I watched my new DVD, *Homestead Blessings: The Art Of Bread Making*
Oh, the yummy goodness!
I will be updating each time I try one of their recipes.
Hey Michele (in WV)...they have a pizza dough recipe on there, too. Check it out, it seems really easy to do.

Frugal Shopping Adventures
I get real excited when I find rare, great deals at the local grocery store.
In the big store, I mostly shop in the small section of Natural and Organic stuff.
First, I check in the *Manager's Special's* box. This box holds products that are marked down in price for one reason or another.
I've found:
Organic Broth for .99 - $1.25 ... reg. $3 - $4
Organic Cereals for $1.25 ... reg. $4 +
And on the shelves I've come across...
Organic Butter for $.99 ... reg. $4+ I bought all six of them :)
Organic Yogurt for $.99 - $1.25 ... reg. $3+
Organic Milk for $.99 - $1.49 ... reg. $3+ for 1/2 gallon.
Just wanted to share a few of the great bargins I've found in the past few weeks.

Tweaked, Again...
This past weekend, I decided to, once again, tweak the bread recipe.
I replaced the water with organic lactose free milk, organic sugar for the honey (only because I am out of honey at the moment), and organic butter for the oil.
It turned out very yummy!
The one thing I am consistantly finding is that I need more flour than the original recipe calls for, otherwise the dough is very runny.
As soon as my copy of Homestead Blessings: The Art of Bread Making arrives in my mailbox, I will watch it over and over again. Maybe, just maybe, I wrote the recipe incorrectly.
