Holly’s Challah Bread – Easier then you can imagine!

Disclosure: This post includes affiliate links. Thanks for supporting RedBerrydeals.com. I've been making this Bread as a tradition in our family since 2004. Yes! 10 years! I'm feeling old typing that. It was shortly after I got "my" bread machine. This recipe came from my bread machine cookbook and I have adjusted it so it works for me. I'm happy to share this with everyone! This is the best bread! I like to make a large loaf as you can see from the picture above.

Update to Redberrydeals!

general, Uncategorized

Hi to all of my readers. Welcome to 2013! I have mentioned this in previous posts this last year and I thought I would get into more detail. 2012 was a great year for us. Watching our kids grow has been so rewarding. My husband and I have decided to create a company. I'm very excited. It will include several components to it including Redberrydeals and my passion for sewing and embroidery. I'm in the process of following the proper business creation procedures. I've been so busy with it that I've neglected adding the Shoppers Matchups each week. The time that took to prepare and post is more time then I have right now. I will no longer add those matchups. I've decided to limit my posts to Redberrydeals this…

Spring Into Organization 2012: Laundry Room

general, Organization 2012, Uncategorized

After reading and admiring so many awesome laundry room posts I had to jump in and organize my laundry room. Here are some before pictures. Yes, there is dirty laundry on the floor and clean laundry hanging up. We are human! Our house was built in 1980 and surprisingly they designed the house with some features we see in houses today like the laundry room on the second floor and 5 walk-in closets. Isn't that unheard of for that year? Be jealous! This house has lots of storage which is a great! I'm so fortunate! However, it can be a bad thing. Good thing because I can get organized, but it has been a bad thing because I haven't the rooms and closets are messy and disorganized. Now it is…

We heat our house with a Pellet Stove and we save $100s each year.

general, Home, Living Frugal, Uncategorized

I can't believe it is Spring 2012. This winter has been a very mild winter for the Northern Virginia area. Last year was a different story. I want to mention that we use a Pellet Stove to heat our house. Have you heard of a Pellet Stove? Not many people I talk to have heard of it especially around this area of the country. They are very popular in the Northeast or Northwest. A pellet stove is a very efficient stove. It produces a constant dry heat. It is environmentally clean by burning small hardwood pellets completely and creating a very fine ash. The emissions are basically non existent because the smoke is very little that comes out of the chimney. It uses hardwood saw dust which is a renewable…
