My youngest son and his sweet fiancé were married! Everything was beautiful, and as often happens, I came home from the reception with lots of leftovers and perishable things that I didn't want to go to waste! One of those things was about a gallon of buttermilk!

Years ago I received an Oster Bread machine, and I loved how easy it made it to mix up dough, but I could never get the bread to bake without collapsing. It was very annoying, as kneading bread is my least favorite part of making bread, and I liked how simple a bread machine made it to have fresh baked bread everyday. I mean a fresh loaf with about 5 minutes of work on my part is a dream. Alas I felt it wasn’t meant to be for us, and once I got my KitchenAid, the bread machine sat on a shelf collecting dust. And we went back to buying store bought bread. But I guess I wasn’t exactly ready to give up on my bread machine, because it is one of the things that made the move with us to Georgia. And with the prices of groceries rising everyday, it seemed like a good time to pull it out and give it another go. I mean millions of others use bread machines to make great loaves of bread, I knew I could too. Plus now we’re more in the country and farther from stores so it makes running to the store for bread a big hassle. If I could just make a loaf every night of the next day, it’s less time consuming and more economical!

Thank you for your support. I have been sharing handmade gift ideas with you lately. I've been pretty busy and productive making these and these for family, neighbors and friends as I prepare for Christmas this year. Making things myself really helps to put me in the Christmas Spirit! Another very popular gift I'm working on this year are a couple of recipes for gifts in a jar. With grocery prices being so high this year, I feel like some food gifts will be appreciated by many and I have found and come up with some great recipes! Plus, I've found efficient, quick ways to pack and seal them so that making up a bunch of these gifts is a snap! First, I'll start with a couple of recipes! One uses a quart jar and one uses pint jars.

Thank you for your support. A few days ago I shared a recipe with you that used dried apples, not reconstituted. It was a fabulous recipe for Dried Apple Oatmeal Cookies. I mentioned in that post that sometimes you reconstitute apples to use them when baking and sometimes you don't have to. A few people have asked me about how to reconstitute them, so I thought I would share the simple process with you, plus give you a recipe for Apple Crisp using dried apples as well. (I think I also mentioned that in the cookie post.)
