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!

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

1 cup water, heated to 110 degrees
3 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil

Quick High Protein Breakfast Recipes

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

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

If you are watching your waistline or desiring to eat healthier, these High Protein Breakfast Recipes are a great way to start your day. Save time and energy as they are not only quick but also easy for mornings on the go!

High Protein Breakfast Ideas

Why Eat a High Protein Breakfast?

Guys, I did it. I am back down to my pre-baby weight! After having my twins 18 months ago, I wanted to lose weight fast, and I knew I had to start with eating right. Now that I’ve accomplished my goal, I want to help others who are struggling with their pregnancy weight loss. While it wasn’t insanely difficult, it did take about six weeks of dedication and steadfast commitment. Besides fitness, the most important thing I changed was my diet, and adding high protein breakfast foods to my days made the world of a difference!

My Plan for Fast Weight Loss

I wanted to incorporate exercise into my weekly routine to make losing weight a lot faster, so I joined Orange Theory in September 2018. By late February 2019, I hadn’t lost much weight, but that didn’t concern me too much. Muscle is denser than fat —while they weigh the same, muscle takes up much less space —and I saw incredible changes in muscle and in my muscle tone. After six months of getting my body fit and toned, I turned my attention to my diet.

Following a High Protein Diet for Weight Loss

During the time I was breastfeeding, I was eating an entire pack of OREOs every two to three days (I wasn’t sharing either!). I needed the calories, but the sugar and fat were definitely not helping. I was only ten pounds above my pre-pregnancy weight, so I decided it was time to take the plunge and get rid of the remaining weight. Beach season was rapidly approaching and I wanted to look my bikini body best!

Counting calories is a huge no-no for me, but I made a point to eat less and in moderation. My most important meals were breakfast and lunch, which I made sure were packed with protein and nutrient-dense. Usually, I would have a protein shake or a protein bar to make it a quick, easy, nutritious meal replacement. I didn’t snack in between meals (getting Invisalign during this time helped with that), and then I ate the same dinner my family had. If they had fajitas, I traded the tortilla for lettuce for a healthy, low-calorie meal. If they ate pulled pork sandwiches, I tossed my pork over salad or only took half a bun to cut back on carbs without sacrificing protein.

My Quick Weight Loss Diet

By being strict on my diet plan to lose weight, I was able to do it QUICKLY (that was important —because we all want to lose weight fast and easily) and effectively. I drank a lot of Bubly, which has zero calories and zero sweeteners BUT the fizz and taste help curb my cravings! Focusing on eating a healthy protein breakfast helped me the most because it was the easiest way to get off on the right foot and maintain my cravings during the day.

Best Weight Loss Protein Products

My favorite morning protein powder for healthy protein shakes is BSN SYNTHA-6 Edge Protein Powder in Vanilla Milkshake. Vanilla seems to be the most versatile. I always throw in a very large handful of spinach when I add it to smoothies because you can’t taste it, and your body loves it! Another good shake blend is Chocolate Milkshake Protein Powder. If you add a small touch of peppermint extract, it tastes just like mint chocolate chip! Protein bars are by no means a five-star dessert, but they fill you up and get the job done. This Birthday Cake Thin bar was my favorite.

What is a High Protein Breakfast?

To start your day off right, curb cravings, and prevent that dreaded midday crash, you’re going to need lots of protein in your breakfast. If you’re looking for breakfast foods high in protein, make sure your kitchen is stocked with foods like greek yogurt, turkey sausage, eggs, and crunchy peanut butter, which all have 8-20 grams of protein per serving. Having plain yogurt every morning can get pretty tiresome, so I’ve put together a list of the best, quick high protein breakfast recipes for weight loss.

These High Protein Breakfast Ideas are here to give you a jump start to the day. Whether looking for more energy or wanting to drop a few pounds, these are some tasty (and super easy) recipes for you to accomplish your goal. Enjoy!

Energy bites are so easy and flavorful —anyone can make them! These perfect No Bake Energy Bites {Cheerful Choices} pack so much flavor in one bite. Plus, they’re full of protein and fiber to keep snacking at bay.

These Turkey Sausage Spinach Cups {Haute and Healthy Living} are a great way to pack protein into your day. They’re an easy, portable, and healthy protein breakfast or snack option, and you can even make them ahead of time for hectic days! If you prefer a high protein veggie breakfast without the meat, you can totally leave out the sausage.

If you’re looking for high protein breakfasts for weight loss, perfecting your Soft or Hard Boiled Egg{Wanderings in My Kitchen} is a must. You can make a batch ahead of time and keep them in your fridge for a quick bite. I love this recipe because it shows exactly how many minutes for a delicious soft boiled egg or for the perfect hard boiled egg, no matter what your preference is. They’re my absolute favorite with a sprinkling of some Lawry’s Seasoning Salt on top!

Get your caffeine and protein in one by leveling up your smoothie with protein powder and frozen coffee! Turn on the blender and mix up this Coffee Protein Smoothie{Diethood} for a cool breakfast drink. This smoothie is packed with protein —you’ll be surprised at how filling it really is. I’ve made it my go-to choice for breakfast since there’s no prep involved!

Protein bites are my favorite way to get nutrients fast in the morning, and Jessica’s pancake twist is irresistible. Make these Berry Pancake Protein Bites{Butter with a Side of Bread} for an easy and delicious burst of energy in your morning!

You’ll want to wake up early just to dig into these easy overnight oats. This Quick and Easy Peanut Butter Overnight Oatmeal{Baking You Happier} is a delicious high protein oatmeal recipe, plus it saves you from having to boil oats in the morning. Make it with PB2 Peanut Powder for all the peanut buttery goodness without all the calories.

Who has time to bake pancakes during the week? Good news: you can make these 4-Ingredient Protein Pancakes{Skinny Ms} ahead of time and stick them in the freezer. When you need them, zap them in the microwave for 30-60 seconds for a quick and healthy protein breakfast that feels fancy!

Avocado toast is all the rage for a good reason. Hummus Avocado Toast{Eating Bird Food} gets topped with red onion, cilantro, and hemp seeds for a healthy, high protein, low-calorie breakfast. Use store-bought hummus to save major time.

Meatballs for breakfast? Sounds weird, tastes amazing! These Blueberry Sweet Potato Breakfast Meatballs{Fed and Fit} are full of healthy carbs, protein, and greens —I’d call that a win! Plus, they’re super easy to grab on the go.

Make these on Sunday and enjoy them all week long. Peanut Butter Banana Protein Baked Oatmeal Bars{Nutrition Starring You} deliver fiber and protein in a delicious package.

These Latte Overnight Oats with Greek Yogurt{Food Faith Fitness} have only 5 ingredients and combine protein-packed yogurt and oats for the ultimate healthy protein breakfast.

This Pumpkin Oatmeal Bake {Peanut Butter and Fitness} has a whopping 15 grams protein per piece! It’s perfect for chilly mornings and can feed the whole family.

These Greek Yogurt Oat Mango Muffins{Hello Veggie} are an unexpected twist on your typical muffin. They’re the best protein breakfast for when you’re tired of the usual suspects.

Shake up your everyday egg muffin recipe with a Variety of Egg Muffin Cup Recipes{Life Made Sweeter}. The sky’s the limit with these, so your protein egg breakfasts will never get boring.

No, you’re not dreaming. Cookies for breakfast are a thing! These Blueberry Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies{The Tolerant Tummy} have protein-packed ingredients like oats, bananas and nut butter, so it’s a healthy protein breakfast in disguise.

I make this Cinnamon Apple Smoothie{The Gracious Pantry} a few days a week. I tweak it by throwing in half a Granny Smith apple, a good amount of spinach, and a scoop of Vanilla Milkshake Protein Powder(this is a MUST!)

Another smoothie I love for mornings is this Chocolate Mint Protein Shake{Nutritionist Reviews}. When I’m cutting back on extra sugar, I leave out the banana. If you don’t have fresh mint on hand, Peppermint Extractworks in a pinch!

Move over, boring muffins —these Mixed Berry Oatmeal Muffins{Peanut Butter and Fitness} have 12 grams of protein per muffin, are gluten-free and dairy-free, and are as delicious as they are wholesome!

These 10-minute Smoked Salmon, Spinach and Egg White Wraps{Haute and Healthy Living} take a healthy protein breakfast to a whole new level.

By working more high protein breakfast foods into your diet, you’ll start to see some amazing changes happening. I love having more energy, a clearer mind, and feeling just the right amount of full when I start my days. With 5 kids, it’s totally necessary!

Gold Spray Paint Improvement – Upcycled Serving Tray

March 23, 2021 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Home Improvement, Instagram, Online Shopping, Pinterest, Social Media

Do you have five dollars? Do you have five minutes? Make a list of all the products in your home you don’t use because they are the wrong color! Take a look at my upcycled serving tray and gold spray paint improvement.

Since we moved, there are a lot of things that have come out of hiding. For about six years, after our move from Florida to Virginia, many of my glassware and china sat in boxes. Since we have found, what hopefully is, our forever home, I have begun the process of unpacking some of our breakable home décor. One of the pieces that came out of hiding was this glass and iron serving tray.

While this serving tray is beautiful, it was a gift and I never bought it with the intention have having the “perfect place.” Since often keys or drinks are place on this foyer console table, I decided to place it below our faux floral arrangement. It would protect the table but also give added detail to our cherry blossoms and chinoiserie vase.

It did it’s job. We were able to quickly lay items down but the black iron against the blue console table wasn’t working.

I began to research gold spray paint colors.

Best Gold Spray Paint

I used this chart to find the best gold spray paint color for our home.

Anika does a really good job of showing you close pictures of spray painted terracotta pots so you can compare the different hues of gold spray paint. From her gold spray paint review, I settled with the best gold spray paint color for the tray – Rust-Oleum Spray Paint in Metallic Gold for a rich, super glossy metallic finish.

Upcycled Serving Tray

On a Saturday morning, like I always do, I got up with the mission to finish this home décor project. My husband asked me, while I was walking down the stairs, if we could hold off on home projects until we ate breakfast. I bit my lip because I was really excited about this easy serving tray DIY project. I knew it would take me five minutes and the spray paint had been sitting on my kitchen counter for a few weeks.

This upcycled serving tray project was really easy. In my case there was a glass layer that had to be removed. I took out the glass and clear rubber bumpers (between the glass and metal.)

I recycled a cardboard box to become the barrier between the deck and my gold spray painting work. I sprayed one side of the tray and let it sit for about 3 hours in the sun.

I flipped the tray and did the back and also let it sit for a number of hours. Only one gold spray paint coat was necessary, but looking at the piece I wish I had done a second.

This is the finished Upcycled Serving Tray that I almost sent to Goodwill a number of times. Doesn’t it look so much better and best of all it was a low-cost home improvement projects, only $5!

Want to know more about my faux cherry blossoms? I ordered a few to decide the Best Cherry Blossoms Branches out there!

Spray Painting Tip: If you have a larger spray painting job, I recommend picking up this Spray Paint Comfort Grip. My job took under 5 minutes so I did not find it necessary to use on this project. I do have one for other projects I have done in the past.
