My husband and I love a good loaf of fresh bread and whenever we buy we savor the first few slices right after purchase and end up freezing it within a day or two. I use a double freezer bread and have it pre-sliced. Freezing is better for heartier loaves like a whole wheat or multigrain vs something like a baquette.
This method works best for sandwiches, toast, french toast or croutons. If it's not gone within a month, it's unfortunately history.
Our eyes are usually bigger than our freezer because whenever we pass the bakery, whether we need or not, we can't resist buying another loaf!

I follow the same route as the author. Dress each ingredient separate with lettuce last. Definitely worth the extra effort flavor-wise.

I have a Moen brushed stainless Single-Handle Faucet with a separate sprayer. We love it, easy to use and clean. Good water pressure. I'm happy with the purchase.

I purchased a High-Definition Laminate by Wilson for my counter and island in order to stay within my budget. The color/design choices are great and you really can't tell the difference from granite or quartz. Plus they are extremely easy to clean.

During evenings when I have to cook for myself nothing is simpler or easier than a baked sweet potato w/ a pat of cinnamon butter and some steamed or sauteed veggies on the side.

I hate a cluttered kitchen. I just tend to keep what I use the most on the counters: cutting board, knives, Cooking utensil container, coffee-maker and tea pot. The most visual enticing object that should be a MUST in everyone's kitchen is a pretty bowl filled w/ fresh fruit or citrus or a vase w/ real or artificial flowers on the window sill. Just so inviting!

I mix equal amounts of ground flaxseeds with chia, add some powdered vanilla, shake and use a spoon on my yogurt every evening!
