New Years Resolution: Bread Baking

My goal this year is to make 95% of our bread at home.  I want to leave a little wiggle room to buy some things I don’t know how to make or when its just been to busy a week to make bread.  I do have a bread machine that I use to make my dough but I just got a kitchen aid mixer for Christmas so I am excited to branch out in my bread making.  If anyone has any sourdough making tips please let me know!  I have the starter but I have yet to get the texture of the bread quite right! 

I have more goals but they will have to wait for a future post.  Right now I am working on greening up my kids birthday party (reducing waste form party supplies, etc.).  Any tips on doing this on a budget would be appreciated!
