1. 1

   I baked for years before kids both by hand and with my kitchenaid. But I stopped after my second child was born - no sense of time, no tolerance for extra mess. Now I'm lazy and have two small kids and a very large dog, so I have given up on making bread outside the abm. However, I've managed to stop buying bread at all by getting pounds and pounds of flour at a time from good old king arthur and when the delivery arrives, dh gets to be in charge of the kids while I package it all up as bread mixes. I select 4 or 5 recipes, and make between 3-5 of each into mixes, including the name on the outside, and a small slip of paper inside with what still needs to be added [usually just liquid and yeast] Those with cheese etc go in the freezer, the rest are stored in the cabinet. Another big help is that I learned I could substitute 1 T water plus 1 T soy flour for each egg in the recipe - I can't detect a difference in the finished bread although someone here might be able to, but I use it in most of our breads and no one here is unhappy :). I will say that it makes a big difference in cookies, although it's still very good. I find they come out crisper and with a slightly nutty flavor - my mom likes it so much better she only eats cookies made that way now. So now I don't have to worry about eggs in the mix and can use my timer setting without issues and wake up to fresh bread.
