Cinnamon Swirls for a dear friend!
I made these for a dear DEAR friend who was allowing three of us to invade her home for four straight days!! She and her husband were so gracious to allow us there!
They are easy and fun to make…..
Just a variation of my practically "Fool Proof Whole Wheat Bread" Recipe… here
Just add 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 2 more TBS organic sugar to the dough – be sure the oil is not a strong olive oil…I like coconut or canola. Then make as usual in bread machine.
Before shaping…melt 3/4 stick of butter then remove from heat. Add 1/4 C pecans, 1/4 C brown sugar (or sucanat) and 1/4 C organic sugar and 2 TBS fresh milled flour. Mix.
Roll dough out in a rectangle. Spread goo on all but about the last two inches of the horizontal (longest) side…this is your end.
Roll in upon itself until you come to the 'dry' two inches. Pinch and seal. Slice and place in a greased pan. Rise 30 mins. Bake on 350 for 15-18 minutes.
Then just enJOY!
New Fat Free Whole Grain Recipe
The next set of recipes in the series of whole grain recipes is going to focus on low to fat free recipes. In the oven – right NOW is the last 'tweak' I've made to a tasty granola!
Newsletter due out this week with this recipe!!
Play with your food. Break some rules!
We can search the web, go get a million recipe books, follow around a world class chef and huddle on to Mama's apron strings but one thing that will remain a rule in baking and cooking is: Break some rules! Play with your food!
Play with your food!
Sure there are some hard and fast ones like: Yeast breads need yeast. Too much salt is pretty gross. But for many 'rules' there are acceptations.
Take things like altitude and humidity into consideration. A loaf of bread baked at 3500 feet above sea level will not be the same as one baked AT sea level. Tweak a recipe.
Most recipes are written for sea level and adjusted for differing altitudes. Don't let that keep you in a box though, break out of the rules of recipes and tweak. Just keep good notes (that's my downfall, I often play but forget what I did when it worked!).
Have fun. Learn by playing with your food.
Just be prepared to be VERY creative if it doesn't work out and not waste it by tossing it in the trash.
Best Blessings and enJOY learning more!

Make ahead whole grain muffins
If your mornings are as rushed as ours are, there is a way to make a great warm, wholesome, whole grain breakfast without the long prep time. You can even use your own recipe!
First simply substitute the flour in your recipe for 100% freshly milled flour. It's whole grain and provides all the nutrients intended in the grain.
Now, get your recipe, a zip lock bag, a measuring cup or bowl with a lid.
In the zip lock bag, put all your dry ingredients and shake.
In the bowl/covered measuring cup, put all your wet/moist ingredients and mix.
Pop both into the refrigerator and in the morning, combine just until moist.
Place in greased muffin tins in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes!
Tah-Dah! Fast food that's good for you!
- What’s Wrong with a Typical Storage Food List?I got an email the other day from a loving and well meaning friend who was sharing how to buy storage food cheaply over time. It was a wonderful gesture and right in line with the need to prepare. Honestly, though, it got me thinking and wondering what’s wrong with the typical food storage list. […]
- Water, water everywhere nor any a drop to drink.This line from the poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner rings more true when thinking of surviving difficult times. As we’ve stated before in at least one email that has gone out to everyone who subscribes, water is more VITAL than food when surviving is the issue. A human body can last at least […]
- Learning Survival Skills, Techniques and PlanningAlthough I would not classify what our family does as being ‘Survivalists’, we do factor that portion of planning and preparing into our ‘Prepping’ lifestyle. The skills, tools, techniques and planning it takes to survive in difficult times have been lost due to the over abundance of conveniences. Even if you don’t plan on ‘roughing […]
- Long-Term Workable Pantry TOOLS.It all sounds nice and good to say ‘Build a Long-Term Workable Pantry” but if you don’t know where to get the tools to do so, it can be a bit frustrating. Our hope is to give you some realistic options to choose from. We’ve touched on how to go about it and some steps […]
