This weekend has been full of Christmas festivities!! Which means FOOD!!!! Yesterday was my mom’s extended family gathering where we had a potluck. I can officially say I am a “Cochrane” because I brought Taco Salad. This is honestly my mother in-laws specialty. She brings it to every event and it is amazing! I haven’t perfected it yet (my lettuce wasn’t shredded enough) but I will get there! But this post isn’t really about taco salad….
It will be about BAKING!! Today I had my grandparents over for dinner and gift exchange. I made bread, ham, cheesy mashed potatoes, glazed carrots and apple pie! I must admit it was very good! I love to entertain and I take pride in the food I serve!
My husband wanted a bread machine as a wedding gift, and lucky for him, my aunt got us one for a shower gift! I love it and have made a few loaves. I am going to try and tackle some different kinds of bread eventually, but for now here is a basic white bread recipe.
