Enjoy some bread this week, acknowledging God’s provision for each of us.
Do you have a favorite bakery or coffee shop? Find some time to visit and be thankful while you enjoy a yeasty treat. Do you enjoy baking bread of your own when you have the time? Bake some, and enjoy the beautiful scent that fills the house.
When I am too busy to make traditional yeast bread (most of the time!), I enjoy making quick breads like these muffins.
