It's Thanksgiving time!  That means it's time for turkey, stuffing, and some yummy baked goods.  Whether you are spending the holiday season at home or abroad, we hope it will be a wonderful one for all of you.

Just like many other Saturdays, we had another great day at Basic Living.  One of the many things that made today great at Basic Living was Mechele's delicious Wholewheat Cinnamon Bread.  Drizzled with a little frosting, this bread filled the store with warm fall scent of cinnamon.  For those of you who missed out, here is the recipe so you can enjoy it too.

How to Make Bread with the Bosch Universal Plus Mixer

     Here at Basic Living, we carry a wide variety of products to help our customers in your kitchen along with other self reliance needs.  As we interact with our customers, we pay close attention to what people are looking for.  As a result, we add to our line of products each year anything that might be of value to our customers.  It has been a joy for us to try to meet our customers' needs by introducing them to new and amazing products that will empower them in their homes.
     It's probably not right for us to have favorites when it comes to products we sell at the store.  Perhaps it's almost as bad as having a favorite among your own kids.  However, if we were to point something out as an all-time favorite, it would be the Bosch Universal Plus Kitchen Machine (you didn't hear this from me, don't tell my boss).  Boasting a 6 1/2 quart bowl, which can hold up to 15 lbs of bowl, the Bosch has no problem kneading all that dough thanks to its powerful 800 watt motor under the hood.  As the years went on, Bosch has made small improvements here and there which drastically improved the user experience.  One of the newer features is the bowl scraper, which scrapes the dough off of the sides of the bowl to provide a more complete kneading action.  They say a picture is worth a thousand words.  See for your self.


The Bosch also enjoys the patented dough-hooks that kneads bread dough very effectively.  The new models also have small rubber suction cup-like pieces on the bottom to keep the machine from walking off the kitchen counter.  The list goes on.  There are hundreds of reasons why the Bosch has been one of the most popular items sold in our store.  The biggest reason is that the Bosch was designed and built for you and me.  They have done such a great job in making improvements to tailer fit the Bosch to meet our needs.

Dark Rye Breat Recipe

One of the great things about visiting the Basic Living store is that more often than not, there are samples.  If you walk into the store and smell something delicious, that's usually because something is in the oven.  Here is one of those samples that we gave out to customers as they came by (not the whole thing, obviously :D) a few weeks ago.  In our new location, we have a very nice kitchen in the back that allows us to use some of the items we sell to make delicious things.  This also gives us experience and knowledge concerning the products we sell.  This Dark Rye Bread was made using our favorite product, the Bosch Universal Kitchen Machine.  

And those of you who didn't get to come by the store and try this yummy bread, we have the recipe for you!!!
