Nancy's Homemade Bread
Nancy has been making bread for 40+ years to give away to people who needed encouragement, were sick, were friends/family, or just needed a meal. Nancy's smile was warmer than her bread and with each loaf came the love of Christ.
Nancy is my mom. Every Monday for as long as I can remember she can be found making her bread. When I was in school the smell of fresh bread met me at the end of the driveway and we all knew there was a hot slice waiting for us inside. Many years, and 2 generations later, my kids (and the other grand-kids) and her great-grand-kids who make that same trek are still welcomed by the lingering smell of fresh bread to receive her unbelievable love wrapped in a buttery loaf.
Enjoy this recipe and be sure to give a loaf away to continue the love of my amazing mother.
