So after a recent trip to Glasgow, where I was wildly successful in the shopping department, I decided to try and step up my frugality this month. I decided to focus on my food budget and try to get through about 3 weeks without buying anything but milk, lettuce, yogurt, and tomatoes.
In the average household, this would probably be almost impossible, but in this household, our kitchen cabinets are filled with a plethora of American muffin mixes, and our freezer is full of frozen meat we haven't used. I figured I could nibble away at everything we normally overlook.
If you hadn't noticed, bread was not on the list of things I could buy. So...
Using stuff that's just been sitting on our shelves, I made a loaf of bread and a few rolls! I've never been very ambitious when it comes to baking, but I was quite proud of myself when I popped this adorable loaf out of the oven.
Anyone have a yummy and easy bread recipe to share?

Yeah! I have a GREAT brown bread (Irish brown bread) recipe. It takes a few obscure (to me, anyway) ingredients (like wheat germ), but once you buy the jar you could make dozens of loaves with it.
I also have a good banana bread recipe that's super easy. I also have carrot bread and zucchini bread if you like. I'll email them to you later
Yum! I'll take the Irish brown bread & the banana bread recipes!
