Make It From Scratch!


It is my pleasure to be hosting the Make It From Scratch! carnival today!

Here are this week’s submissions. Happy reading!

—————————————-

Dora Renee talks about egg experiments with her son, and making yogurt from scratch at home!

Flea educates us on how to make a simple survival knife for 50 cents or less with items from the local hardware store. Perfect for hikers and campers!

Rani shares with us their recipe for Beer Bread. Sounds yummy!

RecycleCindy gives us a cool way of reusing our t-shirts by turning them into cool totebags. She even offers the crochet pattern for free!

With summer coming more and more people are entertaining with seasonal fruits and vegetables. What better way to compliment your summer strawberries than with Lucky’s recipe and step by step instructions for Heavenly Angel Food Cake?

Oh my gosh, I love pickles! Frills In The Hills shows us how she makes pickles the way her grandfather used to. I am definitely going to try this recipe out!

Ever tried 5-minute mug brownies? I have! Learn how with the Make it from Scratch recipe. Try adding chocolate chips for that extra kick!

Oh yum, more of my favourite food! Jim shares his method of making the perfect pizza dough from scratch!

Have you gotten a card for your dad yet? Alex reminds us that you can easily print your own Father’s Day card.

Myscha Theriault from WiseBread asks us “Why buy frosting from a can when you can whip it up cheaply from scratch?”

Do you like to clip and keep a lot of coupons, but don’t really have anywhere central to store them? Maybe a homemade coupon box like Rachel’s is the answer. Check it out!

Delicious and ridiculously easy caramel rolls from no-knead bread. These rolls are no more prep than refrigerated rolls, but taste better and are cheaper. –Thanks Margit!

If you want the tast of BBQ but don’t have one of your own, Carrie shares a great recipe for Oven BBQ’d Chicken. Follow it with the angel food cake and you’ll be golden!

Viviana reminds us that during these hard times it is even more important to make do and mend our own clothes. Her article provides a bit of history on the subject as well as some resources for those who would like to learn how to mend their clothes.

Rina shares her delectable Rhubarb Crumb Bars recipe with us. Hurry out to your local farmer’s market and get some rhubarb while it’s still in season!

Katie lists another option for preparing your meat with a lovely Jamaican Meat Marinade and a quick lesson on peppers!

Local Nourishment finds the perfect recipe for soaked grain pancakes!

Stacy shares another fantastic Rhubarb Buckle recipe with us. Oooh I can taste the tartness from here!

Pete tells us why a fruit tree is a great thing to have in your backyard. I couldn’t agree more! Think of all the things you could do with the fruit!

  1. Hi Ginger – I got the chocolates last night. My question to you is – how honest should I be? I have to say, BF and I both tried the milk chocolate ones last night and didn’t like them at all. I couldn’t even finish one.

  2. Thank you SO much for including my link and a picture!!
