Calendar Cookbook

I recently made this cookbook for my dolls.
We got a calendar at the beginning of this
year and I had cut out the pictures from
the back. They've been sitting on my desk
for a while and I finally got around to making
it.



I typed up the title on the computer,stamped
the rose and used colored pencils for the leaves.

Pepper Dip

Our garden sure is growing!
We don't have much that's grown enough to
eat, except a few carrots and radishes.
A recent storm blew down one of our peppers.
Thankfully, that was the only damage we got.
I cut the pepper in half and put a spoonful
of ranch dressing in the bottom. Then I
cut the other half into strips.



It turned out to be a really nice dip for my dolls.



Back to the garden to weed.
I hope your gardens are growing too!!

Yum!

Rhuberry pie recipe

Yesterday I made another rhuberry pie.
I had extra dough, so I made decorations for
the top.

This is how it looked before I baked it.



This is how it looked after I baked it.



Unfortunately, when I put it out to cool,
my youngest brother pulled it off the counter
and it fell on the floor.



Rhuberry Pie

Ingredients:
Pie crust (recipe follows)
1 1/3 cups sugar
1/3 cup flour (I used rice flour)
2 cups sliced rhubarb
2 cups sliced strawberries

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees and place
the pie crust in the pie plate.
2. Mix sugar and flour.
3. Place 1/2 of the fruit in the pie crust and sprinkle
with some of the sugar mixture. Do the same with
the rest of the fruit and sugar.
4. Cover with pie crust with slits in it.
5. Bake for 40-50 minutes. Set out to cool (out of the reach
of younger siblings.)
6. Serve warm or cold with ice cream or whipped cream.


Pie Crust

Ingredients:
2/3 cup COLD butter
2 cups rice flour


1 tsp xanthan gum

1 tsp salt

4+ tbs COLD water

1. Cut the butter in the flour and salt.

2. Add the water 1 tbs at a time until the dough forms a ball.

(Don't worry if you use a lot of water, I used 10 tbs in one of

mine.)

3. Let chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
4. Take dough out of refrigerator and let rest for about 5 minutes.
5. Divide dough in two. Roll out each ball on a floured (rice) surface into a circle, about 10 inches. (Don't try to squish it or it will crumble and fall apart. Then you will have to press it into the pie plate.)

Rhuberry pie

A few days ago, our grandparents came to visit

and I made rhuberry pie with fresh rhubarb from

our garden and strawberries.

It came out very good, better then even I thought it

would be. I made my own recipe for gluten free pie crust,

based off of a regular pie crust recipe.

Yummy!

Homemade whipped cream, too!!

Indoor Picnic

Let's go on a picnic! Is everyone ready? Good. You may pray, then eat.

Jo, your suppose to eat the sandwich together, not apart.

Uh oh. Robin, Gingersnap is eating the rest of your food!

Oh well. All's forgiven.

Time to go. This was fun, we'll have to do it again sometime. Good-bye!
