Today, Monday (11/17) Is National Homemade Bread Day! YUMMY!

Today is NATIONAL HOMEMADE BREAD DAY!  Is there any better smell in a house than homemade bread? It can make a home smell so inviting and delicious!

Remember back in school, when I was a kid, the schools would make the best homemade bread. It was something you could smell blocks away. My friends and I couldn't wait for lunch hour to tear apart those delicious buns! Sometimes we would barter our bread for something else on the plate.

If you need a recipe for homemade bread, you'll find that it's rather complex. It's not easy to make from scratch and there is no quick method.

Think back when everyone wanted a homemade bread maker. It made baking a loaf of homemade bread very easy and quick. It seemed as everyone had one or wanted one. Now you can find many of them at thrift stores and resale shops. The fad left as quickly as it came.

Personally, I love homemade banana nut bread! Since it is NATIONAL HOMEMADE BREAD DAY, think about serving it tonight for dinner. Or break out that old bread maker that you haven't used in decades.

Bread is a combination of starches, carbohydrates and grains. It probably one of most popular starches in your diet. It could also be a culprit to the war you wage to losing weight.

What is your favorite homemade bread? Do you still use your homemade bread maker machine?
