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!!

Homemade Blush

Here is another great recipe from ThankYourBody.com. I used beet root and hibiscus powder for mine and I love it. 

Homemade Blush

Ingredients:
Arrowroot Powder
Hibiscus Powder
Cinnamon (Optional)

Directions: 
Start with a base of arrowroot powder, about 1 Tbs. Add in the hibiscus or beet root powder a little at a time until you get the desired color. Add cinnamon for a little depth and glow.

*Note: Hibiscus powder gives a nice subtle pink glow, but for some it may seem too subtle. You could also try Alkanet Root or Beet Root powder which has a richer, more reddish, tone. But in either case, add the color gradually. You can always add more arrowroot powder to lighten back up, but if you get too heavy handed you’ll end up with a whole lot of blush on your hands.

You can find Hibiscus and Beet Root at My Spice Sage (as well as a gazillion other spices). It's not the only place of course, but their prices are good, quality very good, and your order arrives very quickly!!
