Early Mornings and Baking Bread

I have a confession to make- I am no more a morning person than my 6 year old is.

When she whines and stubbornly refuses to get out of bed, I get it.  Because I want to do the same thing.

*sigh* I have been SOOOO excited about this summer.  Summer is a lot more fun as a SAHM than it was when I was working and I'm loving every minute of it.  Or at least I WAS enjoying it until summer school started up.  Signing up for summer school seemed like a much better idea before I got a taste of sleeping in a little in the mornings!

Eneeways, my "run off and do fun stuff with the kids" time has been intruded upon for the past few days and will continue to be scarce for the next few weeks, so I've been doing stuff I enjoy less (like keeping my house clean).

Thankfully, I actually enjoy getting back into my normal routine in some ways- especially the bread baking.

I love to cook.  I love baking even more.  One of the things I love having time for now that I'm not working is baking bread- I don't think I've bought a loaf in the past year.  I've tried a lot of recipes, but this one is my absolute favorite

Sabrina's Sandwich Bread

It's stays soft and fresh for what seems like forever- and it's delicious!

I cut the salt in half, use salted butter, and make it with whole wheat white flour.  LOVE!
