A Happy Day in my Kitchen !!

So today (well last week now) was a total 'me in the kitchen day' ........yeah I love those days.

These are days when I feel that I am really fulfilling a part of my vocation, the part where I  am providing nourishing and wholesome food and health care for my family.

So I am just sharing one of these days with you now just for the fun of it.!!!!

First off I Strained the Yogurt I had made the night before in the Crock Pot  to make Greek Yogurt

After it is strained I have Liquid Whey to make Lemonade and 2kg of Full Fat Greek yogurt
 I Soaked Buttermilk Pancakes  ready for dinner that night. A very healthy treat for the weekend :) - no photo
That evening I Cooked Buttermilk Pancakes.

Skimmed cream off milk that had been left for 24 hours so the cream rose to the top

 Made Lemon/Lime Water Kefir  (Stage 2) from Stage 1 (which is below) that had been started the day before

Re-made the Water Keifr for Stage 1 to keep the cycle going

Mixed up Artisan Bread and made  E milk Kefir from the skimmed milk (see above)

Made up the loaves of Sourdough Fruit Bread from the day before soaking and rising

Then I re mixed the sour dough starter

Soaked the almonds (activated) and then  slow drying of almonds

Made a sourdough Spice Cake from the remains of the sourdough starter

Soaked then strained  wheat

Made an elderberry Tincture ready for the cold and flu season
Made up Chai Tea mix (started this but didn't finish)

Made this Sultana and Apple Shortcake - this is a huge favourite

Made up and used my own hair nourishing oil

Made some more of my Gentle Deodorant

Vellvin was also in the kitchen for a while and made -

THM brownies (FP)

Chocolate Pudding THM (FP) with

Frozen Strawberries in the food processor
Overnight Jar Oats THM (E) - no picture
Chocolate Sauce THM (FP) - no picture
Berry Breakfast Cake THM  (E) - no picture
All of these are tried and true recipes we use often.

And so the day comes to and.........we are left with the kitchen looking like this after a lot of washing up during the day but still lots of clean up to do.

Blessings to you and your homes,
