My Favorite Recipe for Homemade Bread in the Bread Machine

Here is my favorite recipe for Bread in the Bread Machine.

 I like to use my own recipe because this way I know exactly all my ingredients.

2 cups of flour ( I usually use half of whole wheat or add some rye flour)

3/4 teaspoon yeast

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon butter

1 egg bitten

1/2 cup of water

I put all ingredients in order I wrote it. Then I start my bread machine on regular cycle, its about 2.5 hours.

I hope you will like it too.

Enjoy your bread!

Aloe Vera Plant Usage Research

Ok, I have lots of Aloe Vera plants in my garden.

 I know Aloe can be great for your skin - gel from the aloe plant will help with cuts, burns, acne, moisturize and heal skin. I should use it more for skin. 

Healthy Breakfast for Teen - Smoothie

My kids love smoothies. Recently I start making smoothie every morning for breakfast. It takes me just a minute or two to put everything into blender.

You can't make kids to eat so much fruits, even if they like them, especially in the morning.

 Like an example. My kids never like to eat melons, but melons are high in essential vitamins and minerals. Vitamin C, A, Potassium and Lycopene plus they are always on sale at the grocery store. Guess who is putting melons into smoothies every morning now? :)
 I usually clean melon, cut on 6-8 big pieces and keep in a big zip lock bag in the fridge.

 So my morning smoothie contains any fruit or berries we have on hands. But most consistent ingredients are bananas and frozen berries.

Healthy Food for today - Chicken Bone Broth and Couscous

Today I cooked Chicken Bone Broth, I learned about couple of months ago.

Making your own broth is very simple and cost effective.

 I usually just use bones from chicken and cook it in my slow cooker almost for entire day.
I add carrots, onions and onions shells, celery. Broth is ready when bones are soft.
