Cup of Coffee? I Think I Will!

Wow, I am starting off SLOW today! We had a great day yesterday! I made another batch of bread. I love that recipe. This time I let it WAY over proof. The second proof (rise) went for about 4 1/2 hours before I baked it. I wasn't sure how this would turn out but WOW, it is nice. Very much like store bought white bread but with the great flavor and even better texture of homemade bread.

So, for dinner before we went to the GAME OF THE SEASON I made beef stew. So delicious! Tom was able to find some really great grass-fed, all-natural beef for about $1 per pound!! That stew meat combined with my organic and home grown vegies in a nice thick stew base was phenomenal. So good in fact, that we have only one bowl left from the whole pot! I really love the sense of pleasure and satisfaction I get from making a good meal that is healthful and they REALLY love it.

I think I am going to make a carrot cake today. So, tonight when Tom gets home with the cream cheese I can make the icing. Mmmm, that is one of my favorites! Here is the recipe!
