The most important part of Valentine’s Day is not the chocolates, flowers or diamonds; it is being together with the one(s) you love. You don’t even have to make an elaborate meal! I am not a fan of wine, but I LOVE homemade bread. You don’t have to knead the dough if you have a bread maker.

Bread Maker Homemade Bread

1 c. Warm Water

1 Tbsp. Non-fat Dry Milk Powder
