WHY I BOUGHT A BREADMAKER AND THE REASON YOU SHOULD TOO!
I purchased a bread maker machine for my home for a variety of reasons. I wanted to remove some of the less healthy components and preservatives from my family’s diet because my wife and I and our three children are all bread, dough, and baked goods lovers and we always have a few items from the bakery department on hand as well as 2 or 3 loaves of bread but there just always seemed to be that processed flavor. I figured it only made sense to test and see if we could create some of these delicious goods ourselves.

Buckwheat Pancakes, Biscuits, and Our Hippocampus
I come from a family of eaters. Not the typical you-need-to-eat-for-sustenance variety of eaters, though sustenance — "Did you get enough? Eat more, or you'll be hungry later!" — was always reason enough to eat. My family is more of the eat-to-celebrate-your-very-existence variety. We'll eat for any occasion, large and small, or no occasion at all.
