It's that time again....

.

I wanted to give you a peek of what the boys and I have been doing this week (during our two week Spring Break).  I want show some of the things that we made from scratch and  took some pictures to share it with you. But first I really wanted to show  the latest picture of our mountains. This was taken during one of the few sunny periods that we had.  Yeah for sunshine !

.

On with what we made...

here is Noah helping me press the whole wheat tortillas .

.

For those who wanted to see my sailor's cloth that I roll all my pastries and cookies on here it is.  Sailors cloth is the fabric that they make sails out of.  It is the perfect fabric weight and weave to sprinkle flour on and roll your goodies on.  I highly recommend this as a Tightwad Tool.

.

Here is is Luke helping me by cooking the tortillas on our cast iron griddles. 

.

Then after lunch we moved on to making Homemade Grape Nuts.

.

They are sooooooooo easy and I REALLY suggest to try making them. Here is how I make sure there is no lumps from the baking soda and salt.

.

One thing that I do suggest is make sure you press all the lumps out of your brown sugar too.    Below picture is me spreading the dough out on the cookie sheet.  I found the easiest way to spread this was using the back of a metal soup or serving spoon.

.

This is what it looked like after you bake it. It felt like a cake too. 

.

 This is when you make the Grape Nuts into their shape.  I couldn't believe how easy this step was.  I REALLY recommend to just chop a little at a time and tear the cake up into one inch size before you chop.  Be careful not to over chop. 

.

.

Spread it out onto two cookie sheets.  I really couldn't  believe that it would fill two cookie sheets but it did !

.

Here are the Grape Nuts all baked and ready to eat. 

.

They really did taste like Grape Nuts .( better even ! )  I had a hard time imagining what each step was going to look like. So when I was trying it out I documented each step.  Because it was a success  I thought I had to show you the pics.

.
