Simplifying your life can be quite complicated when you first start out. No really. You don’t know where to start. Have no idea where to look for things or what you should be looking for.
You feel a little overwhelmed by it all. Well I say start off easy. Decide to make the cookies and treats at home. Move to the sauces and other things. And before you know it you will be planting a garden and people will be wondering what on earth happened to you.
I am definitely going to have to wait before joining in the 100 mile diet as I just haven’t had the time to source out local wheat and flour not saying it isn’t there just I am unsure where. The girls are loving the change of pace and today I let them bake cookies. a very simple recipe that can be jazzed however you like it.
They did well and even with adding melted chocolate to the biscuit mix and then throwing in white choc chips they turned out pretty well really. I have to hold my tongue sometimes when they cook as I want them to enjoy it and learn. I want them to learn the idea that they can do these things themselves without having to attack the shops.
Next on my hit list is to make lollies for home. More traditional things like fudge and toffees BUT if anyone has a recipe for jelly babies, bananas or musk sticks please let me know.
