IDEA

quick question this has always been my food blog to help assist in the same dinner every week blues. And also to share our love of made from scratch, homemade cooking that is the best quality and taste you can imagines.

I have taken my demestication to new extremes trying to save us money and from harmful chemicals and using homemade non toxic cleaners, detergents and so on we also use a more natural approach to felling blah and really dont like to pump ours selfs up with pill after pill, unless nothing else is doing the trick.

I am a proverbs 31 wife and mother and proud of it!

so my question to you????????Any interest in the ones I have tried and tested and found to work being shared on here as well?

Leave a comment and let me know

Was looking for something different and easy as I wasn't feeling all to great tonight. So we did our first breakfast pizza

I made my bacon and scrambeled eggs like usual

Pizza crust

Do 1 cup hot water

Combine in a bowl and allow to sit 10 mins

Next we need 2 1/3 cup of flour
Use gluten free flour same measurment and add 1 tsp zantham gum
2 tbs oil oil
Add in wet ingredients and mix

Need into a round ball.
I used a pizza stone and coated it with olive oil and the rolled the dough right onto the pan. Poke several holes in the dough and place in a 450 degree oven. Cook for 20 minuets

Pull out and top with your egg and bacon and shredded sharp cheese.

Bake for an additional 10 minuets

Cool for 5 minuets and then enjoy

french onion mashed potatos

I wanted to do something different with our mashed potatoes, just to add something different. We could eat potatoes everyday they are a household fav

so we made french onion mashed potatoes

cook the potatoes like normal either boiling in water or beef broth

while they are cooking take a big onion baseball size and carmilize them in some extra virgin olive oil

mash the potatoes with butter, a splash of milk, beef broth, pepper and salt. place in a serving dish then cover them with your onions and top with cheese.

They almost reminded me of french onion soup. It was a great twist to a family fav

Ham and potatoe soup

This was so good and so easy. I had left over ham from the night before so I diced it up. About 3 1/2 cups worth. I also did the same amount in potato. I added this to 3 1/4 cups of water. The drippings from when the ham orginal cooked, but if you don't have the drippings they can be left out. I added to chicken bullion cubes. 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
Diced up onion and celery

Then in a sauce pan I did
5 tbs butter
5 tbs flour
use gluten free flour in place of regular flour if you have a wheat allergy
2 cups of milk
Milk allergy its okay use your soy or almond milk

Once this thicked after brought to a boil I added it to ham and potaot pan and simmered for an hour.

I then added, knowing my alergy child wasn't going to eat this {she already requested homemade tomato soup} copper cheese to the pan allowing it to melt .

This was so good. We had homemade dinner rolls with it but another good idea is to add croutons on top of the soup before you serve.

This was a hit and I had no left over soup. Can't wait to make it again

Enjoy
