When they were little I didn't tend to bake as much and all bread was made in the bread maker.

As we live out in the country, we always have plenty in the fridge and freezer, as we don't want to have to drive to town too often for food shopping. If I find I have veggies that need used up, I simply make a pot of soup and freeze it, ready for a meal on a busy day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151798681951781536.post-13058568606149258562016-06-27T13:18:57.864+01:002016-06-27T13:18:57.864+01:00I prefer to spend my time knitting than in a kitch...I prefer to spend my time knitting than in a kitchen but when I do spend time in the kitchen it is so well worth it.
