What's For Dinner?

[Kathryn41 3,205]

Marilyn,

Have you ever made this bread completely in the bread machine instead of taking it out and baking it in the oven? I use my bread machine regularly but I generally bake it in the machine as well.

[Marilyn. 340]

no, I haven't... but only because the bread cycle on my machine is too long and tends to over cook the bread ....

I think the bread seems to come out more fluffier and stuff if you bake it in the oven...

When we move in to a house i'm definately buying a bread machine.

We had steak and shake last night, I had a burger and salad, it was good. Not sure what's for dinner tonight.

The meat I used in the stir fry the other night was so good, however, I had put the meat in bags and then in the freezer, so I have no idea which steak it was that I bought

i love the bread machine....... growing up I saw how much "fun" my mom had with all the kneading and the rising and stuff

I usually only make dough in the machine because like i said my machine's bread cycle is too long.. but it is easy.. once the dough is done you just kind of just shape it and throw it in a pan and let it rise and then bake it in the oven...

My mom tried baking her bread in the machine a couple of times, but we didn't like the consistency of it compared to baking the loaf in an oven. So she is like you, Marilyn, she lets the machine do all the kneading and bakes it in the oven. We made some whole wheat/seed bread while I was home in April that was delish!

Hmmm I'd love to get a bread machine although I have heard the same thing that the bread machine bread's consistency is different from the oven ones.....

Dinner tonight is Chicken Chili....slow cooker with black beans, corn, chicken breast, ground cumin, 2 jars of salsa verde. Adding chopped cilantro close to the end.

yeah that is true but like i said you can just make the dough in the machine and finish it off in the oven... the machine saves you from all the kneading and making sure the ingredients are the right temperature and stuff.. you can just throw everything in there and forget about it

I'll have to recommend our bread machine model then - Breadman's Ultimate by Salton, Inc. - it does a great job of baking and the texture is wonderful - light when it is a white bread and even and dense when it is a heavier whole grain. I just love it! It has settings for crust control as well, whether you want it lighter or darker - and you can add in your own customized settings if you don't want something to bake as long or you have a preference with a certain recipe. They may well have newer models now - we have had ours for 3 years. We read all of the reviews and checked some out in person before we decided on this one and have never regretted the decision.

Tonight is Steak on the BBQ and fries. Maybe a veggie and maybe not.

[Kathryn41 3,205]

Pork roast, noodles, spinach and asparagus:-) Was going to do mashed potatoes but I am tired of potatoes so noodles will do instead.

[Marilyn. 340]

going to have chicken (maybe bbq'd if hubby will do it) and stir-fried rice and noodles with vegies..

I'm whipping Hamburger Helper tonight -- not exactly haute cuisine, but will do in a pinch.

We had fish & chips! Yay! Finally! It was soooo good to have some proper fish & chips again. They have not a clue how to make them in the US. Oh.... and with malt vinegar and salt, Warlord.
