Raisin Bread made EASY in a Bread Machine - 52 Appetizer Recipes

Here's a fun one...

Thanks to a quirk of fate, my almost 2 year old great nephew and his mother my average niece live with us.

It takes a bit of adjustment, but the new additions are starting to become a real part of my family and routines.  Even adding a few new routines, such as bread making.


The little gem loves to watch me make bread.  We measure (bigger than, less than), we count numbers of cups of flour; but really he just loves to watch the machine run during the first couple of minutes of mixing.

Raisin bread has become his favorite, so I love to make this with him.

And like I said... Bread machine easy and delicious.  Much better than the store bought...

And yes, in my house, this loaf does have a little extra love mixed in!

Raisin Bread... Remy Approved!!!
