Adventures in Baking

Sorry for the delay in the blog posts! We've been getting settled in and enjoying life as a married couple. I've been back to work and have had to accept the fact that my little ride on cloud 9 is starting to come to an end. I think my first day back at work I made a comment to Adam that was something like "you mean married women still have to work?!" Ha...I was only kidding of course :) The real world has crept it's way back into our lives and we are continuing to learn how to live with and love each other and honor Jesus above all else.

Lately I've been trying to focus on meal planning and grocery shopping and keeping my man's belly satisfied. Today I spent HOURS slaving over a hot stove to bring you....drum roll please...FRESH BAKED WHOLE WHEAT BREAD!!! I know, I know...try not to be too impressed. Okay, so I really didn't slave over a hot stove for hours, but I did make 2 loaves on homemade bread! It was my first attempt, so some things need some tweaking, but it got approval from the mister! He does eat anything that's put in from of him, but I'll take what I can get at this point ;) I got a KitchenAid mixer from my awesome hostesses at the Bridal Shower and I've been dying to use it, so this was my first time to use it!

 Here she is in all her glory!

Some of the main ingredients

All dumped into the mixer

 Lettin' the yeast do its thing

The dough!! About to let it rise

And into the oven in goes! So proud of this little loaf!

BREAD! Overall it turned out pretty good :) I'll definitely keep trying until I perfect it.

This afternoon I'm making cake balls for the ladies retreat this weekend :) So excited about this retreat. It's so needed. We need time to get away and be with the Lord from time to time. I sure am thankful for this opportunity to meet some new people and sit before the Lord. I'll post more about it when I get back!

Much Love,
