Bake For Good

The Bake For Good tour came to McKenna's school and taught the kids how to bake homemade bread.  Then, they sent them all home with ingredients and an assignment to bake two loaves over the weekend...one for their family and one to bring back to the school to be collected and shared with a local shelter.  That's a pretty awesome experience for them.  Right now, Kenna and I are waiting for the dough to rise.  The whole process to make these two loaves will be 3 1/2 hours.  I think if we did this more often, I would make a whole bunch at a time because it takes so long.  When we were visiting the Amish family last weekend they were baking a lot of bread and had loaves stacked all along their counter top.  That reminded me that today is National Peanut Butter Day, so I think I will let the girls make the special Amish Peanut Butter Spread for our homemade bread.  We had it once when we were in Shipshewana and my girls RAVE about it.  You know when your kids are engrossed in cartoons on Saturday morning and you think they aren't listening to your conversations...???  Today, I was mentioning to Brad that I may pick up ingredients to let them make the peanut butter spread and they all yelled from the living room..."YES, YES, YES!"  SO, the other times I am asking them if they have their homework finished.....hmmmmm.....that is just weird that they can't hear me then.


It would probably be rude of me to mention the Amish Peanut Butter Spread without adding the ingredients....1 cup light corn syrup, 1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth), and 1/4 cup marshmallow creme....mix it up...YUM!  Happy National Peanut Butter Day!


Well, ALMOST nothing! :P
