Easy Crusty Bread

Do you love home made bread? How about an easy recipe that bakes up crusty on the outside and moist and delicious on the inside? I was amazed at how easy this bread makes up. AND no kneading.

I just wanted to share the pictures of how beautifully the bread looks. Try different ingredients. We have had cheese and rosemary, Calamari Olive, and Garlic breads. Each one has been delicious. If you love fresh home made bread, I know you will love this one.

Here is the link for the recipe.

Every Time a Bell Rings

book cover for Every Time a Bell Rings

Every Time a Bell Rings is a series of essays about the background of the movie It's a Wonderful Life.

Even though it was not what I was expecting, the subjects were interesting in bringing the movie, actors, and the director into focus of the era. A lot of behind the scenes information which are credited to director Frank Capra.

It's A wonderful Life is simply a Christmas tradition since being under public domain. Although it is 80 years old, it is still a holiday classic. Well researched by Emily St. James and Lauren Theisen.

I received a complimentary ebook copy from the publisher, through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
