Well it’s been quite eventful here the last few days and I apologize for not posting in the last week. It’s kinda hard, no… impossible really, to blog when you can’t even sit at your computer.

Homemade Sour Cream Bread

I have to say that I absolutely love the scent of fresh baked bread. There is nothing better than walking into a house with the aroma of homemade baked bread in the air.

That was until I came across this really simple sour cream bread recipe.
