<\/p>\n

As you probably know by now, my kitchen is outfitted with mostly thrift store and estate sale finds. I don’t just put finds away in a cupboard. I actually use them often in my kitchen to prepare meals. So I thought I’d show you how I used some recent finds.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

This meal started with a bread maker.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Bread Maker was at an SOS Thrift Store in my area and had only been used a few times. It was spotless, had the directions, and all in the original packaging. For about $6.00 I didn’t even have to think about it. We use the bread maker a lot to make our own breads. It’s fresher, has less preservatives and makes the house smell great. Also, very easy to use.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The next finds were the red mixing bowl (I love mixing bowls), the French Baguette Pan and the bread making cookbook. All found at local thrift stores.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

So with all the necessary kitchen items, the bread making began. It was really easy and quite fun. For this recipe I mixed everything in the bread machine and set it on the French Bread Dough setting. When the setting was finished I removed the dough from the bread machine and placed it in the red bowl that I had sprayed with oil. I made sure that all of the dough was covered in oil and placed a damp towel over the bowl to let the dough rise. After one rising I cut the dough in half and shaped each half into a baguette.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One of the baguettes went into the baguette pan. You can see that loaf on the left next to the pan. The other baguette went onto a cookie sheet. After an additional rising, the loaves were baked and came out great. I am now looking for another baguette pan.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

When the bread was ready. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I used my newly acquired Fondu Pot — Brand new at the thrift store and under $5.00 with all the attachments — and made a cheese fondu.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Fondu was absolutely delicious and we really enjoyed eating it with our own homemade French Baguettes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So there you are — a meal using only thrifted kitchen items. Hope you’re able to find some great kitchen items on your next trip to the thrift store.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
