Bread—the Place to Start Electrolux Assistent Mixer by Verona
It is amazing how stressful life can get when you are "out of bread" . . . . right?! You can make fabulous whole wheat bread in less time than a grocery shopping trip. The Swedish made Electrolux brand mixer is the finest bread mixer on the market—I love mine! It is so sturdy that it seems indestructible! I have never had one smidgen of trouble with it in 20 years. This is a lifetime investment that will pay you back easily in 6 months of delicious home baked bread and baked goods that build health, save you money and keep all those preservatives and additives out of your diet. Use for small amounts, or large: you can whip out several loaves quickly as this incredible mixer makes 15 lbs. of dough that is smooth and elastic for the perfect bread texture.
The "Verona" is the newest version of the Electrolux Assistent DLX Mixer/ Magic Mill Mixer. The Verona Mixer includes a unique "roller and scraper" (my favorite tool for bread making), a dough hook, plastic bowl and double beater whisks, along with the heavy-duty extra large 8 quart stainless steel bowl. The bowl is large enough to hold 7 lbs. of flour (28 cups). That's a lot of bread!
It takes 5 min. to dump in the ingredients and when the kneading is done, the machine clicks itself off, which means you can get it started and walk away! It isn't too hard for a 8-year-old to be the family bread maker. The one big problem I have encountered is trying to keep all that delicious home baked bread from being eaten up around here! (Are we out already!?)

Here's the real ticket to "fast food" without guilt—it is even faster than a microwave for some foods. I don't know how I'd get along without my pressure cooker! This is a one-time investment that will last your entire cooking career. Cook healthy, flavorful meals in one tenth of the time, saving time, energy and fuel costs! You'll save 70% of the energy normally used on cooking a meal, plus keep your house cooler in the summer or use less fuel in case of emergency. You can also save money by purchasing less tender cuts of meat, as pressure cooking tenderizes meats, as well as preserving flavors and nutrients. This 4 quart size is ideal for daily use, as it is large enough to make potatoes for a family of 8, or cook up a batch of chili. This is top quality stainless steel from the presto company with a special bi-metal base to ensure even heating. Comes with a 64 page instruction and recipe book. Includes special round rack for cooking several foods at once without intermingling flavors. 12 year warranty. An investment well worth making! Rated #1 by the American Culinary Institute!
Note: I do not recommend the cheaper aluminum pressure cookers. Aluminum is not safe to cook in, especially with acidic foods such as tomato based soup or chili, as it leaches aluminum into the food. Choose stainless steel for excellent health and a very quality, top-performing pressure cooker.
Drying is one of the very best ways to store food, retaining high nutrition and taking little space to store. I find it so convenient to cook with dried foods, too. I keep them in canisters on my counter, and use them when I am in a hurry. Just adding a handful of dried carrots and onions to soup, sauces or cooking rice is a simple way to add good nutrition without the time it takes to chop raw veggies. Plus, I am never out of "fresh produce" even if I don't have carrots in my fridge.
I've looked at the dehydrators on the market, and this is my first choice. Click here to read more about this dehydrators great features!
I'd like to share a great idea a friend suggested! Do you have a garden-full of tomatoes and would like a compact, nutritious way to store them? Try making "V8 Powder" (see http://www.homeschooling.net/blog/recipe/dry-tomatoes/). Using a food dryer, you can dry and powder your tomato slices and garden greens (kale, collards, parsley, beet greens, swiss chard) plus any other veggies you have plenty of—such as carrots, onions and more—to add nutrition and flavor to soups, stews, and casseroles!
You can expand your food dehydrator all the way up to 12 trays at time as the drying pressure automatically adjusts to the number of trays. Make your own dried foods at a fraction of the cost of store-bought dried food! Pack includes 2 trays.
These fruit roll sheets go along with the food dehydrator to make fruit leather and rolls. It is fun and easy to make fruit roll sheets at home! Each fruit roll sheet is placed onto a regular drying rack in your dehydrator. Contains 2 add-on fruit roll sheets.
