One thing that I really enjoy doing is making bread. For Christmas Noelle gave me a recipe for a 6 grain bread and I have been trying to get it to work since then. It is a heavy bread and my kitchen aid was not cutting it...the first time I made it I tried to let it knead the bread and my mixer started to smoke. Then I resorted to kneading by hand (not fun) and my bread was still not turning out quite right. I was bummed and went back to buying store bought bread. I was dreaming of someday getting a Bosch Mixer, which I had both heard and researched are the best for making bread....well, I did not have to dream too long. Trent and my parents gave me a Bosch for my birthday and it is soooooo nice! I made the 6 grain bread recipe yesterday and it worked and it was delicious!!! I love it!
Now, one funny thing about me asking and dreaming for a mixer is that my parents gave Noelle and I both the Kitchen Aid mixers several years ago for Christmas. I was really excited about getting a mixer, but did not cook or bake much at that time. I remember my mom telling me to try it out and make sure it worked ok. So, having no clue what to try to make I bought a box cake mix and did that...my family thought I was crazy for mixing that in my Kitchen Aid, but at least I found out it worked:) Little did I know that just a few years later I would love to try and make things from scratch!

You are amazing with the bread thing - I remember grandma always made bread when we were at home and I loved the homemade scones!!!!
The smell is still there!
Enjoy!
Happy 30th!!
love you-
Amen! I would love one of those! My parents bought one a couple years ago and make bread every week with it. Those things have power! I made cheeseballs in it for Christmas gifts and it was sooo easy. I made like 15 of them at one time and it took me like 2 minutes! Seriously awesome.
We were just talking about getting a bosch someday. You'll have to tell us all about it. By the way Happy birthday! That is the best way to turn 30-- way to go Trent and company!
hey! that's so cool! i hope you enjoy yours as much as me. don't leave it unattended-- it might crash to the floor!ha! i read that if you put rubber backing stuff under it, it doesn't slip.
talk to you later!
