Recipe: English Muffins

I was so excited to try these when I found the recipe- partially because they are so cheap to make (only 8 cents each!) compared to buying them, and partially because I like to eat homemade food instead of store bought whenever I can.

They were relatively easy to make, and delicious; turned out just right. I will definitely be making them again!

Recipe: Homemade Tortillas

I made homemade flour tortillas yesterday, refrigerated them and reheated one for lunch today. I spread it with peanut butter and jelly and it was delicious. 

They are also good with cheese and whatever other toppings you like on your tortillas.

Homemade Tortillas
3 cups Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
1/3 cup oil
1 cup warm water


Mix together the above ingredients. Sprinkle flour onto cupboard and roll out small pieces of dough until very thin. Heat a pan and place torilla inside. Cook for about 15 or so seconds on each side, just until little brown spots form and no longer doughy.


Makes about 16.

Recipe: Zucchini Bread

My mom has been making this bread for as long as I can remember, since we have always had plenty of zucchini. 

It is moist, soft and delicious. I definitely recommend trying- especially when you have so much zucchini that you don't know what to do with it all. Grate them and freeze them so you can make this in the Winter, too.

Zucchini Bread

3 eggs

1 cup oil (or applesauce)

2 cups sugar

2 cups zucchini (un-peeled, grated)

3 teaspoons vanilla extract

3 cups flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

3 tablespoons cinnamon

1/2 cup nuts (optional)

1/2 cup raisins (optional)

Beat eggs. Add oil, sugar, zucchini and vanilla and mix. Add dry ingredients and mix again. Pour into 2 large, 3 small, or 6 mini loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.
