and after a few hours you have a freshly baked bread. Congratulations for that effortless but enjoyable eating of your own bread.

Wow, 6 loads that's a lot. Last week I had 6 loads too but I did it in two days.

I love baking bread. It's been a while since I did so. I agree. A bread machine is cheating. I refuse to buy one because I love getting my hands in the dough. It tastes so good when it comes out of the oven. I start eating it while it's still warm.
Enjoy your bread. It looks delicious!

I'm an awful baker, so there is no way I could just make bread from scratch! I'd have to cheat too. Take all the help I can get! LOL! But homemade bread is the best, for sure!

@DianneN Definitely keep us updated on here! I won't even attempt bread, because if I did and had anyone try it. They would probably assume I was trying to kill them.

And whenever I prepare a meal, I cheat in some way! Frozen vegetable by Fresh-Like? At times, rolls from WalMart bakery? Mrs. Smith's apple pie? Yes, I do make homemade foods, but at times I don't! Your bread looks delicious and makes me want a bread-making machine, as a gift from my husband:)

@DianneN My mother had a bread making machine, they loved it! By the way, I hate constantly planning meals, cooking, and cleaning the kitchen. I need a breather, about twice a week
