Generally not unless the meal is a sandwich. Like tonight I had ziti
with sausage and homemade sauce... the pasta was more than enough
carbs, and in fact I couldn't finish my entire plateful so into the
fridge for tomorrow... had I had bread the sausage would have been
enough without the pasta.

Anyway, if that KA works and is in good condition appearance-wise then
it'd be hard to pass up at that price... the bowl alone costs about
$45. Your bread machine can be used to knead dough and then you can
bake it freeform. But you may find other things where you can use a
small stand mixer. Also if you have the room, it'd be silly to devote
valuable counter space for something you'd rarely use, if ever.
