It wasn’t sunny enough today to take any good pictures, so here’s just a quick tip I’ll share that makes my life easier.
When I used to go to bakeries that sell good bread, I’d buy a nice baguette, set it on my counter, and the kids and I would eat through it in one day. Then, a few days later, I would need it for a recipe and then wouldn’t have it. Three negative consequences occurred from this: 1) I got fat from eating all that bread; 2) I would have to go back out to the bakery to buy more bread; and, 3) I got fat from eating the second loaf of bread.
Here is my solution and my tip for you:
While still fresh, slice bakery bread into desired thickness. Keep some on the counter for eating. Freeze the rest in plastic bags.
Yeah, I know it shouldn’t take a whole post or pictures to explain this, but I didn’t want you to all think I ditched you today.
Congrats on be the FB with BlondeDuck! You deserve the moment to glow!
