Welcome

Welcome Friends!! This little blog is for all my friends and family that have requested I share my recipes and other homemaking ideas… As most of you know, we moved onto a 64 acre farm about two years ago… we still have our Family Nights, but now many of us live up here on the farm: Mom and Dad live with Lanny and I, Paula built her house in one of the existing barns, Robbie and Molly built inside the big barn by us… You can check it all out on our blog the Johnson Gap Chronicles… Anyway, I am still fermenting and brewing all over my kitchen, but our Tuesday night dinners are not as large as they used to be. All the grands except 2 are grown, have jobs, live in other cities, and with the recent Covid insanity (and our daughter-in-laws heart transplant) James and Tasha are not out much lately. We just move on and look forward to better days. Thanks for peeking in… check back now and then and I promise to add new recipes and ideas as I am inspired :-) God bless!!

Easy Home Made Bread


This is a wonderfully easy bread dough recipe that can be used for bread, rolls, 
buns, pizza crust.... and it’s pretty healthy too! 

Easy Mimi Bread

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 ½ Cups Water
4 Cups All Purpose Unbleached Bread Flour
½ Cup Potato Flakes (Instant Mashed Potatoes) Optional
2 tsp Sea Salt
4 tsp Sugar
2 tsp Yeast

Directions: 
Combine ingredients, in order, in bread maker. Set for dough cycle. After first rise, shape as desired and let rise second time in warm place for 45 minutes. Bake in 350 degree oven for 25 minutes.

You can make a nice herb bread by adding 1 tsp of rosemary, thyme, basil, dill, onion flakes, whatever!!! Even ¼ cup cheddar cheese plus any herb combination.

You can also make this bread the traditional kneed/rise way using a little elbow grease :-) if you don't have a bread machine.
