I want to thank EVERYONE who leaves a comment in our recipe comment sections!! Beginners learn a lot from your tips & recipe variations. Below are some of our recent noteworthy visitor comments.

  • Lauren listed a ton of useful lessons learned when making my Bread Machine Banana Bread. Please see the comment section on that page to read Lauren’s five helpful tips – “I’ve made this recipe twice and want to share my errors from the first time around so others don’t make the same mistakes!…These are all tips that are already written in the recipe, but because the recipe is so full of info, I missed some of it. Best banana bread I’ve ever had! Great recipe!“
  • Martha (who always has great suggestions!) posted a couple of nice sandwich ideas for my High Fiber Bread Recipe – “I am about to make my second loaf of this wonderful bread. This time I’m going to try your suggestion of replacing 1/4c of the flax with multi-grain cereal since I’m all about the healthy eating. This bread is a hearty, yet softer wheat bread. It’s perfect for a garden fresh tomato sandwich, or a BLT. Thanks for another winner, Breaddad!“
  • Micaela posted a wonderful comment & discussed how my Flour Tortilla Recipe allows people to skip using lard – “Thank you for your flour tortilla recipe. I’m 75 young and for 70 of those years I have never used anything but lard. Today I used your recipe and was so happy I did. Followed it to the T. Wonderful taste and so very soft. Will never by lard again. So easy and delicious. If I could I would give you 10 stars! So deserving“
  • Ashe left a very nice note about my Eggless Banana Bread Recipe – “I can’t believe how good my bread came out! The texture is the most complex I’ve ever had making banana bread — it’s moist and spongey with a delicately crisp crust. The flavor is slightly more mellow than with an egg-based recipe, but I think that’s lovely, too. Sometimes you want a flavor explosion and other times you need something mildly sweet. Both variations have their strengths, so I’m thrilled to know I can still make my favorite treat without eggs.“
  • Gaye made a fantastic pepperoni & cheese version of my Bread Machine Cheese Bread – “I made this recipe with additions and it turned out so good. So good I made sure to write them down to keep for the future. I added 1/2 of a chopped onion,sauteed. Sautéed chopped pepperoni slices, a heaping t. of Italian Seasoning, & chopped olives.“
