{Whole wheat bread - bread machine recipe}

 I haven't been able to find a bread machine I really like until now! I had a cheap one but it broke down and later on my friend Eri gave me hers but unfortunately it quit shortly after I made some loaves. I personally love white bread even though it's not healthy. My hubby prefers to have whole wheat bread, and I have been searching the recipe for a good soft whole wheat bread that has a light texture.
I remember my friend Joy loves to make her own bread, so this time I tried her recipe.  The bread comes up very nice looking with soft inside texture and a slightly harder outside. It tastes very good as well. So thanks Joy for the recipe!

This Bread machine has come handy for me. I am not much of kneading dough. Here is the recipe for WHOLE WHEAT BREAD:

1 1/2 c water
3 tbls oil
4 tbls honey


After combining these ingredients in the bottom of the bread machine, pile 3 c of wheat on top of the water. This creates a barrier between the wet ingredients and the dray. 
Next add:

2 tsp salt
3 tbls dry milk
5 level tsp of bread machine yeast






The aroma of freshly home baked bread permeated my kitchen. As I took it out of the bread machine and looked out the window, I saw the snow falling. It just makes the house feel so peaceful, quite, and I hear the hungry tummies were calling for food.
Also while waiting for the bread to be ready I managed to finish a newborn bonnet for my photography props that I have left untouched for a few days.

{Snow White Lace Bonnet and Leg Warmer}

Thanks to OSCARS night! Finally I am done making a bonnet and a pair of leg warmers for newborn photography props. Anyway if you are around Erie PA location and want to have one a kind newborn photography please contact me. You can visit my photography business HERE.

I got this beautiful yarn from a local yarn store called Cultured Purl. This yarn is so soft and fine it is very nice for newborn props. 
Back again to the OSCARS, I am pretty much happy that Lupita Nyong'o won Best Supporting Actress and Matthew Mcconaughhey won Best Actor. 

One line I love the most from Lupita speech is "When I look down at this golden statue, may it remind me and every child, no matter where you're from, your dreams are valid".
