Early Mother's Day Gift

Mother's Day is still a couple week away but the present that I picked out Ryan got for me came yesterday. 




It is a Bosch mixer and a wheat grinder. Now I can make de-lish homemade bread. I have been wanting these for a really long time. My mom always made homemade whole wheat bread growing up. It tastes so much better than the grocery store bread. For a while I started buying my bread at Great Harvest but that stuff is 5 bucks a loaf!! I did the math and the amount of money I would spend on bread purchased at Great Harvest I will have these two appliances paid off in a year and a half. And these puppies last FOREVER. My mom bought her mixer and wheat grinder 25 years ago and they are still running strong. I tried making bread in my Kitchen Aid stand mixer, but it just doesn't do the job like the Bosch. I made my first batch yesterday {with the help of my mom... actually I watched while she did most of the work} and this is what I got...

...two loafs of golden, whole-wheat goodness! I never thought I would be this excited for kitchen appliances. :)
