COME SAY HI

This mornings bread. A new ambient loaf recipe I

This mornings bread.
A new ambient loaf recipe I came up with. @flourist einkorn flour plus some barley and some APF for the dough.
And then filled with jalapeño havarti cheese, olives and fresh sage.
It’s fun to get back into recipe developing again.

One of the best gifts my mom gave me was the abili

One of the best gifts my mom gave me was the ability to make things from scratch. Even when I need to go to the grocery store because we’re out of a lot of stuff, I can take flour, eggs, salt and oil and turn it into pasta. Or a whole variety of breads or buns.
It is definitely a gift that she handed down. And it’s been on my mind lately, how grateful I am for the work on her end to make it so I had the skills to try things and the courage to actually do it.
Thinking on this helps me remember why we go through the effort of helping and teaching our kids. Even when it’s harder on us than them. Even when it makes things longer and more work.
In the end, we’re trying to raise good humans. It’s Divine work. Which is hard but the most important. It’s all homemaking. ❤️

Have you ever tried making homemade pasta?? I’m totally going to make some ravioli soon and some lasagna too.

I needed this. Open space.
Fresh air. Pushing my body to work hard.
After this mornings Waterton photo session I hiked Bear hump alone. It was really great to just be alone in nature.
Being out where I can see nature has always been a big strength to my testimony of Him.
I see it and feel known and seen. I can’t explain it fully. But it fills me up.
Just what I needed.

I had multiple requests to see how the boxes went

I had multiple requests to see how the boxes went together that I did this weekend for the women’s conference so here it is as a little stop motion of me putting one together and then a photograph of it. These are easily adaptable to whatever you have around.
And it is an easy way to serve whole bunch of people still have it separate for each person. Just pick up some food boxes (I found these at Canadian wholesale if you’re in Canada.)
I made the small mini baguettes/ French breads. But you could also do slices of bread, crostini’s or just more varieties of crackers.
I know I wanted to add something sweet so I made my classic chocolate chip cookie recipe but I made the mini and then I also did a double chocolate M&M cookie mini as well. I mean who doesn’t want a little treat I sure do!

Alden was doing some service at an older ladies ho

Alden was doing some service at an older ladies home and she fed him these cookies. He hasn’t stopped talking about them since.
So naturally I had to phone and get the recipe. She told me it is a very old recipe and that he and his two friends he took to help her each ate half a dozen. 😂

Cowboy cookies
2 cups shortening
2 cups white sugar
2 cups brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
4 eggs
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
4 cups flour
1 tsp salt
3 cups oatmeal
2 cups coconut
2 packages butterscotch chips
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Cream shortening and both sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well.
2. Add dry ingredients (except the chips). Mix to combine. Add in butterscotch chips and mix just until combined.
3. Scoop cookies onto parchment lined cookie sheets. Bake for 8 minutes.
