So I couldn't justify a Zojirushi machine at the moment and bought a cheap Hamilton Beach instead (so far, so good). Bakes better bread than I've been able to turn out with my KA mixer and baking in the oven. (I am bread baking challenged.)

THEN...I ran across a website called Prepared Pantry. OM Goodness! They carry a bazillion different bread mixes. So far the San Francisco Sourdough, Italian Country and French were tasty, good texture and foolproof!

Now I have another order in for Fully Loaded Baked Potato Bread (sour cream, chives, bacon bits), Knobby Apple Cinnamon Gourmet bread, Jalapeno Cheese Bread and Sour Cream Onion bread mixes.

Yeah, I know those who could make them cheaper than using mixes, but until I practice a bit more, I want good results after all my failures...

You're right...that website could create major damage!

And, you just had to come here and get me in trouble along with you!!!!

I love to use my bread machine in the winter. I would never have purchased one. However, I was night nursing supervisor and the girls in L&D used to make bread in their little kitchen area. L&D was right next to the nursing office and they used to call and invite me to partake. I was hooked! Evil L&D nurses! They should be ashamed of themselves! And, so should you!

Another person in trouble! What a great site. Thank you so much for sharing. I don't know what is going to be in more trouble -- my wallet or my hips.

Happy baking.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU~!

I love baking bread in my bread machine (actually a Cook's Essential) that I bought years ago that does a great job but my local grocery stores have stopped carrying bread mixes. My favorite was a Cinnamon Raisen that the family thought was as good as desert~! No where to be found and my machine got pushed to the back of the storage closet cause we just didn't want the wheat or white. So, as soon as I'm done here, I'm clicking over to Prepared Pantry and planning to buy some mixes!

Again, my thanks!

OH.... and I'm paying absolutely no attention to whatever lands on my hips....
