3 Tbsp butter or coconut oil 1 cup hot water ¼ cup honey ½ Tbsp salt .7 oz fresh yeast or 2 ½ tsp dry yeast ½ cup room temp water or milk 1 egg 1 cup spelt flour 4-5 cups whole wheat flour

Stir together the hot water, butter/oil, honey, and salt. Mix in 1 cup of flour. Mix in the yeast and lukewarm water/milk. Mix in the egg. Mix in the rest of the flour one cup at a time. The dough will be very soft. Knead in enough flour to keep it together and and not sticky, but don't expect it to form a sturdy, resistant dough.

Coat with oil, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes or until doubled.

Gently roll it into a log shape. Place in a greased bread pan, coat with oil, cover, then rise again for 30 minutes.

When the dough is about 1” above the rim of the pan, bake at 350° F for 40-50 minutes, until browned on top and about 180° F inside. Let cool until it easily comes out of the bread pan.

4 cups flour 1 ¾ cups warm water or milk 1 Tbs. salt 2 tsp dry yeast or .6-.7 oz fresh yeast 2 tsp sugar

Mix-ins: peanut butter jam/jelly cheese marinara sauce, with or without cheese, minced pepperoni, etc poppy seeds and lemon zest dill weed and grated carrot any kind of herbs, edible flowers tiny bits of caramel cheese with minced vegetables like peppers, garlic, etc honey cinnamon and sugar dried fruit Use your imagination!

Combine the yeast with the sugar in warm water/milk. Stir in the flour one cup at a time, adding in the salt with the last cup of flour. Knead so that it's smooth and elastic with some resistance.

Coat bowl and dough in oil or water. Place dough in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap sealed around the edges, but large and loose over the top so it doesn't smash the risen dough. Let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled, in a warm place.

Divide dough into a lot of small portions. Add a different mix-in into each piece, adding flour if necessary to anything that is too wet. Some fillings can be kneaded into the dough. For some fillings, roll the piece of dough flat, put on the filling, and roll it into a log with the filling spiraled inside. Others can be made into little filled dumplings. Coat the outside of the pieces with water so they will adhere together. Put the pieces of dough all together in a greased bread pan, coat the top with oil, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rise again for another 30 minutes or so, until it is about an inch over the top of the pan.

Spray water into the oven or place a small pan with water inside. Put the bread pan into the oven, then start pre-heating to 350° F. Bake for 60-70 minutes until it's a dark golden brown on top and the interior measures to 190°-200° F.

2 cups apple juice ¼ cup lemon juice 2 Tbsp honey ½ cup milk ½ cup cream

I prefer to make apple juice with my juicer, but store-bought is fine. Stir together all ingredients. Chill in the fridge until it is completely cold. Churn in ice cream machine for 20 minutes, then transfer to a container and freeze until hard.

2 cups orange juice ½ cup plain yogurt ¼ tsp salt 2 Tbsp lemon juice 1 Tbsp vanilla extract 1 cup milk ½ cup cream ¼ cup honey

Beat all ingredients together until smooth and frothy. Churn in ice cream machine according to its instructions. (This recipe is too large for my machine so I churn it in 2 batches)

1 mint teabag (1 Tbsp dried mint leaves) 1 ¾ cup (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk ½ cup cocoa powder 2 cups cream 1 cup milk 1 Tbsp vanilla extract ½ cup chopped nuts 1 cup multi-colored mini marshmallows

Heat the cream in a small pan over high heat until it is steaming. Add in the mint teabag. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 1 hour. Remove teabag and chill completely.

In a small pan over low heat, stir together the sweetened condensed milk and cocoa powder for about 5 minutes, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat. Stir in the cream, milk, and vanilla. Chill completely.

Churn in an ice cream machine according to its directions. Add the chopped nuts and marshmallows at the end, churning for about 5 more minutes to mix them in. For my machine, the bowl needs to be completely frozen. Churn for 15 minutes, then 5 more minutes with the nuts and marshmallows.

Can be served soft, or transferred to an airtight container to be frozen.

½ pound ground pork sausage 3 Tbsp flour or corn starch ½ cup soup stock ½ cup milk ½ tsp seasoned salt

In a skillet over medium-high heat, break the sausage into chunks. Cook, stirring, until it is all browned. Add a little of the vegetable stock if needed to keep it from sticking to the pan.

Reduce heat to medium. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir it all in. Then slowly pour in the vegetable stock and milk, stirring constantly. Let the gravy simmer to thicken.

When it is as thick as you want it, add the seasoned salt.

Serve with biscuits or potatoes.

3 Tbsp butter 3 Tbsp flour or corn starch 1 cup milk ½ tsp salt (or to taste) ½ tsp pepper (or to taste)

In a small pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour, salt, and pepper. When that is mixed in smoothly, slowly stir in the milk. Use more milk to make it thinner if desired. Keep it on the heat to make it thicker, if desired.

You can use vegetable stock or meat broth instead of milk.

double batch of pie crust dough 2 ½ cups diced potatoes 1 ½ cup diced onion ¼ cup half-and-half, or milk ½ cup ground mustard seed 1 ½ cup grated or cubed cheese ½ tsp salt ½ tsp pepper beaten egg and milk to glaze the crusts

Bring water to boil in a large pot over high heat. Add the potato and onion. Cover the pan and boil until the potatoes are soft (this timing depends on how small the pieces are). Remove from heat, strain away the water, and put the potatoes and onions in a large bowl.

Add the half-and-half to the bowl. Mash everything until the potatoes are smooth. Stir in the mustard, salt, pepper, and cheese.

Preheat oven to 400° F.

Make small balls of pastry dough and roll them out to small circles, about 5”-6” wide. Put a spoonful of filling onto each circle, wet the edges of the crust with water, then fold them in half, pinching the edges together. You should be able to make 8 pasties.

Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Glaze the top with a mixture of beaten egg and a bit of milk. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the crusts are golden brown.
