Encouragement for Christian Sisters

Greetings sisters in Christ, This is just a quick post on how to whip up a nutritious snack, Pumpkin Cake Bread.  I don't know whether to call it cake or bread by the texture of it but either way it's tasty:-) This is great to have the ingredients on hand because you can mix it up in a matter of a couple minutes and have it baked in less than 20. You need: * 1 Spice cake mix (or make your own if you like) * 1 can of pumpkin 15 oz * (optional topping) That's it! Mix them both together, spread onto a greased baking sheet and bake at 350 for 18? minutes?  You know your oven better than I do so I'm sure you can figure out the timing.  I spread mine on a thin baking sheet so that it cooks faster but you can make yours any way.  We like to add a natural topping to sweeten it up a bit, like coconut.  You could sprinkle chocolate chips, cinnamon sugar mix or use frosting.  You could also leave it plain and top it with yogurt, we like that too.  Use your cooki

Greetings sisters in Christ, I pray you are all doing well today! Today I'm sharing about bread.   Just hearing that word sounds nourishing doesn't it?  Our Saviour is the bread of life: And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. John 6:35 He spiritually nourishes us and satisfies our hunger of truth. The gospel, good news, is the way to eternal life and those born of it will strive in obedience, out of love of what He has done, until He brings them home.  Amen. This post on learning how to make bread is one that I root in our Savior because the Israelites ate manna in the dessert and it sustained them.  We read about bread through the bible and it sustained them.  Sadly today, bread has a bad rap and I'm about to expose it and encourage you all to think about learning how to make it as times get tough you will want to know ahead of time, how to be resourceful in feed

Greetings sisters in Christ! I pray you are all diligent in your keeper at home duties :-) Today I bring you an easy bread recipe that I found on my old homestead blog.  I hope you enjoy it. **************************************************** This bread is super simple to make and tastes excellent.  It slices great, you can rip hunks off it, it doesn't fall apart and everyone we serve it to is astonished at how simple and tasty it is, not to mention economical! You will need 4 ingredients: 3 cups White Flour 1 teaspoon Salt 1 teaspoon Yeast 1 1/2 cup Water (warm) That's it!  We try to purchase unbromated/unbleached flour when possible but don't fret if you can't find it, you're still doing yourself a favor by making your own either way as compared to buying from the store. Before we start you will need to have a pan.  Cast Iron is best, here's an example of what I use.... Here's what you do.... * Put the flour in a bowl then mix in sa

Greetings again sisters! Here's a simple recipe from my old homestead blog on how to make an easy sweet bread with 5 ingredients.    Toppings are additional. *************************************** Who doesn't like fresh sweet bread? It makes a delicious dessert or snack, is a great surprise in a lunch box and is a wonderful gift!  It has very few ingredients and is so simple to make that you can whip one up before bedtime when you forgot you needed something for the next day.  This recipe is perfect for a child to help with or do themselves with minimal guidance. Soda Bread *3 cups white flour *3/4 teaspoon salt *2 teaspoons baking powder *1/3 cup sugar  (could use less like 1/4 if you don't want it so sweet) *1 can of soda-yes, soda pop, whatever flavor you like. (We like to use Zevia or any other natural soda, however natural soda can be.) The next ingredients are optional: *2 tablespoons melted butter  *Sugar Cinnamon mix  (just take a couple teaspoon

Greetings sisters,  Here's another post from the past blog...Molasses Banana Bread. As I'm reading these old posts and seeing the recipes, I get a twinge of longing to be baking in a real kitchen, but we're on the road so I'll have to kill that flesh:-)  I hope you enjoy this one...... We enjoy healthy snacks because sometimes in our busy carving season they become our meal.  Natural peanut butter is a mainstay in our house and I stock up when I find them at our local dent and bent.  It contains nothing more than peanuts and sometimes salt and in order to eat it (other than just off the spoon) we like to put it on breads and one favorite is banana bread.  It's a great way to not let old bananas go to waste and a healthy alternative to other quick food options, for sure.   But wait!  Move over bananas and make room for MOLASSES!  Molasses are a powerhouse of nutrition, taste great and when combined in banana bread, well, words cannot describe it.  This rec

Greetings again sisters! Here is a recipe from my old keepers at home blog on how to make a quick pan bread.  I hope you enjoy it: There was a time when I would go to the dent and bent and buy some of the better quality bread and put it in the freezer for emergency use, which means I either forgot to make my own or I ran out of time:-)  Over the past couple years I have been wanting to take time to find a way to make a good quality wheat bread in less than the normal time to make bread and I finally have.  If I were to hurry from start to finish, I could do it in about 35 minutes.  It all depends if I spread it thin and cook it on the wood stove or regular stove and if I have the wheat already ground and waiting in the freezer to be made into the next delicious bread. I'm all about the simplistic route so after getting my mind boggled online with all these fancy ways to make a pan bread, rising times, ingredients etc....I decided to unplug and go figure one out myself. I have
