It's all in a name... We made these yummy little doughnuts a few days ago. The recipe is from here. Not quite as good as doughnuts with gluten, left to rise overnight, but still tasty. We also modfied the recipe to use half brown rice flour/half gluten free flour, and used vanilla stevia per Adam's request. We cooked them in coconut oil, and they are super yummy.
So I have been trying to gather my thoughts to post on this for a few days now. Something always seemed to come up, or I was too tired from packing/and or seeing people for the last time in a while.
There are many. Here are a few.
I have to share some lazy Saturday cooking with you. A book I requested months ago from the library finally came in. Apples for Jam. I had it on hold too but then had a baby- so there was no real book reading for me. In hindsight I wish I had just bought it instead of waiting so long for it after first seeing it mentioned here. I am so loving this book. Lots and lots of recipes with sugar, simple carbs and such which I am normally not the biggest fan of- but the book really is a treasure. There are also lots of time tested recipes and old favorites redone. And pretty much all of the recipes are adaptable. As we speak I have a batch of brown bread rising -and plan to leave it overnight. This is not called for in the book but a step I feel more comfortable with in light of long term healthy habits. The really great part about the book is the whimsical way the recipes seem to be thrown together, and the authors notes about childhood and food that leave you reminiscing.
Knit strawberries, that is:) Yes, I finally gave in to the urge on Saturday morning - to knit a basket-full of berries. Luckily. I have red scrap yarn in several different shades, including variegated that was kool-aid dyed "back in the day" of starting out with cloth diapering. Strawberries are such a fun, quick knit. Like- if I concentrate- 20 minutes quick. But alas, I have only 9 so far. I have been commissioned to make more, we'll see. Pattern here.
This time from another aunt. Her sister, in fact- Aunt Tonia. Again, a wonderful package that has me completely excited. A half finished waldorf doll with all the trimmings and supplies- even a pattern I haven't yet used, a stack of striped knits, some art sticks, and a sweater and mittens handknit and handed down. I am loving it. The knits especially will make a good case for the book I recently requested from the library that I see just everywhere... Sew U Home Stretch.
I am sharing some fluffy baby and knits pictures with you.
