Butter

Lately I've been very motivated to be in the kitchen. I've always enjoyed making meals from scratch...baking and cooking. I'm also very practical and frugal. I've never been good at baking bread but try every now and then. I find it silly to buy my sandwich bread, I think it's just water oil flour, but I couldn't get it just right no one would really eat it...well for sandwiches. So I came across "The Bread Bible" I read through it and just took some of her techniques ...and the first loaf of bread was great! we could put jelly, and penutbutter on it with out the bread falling apart & it cut smooth....I used my own recipe but her techniques and it was great. So now I've got bread and the best thing is my husband says he'll eat it!
So to go along with it I made cinnamon and sugar butter....heaven! So simple

1/2 lb (2 sticks) butter
(room temp. butter)
4 Tablespoons Sugar
about 3 teaspoons cinnamon
Whip it in the mixer and put it in a container
keep in the fridge.

Some recipes I came across used powdered sugar, but I like the granulated sugar.

coming up

Okay next Saturday the only new soap I'll have is the Lavender soap not the berries and twigs , they aren't ready yet. Plain Sandalwood Vanilla Berries and Twigs are soon to come, I'm making soap this afternoon too... so if there is soap you like let me know so I keep making it. The ones I don't sell well I might stop making unless someone likes it. Also the deodorant still using, still great, I'm going to post a variation for those who have sensitive skin. I haven't tried the lavender oil but as soon as I need to make more I will.

Laundry Soap

Today was the first day at the market! It was good weather , and I did well for the first day. If you are in Logan, every Saturday at Merlin Olsen Park there is the Gardeners Market , come and enjoy! It's were I'll be every Saturday I sell 20% Shae butter soap, Shae helps to not dry your skin out as much as other soaps (only $2.50 for a 4oz bar). Also, Laundry soap. For Laundry soap: 3 C. Borax 2 C. Soda Wash 2 C. Baking Soda 2 C. Laundry bar grated up Mix all in a bucket, it does about 90 loads of laundry use 1/8 c. - 1/4 c. per load. The baking soda should help soften your water but if you want to add oxi clean, that should help if your clothes are dingy. I know there are a lot of different ways to make laundry soap (and you can use my bars in all of them) but this is what I use and like. Let me know how you like it! You can find all this stuff were they sell laundry detergent at the store, the soda wash I haven't found at Wal -Mart but you can find it at Smith'
