I wanted to share with you a free book recommendations. The books below are obviously very popular right now and for all time.

Popular Audio Books

Where the Crawdads Sing Audiobook by Delia Owens
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone Audiobook by J.K. Rowling
The Five Love Languages Audiobook by Gary Chapman
Jessica Simpson Open Book Audiobook by Jessica Simpson (I like this one because it was her talking!)

I also am including some books I have read and loved both recently and in the past. These are not found on your average book list, so they might be unique to me and my taste but all three of the books have been in my mind for a life time. I think of them often!

The Orphan Keeper Audiobook by Camron Wright

I really enjoyed this book because of my India Trip. An inspiring, true story about a boy adopted into the United States but unable to share (via his language barrier), he isn’t an orphan but rather kidnapped off the streets.

Seven-year-old Chellamuthu’s life – and his destiny – is forever changed when he is kidnapped from his village in Southern India and sold to the Lincoln Home for Homeless Children. His family is desperate to find him, and Chellamuthu anxiously tells the Indian orphanage that he is not an orphan, he has a mother who loves him. But he is told not to worry, he will soon be adopted by a loving family in America.

The Light Between Oceans Audiobook by M.L. Stedman

A complex situation. It basically shows the butterfly affect how one persons decision or actions can change the life of others for a lifetime. I liked the book a lot and think about it regularly.

A captivating, beautiful, and stunningly accomplished debut novel – the story of a lighthouse keeper and his wife who make one devastating choice that forever changes two worlds.

In 1918, after four harrowing years on the Western Front, Tom Sherbourne returns to Australia to take a job as the lighthouse keeper on remote Janus Rock. To this isolated island, where the supply boat comes only four times a year and shore leaves are granted every other year at best, Tom brings a young, bold, and loving wife, Isabel. Three years later, after two miscarriages and one stillbirth, the grieving Isabel is tending the grave of her newly lost infant when she hears a baby’s cries on the wind. A boat has washed up on shore carrying a dead man and a living baby. Tom, whose records as a lighthouse keeper are meticulous and whose moral principles have withstood a horrific war, wants to report the dead man and the infant immediately. But Isabel has taken the tiny baby to her breast. Against Tom’s judgment, they claim the child as their own and name her Lucy, but a rift begins to grow between them. When Lucy is two, Tom and Isabel return to the mainland and are reminded that there are other people in the world…and one of them is desperate to find her lost baby.

Pachinko Audiobook by Min Jin Lee

I really enjoyed this book. It really made me learn more about both Korean and Japanese culture through the eyes of three generations. The story continued to evolve so you never bore of just one character or story.

Profoundly moving and gracefully told, Pachinko follows one Korean family through the generations, beginning in early 1900s Korea with Sunja, the prized daughter of a poor yet proud family, whose unplanned pregnancy threatens to shame them. Betrayed by her wealthy lover, Sunja finds unexpected salvation when a young tubercular minister offers to marry her and bring her to Japan to start a new life.

I have shared before about an Audible free trial. I have seen them offer as much as two books per trial. Currently it looks like it is only one book in the Amazon Audio Book free trial.

Artificial Cherry Blossoms Branches

I have shared with you guys my love for Grandmillenial décor. I have been embracing antiques and still keeping with my millennial/modern touches. While many of my antiques were passed down, I have found a lot for next to nothing on Facebook.

One oversized blue and white chinoiserie vase I picked up off Facebook Market place was this beauty. It took me awhile to decide how I wanted to decorated it. After putting beautiful fresh flowers inside, one week, I knew I could not keep up the cost of buying new flowers.

I talked to others in our Grandmillenial Facebook group and came across two Artificial Cherry Blossoms Branches people swore by. I decide to buy both to compare quality and pricing.

Afloral verses Amazon Cherry Blossoms

The blue and white vase I used takes 5 to 6 stems.

To compare, the center flowers are from Afloral. The Afloral Cherry Blossms are a brighter pink and the price is about $18 per stem.

The right and left stems are from Amazon. There are number of cherry blossom stems on Amazon, but this is the set I picked up. The Amazon Cherry Blossom Set was 3 for $48. They were softer to the touch.

In my opinion, neither was better than the other. I would re-order from both places.

Where to Buy Artificial Cherry Blossom Stems

Do you have faux flowers in your home? I would love to hear where you bought yours (because I need to fill half a dozen other vases!)

When my girls began school, I was in the classroom weekly returning the favor. Both when I taught and when I volunteered was before Pinterest, so I had to get really creative with my Volunteer Appreciation Gifts.

White Bread – Bread Machine Recipe

March 24, 2021 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Printable, Recipe, Social Media

Calling all bread lovers! Skip the store-bought loaf and make this easy and delicious bread machine white bread. This is the best bread machine recipe for white bread out there. Ah, I can almost smell the fresh bread baking now…

White Bread Bread Machine Recipe

Best Bread Machine White Bread Recipe

I don’t know about you, but I am a sucker for all things bread, especially when it’s freshly baked! There’s nothing like slicing through a loaf of bread that’s still warm and slathering a piece with butter or your favorite jam. While most people were at home during the past year, I noticed that making bread from scratch became a popular activity. Some loaves, especially sourdough, can take days or even weeks to perfect. I’m sure that the payoff is delicious, but as a busy mom, I prefer using our bread machine to make homemade bread!

This bread machine recipe for white bread will quickly become a staple in your house. The recipes that come with bread makers sometimes yield a dense bread that’s less than appetizing. I prefer to use my own recipes, like this bread machine white bread recipe. It creates a fluffy bread that still holds up — aka, the best of both worlds! Basically, it’s everything white bread should be. I love to use this white bread for everything, from buttered toast in the morning to hearty sandwiches at lunchtime. Make a loaf on Sunday and enjoy it all week long — or as long as your family takes to devour it! Here’s a pro tip: if your bread starts to get a bit stale, use it to make your own croutons or breadcrumbs!

Do you have to use bread flour to make this bread?

Using bread flour in this bread machine white bread recipe is important to get the right texture. However, you can substitute all-purpose flour if you’re in a bind. Since all-purpose flour has a lower protein content than bread flour, the texture won’t be exactly the same, but the bread will still taste delicious! I’d recommend that you keep a bag of bread flour in your pantry for all of your bread-making needs. That way, you have the right supplies locked and loaded whenever the craving for some homemade bread hits.

Is a bread machine worth the money?

I can’t speak for everyone out there, but I personally LOVE my breadmaker. Store-bought bread is nothing compared to freshly baked bread, and it’s a luxury to have homemade bread around the house without having to spend all day in the kitchen. With a bread machine, you don’t have to wait to let your bread rise or knead the dough. Just add your ingredients, select the setting, and in a few hours, your loaf is done! Plus, if you have to make large quantities of bread for your family or an event, a bread machine is definitely the way to go. All in all, my breadmaker was totally worth it. If you’ve been holding back on investing in a bread machine, this is your sign to take the plunge!

If you’re looking for more inspiration for your bread machine, take a look at our roundup of the Best Breadmaker Recipes.

I also recommend having this Baking Hacks & Tips Conversion Sheet on hand. It’s the perfect resource for bread making and you can instantly download it! Keep it in your recipe binder for easy access when you’re in the kitchen.

Baking Hacks & Tips Conversion Chart

Without further ado, let’s get into the recipe!

Ingredients you’ll need to make white bread in the bread machine:

1 cup water, heated to 110 degrees
3 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
3 tablespoons sugar
1 ½ teaspoon salt
3 cups bread flour
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (I used bread machine yeast.)

Save this recipe for later. Print your recipe and add it to your recipe box or recipe binder! This is my favorite Recipe Binder – I get tired of printing the same recipe over and over. A binder keeps me organized and gives me a place to store my recipes.

These sweet treats are beautiful with all their bright colors. They are {almost} too pretty to eat, especially with those Spring themed sprinkles on top.

And they are delicious when dropped into a cup of warm milk. Rather than using your normal white marshmalllows, we filled our chocolate bombs with colorful, fruit-flavored marshmallows. It’s an extra treat, if you aren’t expecting that flavor.

Make a batch of these Easter Hot Chocolate Bombs for your kiddo’s Easter basket, or send them to school for a special treat for the teachers.

Ingredients

Scale

1 12-ounce package white chocolate chips
1 packet instant cocoa mix
1 cup mini fruit flavored (rainbow) marshmallows
¼ cup Spring sprinkles (mine are Great Value brand from Wal-Mart)
6 cups hot milk to make the bombs

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

First, place the white chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate chips are fully melted.
Put a spoonful of melted chocolate inside one cup on the silicone mold and use the back of the spoon to spread the chocolate up the sides of the mold. Continue this process until all the molds are coated.
Set the remaining chocolate aside for sealing and decorating the bombs.
Allow the chocolate to set completely, around 2 to 3 hours. You can speed up the process by placing the chocolate in the refrigerator.
When the chocolate is set, remove each of the chocolate pieces from the mold. Add a small amount of instant hot cocoa mix to half the pieces and top the hot cocoa mix with marshmallows.
Reheat the chocolate in 15 second intervals until melted. Pick up an empty chocolate piece and dip the edges into the melted chocolate. Carefully place it on top of a filled piece and lightly press it into place. Use your finger to smooth melted chocolate around the seam. Continue until all the chocolate bombs are sealed.
Drizzle the chocolate over the top of the bombs and decorate with Spring sprinkles.
Allow the chocolate decorations to set before using, around 1 hour.
To make the hot chocolate bombs, place the bomb in the bottom of a mug. Pour one cup of hot milk over the top of the bomb to melt the chocolate. When the chocolate is completely melted, stir to combine.
