Peaches herald the month of August with their sweet juiciness. I could hardly wait until I could buy a basket for our local produce stand. Best of all, they had my favorite kind for fresh eating….Red Haven!
Have you ever heard of Einkorn flour? Einkorn is an ancient grain that many people with wheat sensitivities can use. This recipe makes pancakes and waffles are fluffy and soft. I used a mix of all-purpose and whole-grain Einkorn flour
Sweet juicy peaches are now in season. If you have never tried Peach Salsa, you really must! The sweet from the peaches and the heat from the jalapenos are just perfect to the taste buds. Another appeal is that it pleases the eye with the lovely array of color!

Horse Progress Days are now a memory! Our family set up a vender stand in the Homemaker’s building. I had two sessions, Friday and Saturday where I showed ladies how to feed/care for your starter, mix bread dough, do stretch and folds, shape and slash bread, and we finished with a crusty loaf of bread that we got out of the oven. I used the cast iron baker pictured below. I love it! We then allowed the ladies to sample the loaf at our vender stand after it had cooled.
If you have wanted sourdough starter…..now is the time to purchase some. July 5th-6th, buy 1 get 2 free!
Chocolate Cherry Bread is a moist delicious dessert bread studded with fresh dark cherries and chocolate. This very bread is very easy to make and is so delicious with a cup of coffee. As many of you know I love baking with sourdough! This recipe uses one cup of sourdough starter which helps give it a wonderful texture.
Horse Progress Days will be held at Mt Hope Auction Grounds in Mt Hope, Ohio. This event will be held on July 2nd and 3rd, 2021. I have been asked to have a Sourdough Demonstration in the Homemaker’s Building. On Friday the session will be at 9:45am and on Saturday it will be at 11:00am. Each person who attends a session will receive a small packet of sourdough starter.
I will take you through the steps of caring for your starter and showing how to mix bread dough. We will have cookbooks along that you can purchase. We look forward to seeing you there!
There are five different sessions for the ladies to attend while the men are busy with all the horse related items.
Homemade egg noodles are a Mennonite/German tradition. As a young girl my introduction into making noodles was by my grandmother and later on my mother-in-law. I still have my mother-in-law’s Atlas noodle maker and it has made many, many noodles.
