Happy National Homemade Bread Day!

Some great ways to celebrate National Homemade Bread Day:

• Make some bread!
• Visit one of Denver's many wonderful bakeries! Buffalo Doughboy is one of my personal favorites. What's yours?
• Feed bread to ducks in the park!
• Learn about breads from all over the world! Naan, pita, baguettes, and fry bread are all delicious types of bread!
