Friends and Recipes

It has been so long since I've had the time to blog. Our schedule has been very full, to say the least. Last weekend we had some of our friends over. We had a blessed time going on hikes back into the BLM land down the road from us, playing music together, and of course eating. Here are some of the recipes that we used.

Cornmeal Roles:

1/3 c. cornmeal

1/4 c. lukewarm water

4 c. flour

Combine cornmeal,honey, salt, oil, and water. Cook on low heat until thick. Stir often. Cool until lukewarm. Mix flax with 4 Tbsp of water. Dissolve yeast in ¼ cup of warm water then add flax mixture. When cornmeal mixture is cool add yeast and flax mixture. Mix all together adding flour. Kneed, cut w/ biscuit cutter, (or round cookie cutter). Fold in half. Place on oiled sheet. Let rise. Bake at 375 for 15 min. Yields 3 dozen.

Coconut Butter:

2 Tbsp. Lemon juice

1/4 c. pimentos

Mix all together in blender. Blend on high for one and a half to two minutes. Then add two c. water. Blend until mixed well. Stir and heat on high until thick.

I have to catch Ashley at home some time to get that pie, ice cream, and salad dressing recipes. But hopefully that can happen soon.

For all our MI friends and family we will be in MI from the 30^th of September to the 3^rd of October. Then we'll be leaving to cook for a family camp in IN. Then we will arrive home on the 14^th of October only for most of the family to leave again the 17^th to pick up the business in Wyoming that we are buying. That is certainly not the end to our over packed schedule, but I will not weary you with any more.

The Lord continues to be gracious unto us and we are so thankful to Him for that.

May God bless the rest of your week. And enjoy those recipes.
