Pinterest......oh how I love you.....

Once a week I am trying to DO something from all my pinning going on! If you have no idea what I am talking about then head on over to my pinterest page------------>

(over there on the right)
It is REALLY ADDICTING!!
I pin something everyday.

So this week was a good homemade bread.
I have NEVER baked bread before.
I wanted to try something that Kaylee would eat and get some more veggies in her diet.
I was REALLY surprise at how easy this was and how AMAZING it turned out!!
