Bread Machine Raisin Bread

Written by admin on March 29th, 2008

Has anyone noticed the price of bread going up?  I work in a bakery, so it’s really been evident to me while at work, but it’s most alarming when I’m trying to shop for my own groceries.  We are feeding six here, and I know some are feeding even more.  A lot more!

I pulled out my breadmaker to a very prominent location.  No.  Actually, I made a place just for the breadmaker so that I will be reminded to make a few loaves a week to help add to our food without increasing our spending.  Hopefully, this will cut our grocery bill.

Before I went to work today, I got on the Betty Crocker website again and found this recipe for Bread Machine Cinnamon Raisin Bread.  It only took about 10 minutes to set everything up, and when I came home tonight I had a fresh loaf of raisin bread sitting in the bread machine, albeit cooled down, to put a simple icing on.  (Simple bread icing = powdered sugar, milk, vanilla.)

The recipe is a pretty good one.  I think the bread would have been great warm, but it is still good tonight.

As an aside, I picked up some new Mrs. Meyers cleaning supplies.  A couple of containers of surface scrub and a bottle of all purpose cleaner so that I can continue to refill my spray bottle.  All this in Lemon Verbena.  Mmmmmmmm.

I also decided to use a coupon and try something new.  Every night I drink some type of relaxing herbal tea.  I bought this Good Earth Organic Good Night.  I’ve not tried it before.  So we’ll see how it works.  :)

And with that…

goodnight.
