Loving my new bread maker

I thought I would update regards to my bread maker I got. Thanks for giving me the nudge Sadie! 

I love it I bought the Panasonic one a bit pricey but has by far had the best reviews. So far we have had fresh bread on three days since Saturday morning. One being a lovely white loaf the  other two are just a soft sandwich loaf perfect for sandwiches for Mr M to take to work and children's lunch box. (Not daughters though) my next Loaf will be a gluten free one just trying to find a good recepie that doesn't contain egg like most GF free loafs do.

I love the fact I just put the ingredients in the bread pan. Yeast in the dispenser set the programme and it does it all for me. I know it's very lazy off me and I'm sure lots of eyes are rolling and people tutting but I just can't seem to master the dough of GF bread so the bread maker is mainly to provide GF bread that isn't processed and full of artificial ingredients for my daughter. As I have spent quiet a bit on it I might as well use it for all our bread. 

I'm glad I bought one though. 

If all goes well tomorrow morning I should have.....

Fresh home made bread. I finally got a Breadmaker after many months of toying about it feeling guilty I should be doing it by hand getting cross at the bricks I was producing. Seriously I could have built a strong house with them. 

The main reason I'm getting one is so I can bake fresh gluten free bread for my daughter. That hopefully won't turn out like bricks. I'm starting of with a traditional white loaf tomorrow though to get used to the machine then I will start on the gluten free variety. All the ingredients have been placed in timer on for fresh bread for breakfast. 

I did invest in the most expensive one but all the reviews suggested you get what you pay for. I will let you know the results.

I'm down for the cricket teas tomorrow again and have made a lemon drizzle cake and tomorrow morning I will make chocolate orange brownies and salted caramel brownies. Along with egg  sandwiches and tuna, sausage rolls and potato wedges. 

What's been happening

It's been quite a busy couple of weeks of after school clubs and cricket at weekends, though things are now settling down nicely and we are back in a routine. I do have to write everything down though as bound to forget something. 

I also have a new car it was really needed my last car we bought at the auctions and was 6 months old and the clock read 6000 miles. That's was nearly 15 years ago and was our main car until 3 years ago then we became part of the two car family. I need a car to potter about in but don't do many miles. But  the time came to replace it and back  to the auctions we didn't see anything so popped into the local Ford garage and saw a nice little KA only 9000 on the clock and three years old. So I'm the new owner of this little car and I must say I love it.

If you have been flicking through the news you might have seen the new book eat nourish glow which seems to be the latest diet craze. You cut out all gluten, dairy and processed sugar this is nothing new in our household as my daughter has coeliacs and im boarder line she also is allergic to dairy and eggs so she has to cut these things out for her health and so she doesn't end up in hospital. She does have a bit of sugar in things though. All our meals are dairy and gluten free anyway unless I make a pie which myself and little miss don't eat. I'm always on the thinking that as long as it's homemade it's much better for you than shop bought with all the preservatives ( im sure you need a chemistry degree to understand what half of them are) they put in. Look at Mrs Berry queen of home baking she looks great and cooks everything from scratch. I wonder if the trick is just one small slice or biscuit not the whole cake or packet!
