And here they are...

This truly is one device that makes life easier for the frugally-minded. Before I had one, I was making bread the hard way and while I appreciated the exercise and feeling of accomplishment that gave me, it also made it more difficult to make the family's bread consistently.

My favorite thing about having a bread machine is that it makes it so much easier and more appealing to be creative with our bread. Now not only do I make all of our regular bread, I have branched out to making rolls, hamburger buns, french sticks and pita bread and I have a ton of other things yet to try.

Besides that, have you ever had a freshly homemade veggie burger on a freshly homemade hamburger bun? Oh. My. I'll have to do a blog post on that next time we have veggie burgers for supper. You'll never go back to boca burgers again!
