Farmers Cheese

Farmers Cheese

The Idea As I have mentioned several times before, my husband and I use to homestead. I write about it here if you would like to take a look: Homesteading Our Journey I wish I would have tried making cheese back then. The one thing my husband and I tried to make was homemade butter. We used heavy cream and had to shake it in a mason jar for a long time. It really did not taste bad, I just did not realize I needed to allow it to drain through cheese-cloth like this cheese. The Idea about making this cheese came to me the other day. I am the worst trying to figure out what to eat during the hot summer months. I just know I want it simple and easy without having to use the stove a lot. I caught the tail end of a cooking show on Food Network and the cook was making cheese. So I went online to try and find a recipe. Read more at whiteoak.hubpages.com

Kitchen Witch

Exactly, what is a Kitchen Witch?

A Kitchen Witch: is a woman who has placed magick in every aspect of her home, her hearth. She is the Keeper of the Home who ensures it is safe, cleaned of negative energies and it is nurtured on all levels. I choose to post this description because it best describes me and my experiences. In a sense I am more like a Hedge-witch. A Kitchen Witch puts so much energy in her home that most of the time the kitchen becomes the Heart of the Home. I have had people gather in my home and most of the time we gather in the kitchen. We will share a wonderful herbal tea and a cake filled with magickal energy, or a beautiful spring salad with all of the trimmings. We will sit and talk and share so much that time actually fly's away. Read more at www.squidoo.com

Chocolate Dippers

Okay, that is taking it a little overboard, but you get what I mean. I LOVE chocolate!! This is lens 2 of 30 for the challenge I am doing. I know the niche of dipping things into chocolate has been covered and I will post some of those links, but I had to write this page. Do you want to know why? When I was a teenager I had a few different jobs at once (three to be exact) and on the occasion when I could get a day off I would take a little bit of one of my paychecks and go downtown; at that time I was living in Colorado Springs. Even being that young I knew how important it was to treat yourself once in a while, this is how I treated myself: I would go to the Goodwill store and see if they had any ripped jeans that fit me, I would buy them and patch them up. (Yes, my hippie days) Than I would get me some chocolate covered popcorn from a vendor wagon. This was a HUGE treat for me. Nowadays, you see chocolate popcorn everywhere, but not back then. Since I am known for liking different food combinations, I thought I would share of my favorite things dipped in chocolate. Read more at www.squidoo.com

One Recipe Several Breads

Since I have to watch my sodium intake, most of my recipes do not contain salt, and I also use No Sodium Baking Powder and Baking Soda that I purchase online at Healthy Heart. With that being said, any of the recipes I have posted can have salt added to the recipe if you would like. http://amplify.com/u/a16h1s

Carrot Apple Cupcakes

Semi-Healthy Cupcakes

am not sure there will ever be a cupcake that can be considered 100% healthy, but that does not stop me from trying. I have a great recipe for a breakfast bread and although it is suppose to be healthy, I still have to alter it because of my sodium intake. So I took a few ingredients from that recipe and created a healthier version cupcake! Instead of using frosting for the top of these cupcakes we are just going to sprinkle the top with powder sugar. However a fantastic frosting would be Cream Cheese Frosting or Butter Cream Frosting! So lets start with the ingredients and get these cupcakes cooking! Read more at www.squidoo.com

Cooking for Geeks Cookbook

Cooking for Geeks Cookbook-3

Chapter Five Review and Pumpkin Cake

Cooking for Geeks by: Jeff Potter This is a fantastic cookbook that is really considered more than just a cookbook but also a learning tool. I really enjoyed how Mr. Potter went into an explanation about leaveners not only with a scientific approach but also in plain English. I cannot speak for everybody but one of the most important things to me when reading books is how the book is written. I enjoy reading books that seem like the Author is sitting there telling you a story. Through their written words it more like having a conversation with the readers. This is one reason I really enjoyed this book. Cooking for Geeks is actually a book that could be used as a good learning tool for older children who are just beginning to learn to cook. He writes about different experiments you can do that will show you what he is explaining. How much fun could this be if you got your children involved-what child does not like to play scientist in the kitchen? There is a simple experiment to separate out and see the gluten made by the proteins in flour-doesn't that

sound like fun to watch? Read more at www.squidoo.com

Cookie Bar Delight

Chef Feegle's Cookie Bar Delight's

Coming up with a recipe for Chef Feegle's Quest was really interesting for me. For the past three days I have been wondering what in the world to make. This morning when I got up I was watching a Christmas movie on the television and was thinking about these cookies my grandmother use to make with this fruit jelly stuff in the middle. Than my thoughts went to a Jewish cookie I made one year. So I was thinking about the ingredients I already had and came up with this recipe for Chef Feegle. I have to warn you, they may not look like Christmas but the flavors just pop in your mouth, saying oh, this is without a doubt a Christmas Cookie!! I wish you were here to help me test things out, yum! As with all of my recipes, I do not add salt and I use no-sodium baking powder and baking soda and no salt butter. I use as many organic ingredients as I have on hand that I purchased on sale. So adjust the recipe to use what is in your pantry, because I know your's will be just as good!!

Fried Mushrooms

Mushrooms are so GOOD for you!!

love mushrooms, but it has not always been that way. I remember my grandmother adding them to food and because they were all slimmy and gross I would pick them out. But than I started eating them on salads during an eight year journey of being vegetarian. I also loved them on homemade pizza's. BUT then I took a college biology course and stopped eating mushrooms again (for reasons I will not mention). When I met my husband he introduced me to portabella mushrooms and my goodness I was hooked. So for the pass nine years I eat mushrooms on a regular base. I love them raw, on pizza or stuffed. NOW I love them fried and cannot get enough of them. I knew I needed to learn how to make them so I did some research and found a few recipes but nothing was really appealing to me. Since I was involved in the Geek Cookbook Review, I have been hooked on using pastry flour so I started to play around with learning how to fry mushrooms using the pastry flour as the first step. When my husband walked in from work one day and seen me making these mushrooms he asked if I was double dipping them so I guess I was without realizing it. But trust me they are really good. Mine do not have extra salt on them but I bet they would be extra good if you added a little to the flour. I hope you enjoy this recipe. If you decide to try it please come back and let me know how you liked it. Read more at www.squidoo.com
