Recipes to Share:

The cracker recipes below are basic—delicious as written, but also a great starting point for inventing your own personal favorites. Try different types of flours, or melted butter instead of olive oil; add seeds or herbs to the dough, or brush the top of the raw crackers with milk and sprinkle them with seeds before baking.

Whole Wheat Matzoh or Water Crackers

Crackers at their very simplest!
Makes: 4 large matzoh

Ingredients:
1½ cups organic whole wheat flour
½ cup warm water

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Put the flour in a medium bowl and add most of the water. Stir and mash with a heavy spoon until blended and it makes a doughy lump. If your dough is still crumbly, add more water, a few drops at a time, until it comes together. Put your silicone sheet on your work surface, turn the dough out onto it, and knead it for a few minutes until it becomes elastic and doesn’t crumble when you fold it. If it sticks to your hands, sprinkle a little bit of flour over your dough, rub your hands clean, and keep kneading. Cut the ball into four equal parts. At one end of the silicone sheet, roll one part out as thin as you can into a rough rectangle about 8 inches by 10 inches. Do your best to get the dough as evenly thin as you can, as the thinner areas will cook faster than the thicker ones. Roll out a second ball at the other end of the sheet. Professional matzoh makers have a vicious-looking spiked device called a patry docker which you use to poke tiny holes all over the surface of raw matzoh, but you can get the same effect using a fork to poke holes every ½ inch all over the surface. Slide the sheet onto your cookie pan and bake the crackers for 3 to 4 minutes, just until the edges start to turn golden brown. Watch carefully; they get too brown really fast! Pull the pan out, flip the crackers over, and back for 1 more minute or less. Remove from the oven and put the matzohs on a rack to cool. Repeat with the three remaining lumps of dough. Enjoy right away or store in airtight container for up to a month.

Organic Thin Wheat Crackers

These are similar to Nabisco Wheat Thins, but without the refined flour and unpronounceable ingredients.
Makes: about 40 crackers

Ingredients:

1½ cups organic whole wheat flour
½ teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons olive oil
½ cup warm water
1 teaspoon honey
Extra salt for sprinkling on the tops (optional)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix the flour and the salt in a medium mixing bowl, add the oil, and stir. Mash the mixture with a heavy spoon until it is completely blended and looks like cornmeal. Dissolve the honey in the water and pour most of it over the flour mixture. Stir and mash until it all comes together into a doughy lump. If it is still crumbly, add more of the honey-water mixture, a few drops at a time, until the dough comes together. Put your silicone sheet on your work surface, turn the dough out onto it, and knead it for a few minutes until it becomes elastic and doesn’t crumble when you fold it. Form the dough into a log in the center of the sheet, flatten it a bit with your hands, and then roll it out with the rolling pin to make a thin layer almost as large as the sheet. If the dough sticks to the rolling pin, dust the rolling pin with a little flour or put a second silicone sheet or length of parchment paper on top of the dough, and roll over that (peel off the top layer once you’re done rolling). Pressing gently so you don’t cut the sheet underneath, use a dull knife or a pizza cutter to score the dough into crackers. I make mine into 1¼-inch squares. Sprinkle with salt if desired. Slide the sheet onto your cookie pan, pop it in the oven, and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges start to turn golden brown. Remove the pan from the oven, snap the crackers apart and turn them over, and return the pan to the oven for a few minutes more to brown the bottoms. (Note: Watch the edges carefully so they don’t get too brown) Cool, enjoy, and store in an airtight jar for up to two weeks.

Organic Cheesy Wheat Tidbits

Makes: about 3 cups of Goldfish-size diamonds

Ingredients:

½ cup whole wheat flour
¼ teaspoon paprika
¾ teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon olive oil
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1½ to 2 Tablespoons water

Directions:

Proceed as for thin wheat crackers. After combining the oil with the dry ingredients, add the grated cheese a little at a time. Mash and stir it into your dough with a spoon before adding more, and gradually add a little at a time until it is all mashed in. Add the water a little at a time until the dough just holds together. Knead the dough a few times (it won’t get elastic, as there is too much cheese, but it will get a bit less crumbly). Roll it out thin and make parallel cuts in the dough about ½ inch apart in one direction, then turn the pan 45 degrees and make cuts about ½ inch apart again to form small diamonds. Bake for 15 minutes, remove from oven, flip crackers over, and bake for 5 minutes more, until the thinner parts start to turn golden brown. Break apart, cool, and enjoy. Store in an airtight jar for up to a week (if you can resist them that long). This cracker is also good cut into long strips, similar to cheese sticks, to serve with a meal.

Canning Butter

Supplies:

Large pot

Wooden Spoon or Spatula

Pint canning jars

Seals and Rings for jars

Butter, salted kind (any brand will work)

Roasting Pan

Smaller pot for boiling seals

Funnel

Ladle

Cooling Rack

Directions:

1. Wash all jars very well. Put them in a roasting pan and heat in a 250 degree oven for 20 minutes, without rings or seals.

2. In the smaller pan bring some water to a boil and simmer the seals a couple of minutes. Keep in the hot water until needed.

3. As the jars heat in the oven, slowly melt the butter in the large pot, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula the whole time to keep the butter from scorching. Slowly bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes stirring well the whole time. Make sure you have a very big pot as the butter will rise and become foamy as it boils. We don't want any disasters of butter boiling over and creating fires! One pound of butter fills one pint jar and a little more.

4. With the ladle, stir and scoop the butter from the bottom of the pan into the jars using a canning jar funnel to guide the butter. To allow room for the shaking process leave 3/4" of head space in the jar.

Crock Pot Apple Butter

(Makes a little more than 1 pint)

1 dozen apples, peeled, cored, and cubed

1/2 Cup Water

1 Cup Brown Sugar

3/4 teaspoon Cinnamon

3/4 teaspoon All Spice

In the evening:

Peel, core, and chop a dozen apples.

Toss the apples in the sugar and spices.

Put everything in the Crockpot and set it on low until morning.

In the morning:

After a few more hours on low, bump it to high and prop the lid with a wooden spoon. It should cook down and thicken quite a bit.

I suppose it’s optional, but I like to blend the butter down smooth so it is the consistency of traditional apple butter. The chunky apple butter compliments things such as ice cream and bagels.

You can either can the apple butter or freeze it.

Pumpkin Butter

Ingredients:

1 (29 ounce) can pumpkin puree, approx. 3 1/2 cups of fresh

3/4 cup apple juice

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

3/4 teaspoon ground cloves

2 cups brown sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1-2 tsp fresh lemon juice

Directions:

1. Combine pumpkin, apple juice, spices, and sugar in a large saucepan and stir well. Bring mixture to a boil, covered with lid ajar (I prop it with a wooden spoon). Reduce heat to low-medium and simmer, covered with lid ajar, for 35-45 minutes, stirring frequently. Be careful as the mixture bubbles and pops!

2. Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes before removing lid. Adjust spices to taste. Stir in lemon juice.

Once cool, pumpkin butter can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks. Makes enough to fill one large mason jar or about 3.5 cups.

Preserved lemons

Ingredients

8-10 Meyer lemons, scrubbed clean

1/2 cup kosher salt, more if needed

Directions:

1. sterlize your jars

2. add 2 tbsp. salt to bottom of jar

3. cut and quarter the lemons or slice and dice as you please

4. salt the lemons generously

5. pack the lemons in the jar, squishing

them down, so the juice is extracted &

the juice rises to the top.

6. keep adding salt between layers of lemons.

7. pack jar with as many lemons as you

can squeeze in, cover with more salt &

seal jars tightly.

8. let jars sit at room temperature for a couple of days, turning them upside down occasionally. Place jar in the fridge for at least

3 weeks, until lemon rinds soften.

To use, remove lemon from jar & rinse thoroughly to remove salt & discard seeds.

Lemons can be stored in the fridge for up to 6 months.

At the time of my birth, my parents were living in Boise, Idaho, but my mother travelled to her parent’s home in Rexburg, Idaho where she had most of her children. So I was born in Rexburg. Except for a three or four year absence for a job my dad was doing in New Jersey, I grew up in Boise, Idaho. I graduated from Borah High School.

I have seven brothers and sisters and about 30 nieces and nephews. My mother has passed away. My dad lives in Cedar City, Utah. I come from a long line of members of the church. My great-great grandparents on both sides were pioneers who crossed the plains with the Saints. I am really grateful to all of my family for their great faith and hard work.

My husband and I met shortly after high school in Bountiful, Utah. We attended the same single adult ward. We dated for a little while before and after his mission, and then became engaged. However, this story book romance has an unpredictable ending. Despite meeting at such a young age, we did not get married until nearly thirty years later. We have been married for just two short years and are very much still in love. Between us, we have six children. Al has four (ages 23, 20, 19, and 14) who live away from our home; I have one, Chase (age 13), who lives with us; and we have Easton (age 14), who is a foster child we love having in our home.

I don’t have many hobbies because I don’t find myself having much spare time. I do enjoy many things, but I am not so sure that I am good at many of them. I like to be physically active and being outdoors. I enjoy boating, skiing, motorcycling if it is at my own pace, hiking if it is at my own pace, going for walks if it is at my own pace, gardening, working in the yard and around the house. I mostly enjoy tagging along with the boys (Al included) as they do their things – as long as I get to go at my own pace. I also enjoy music and playing the piano.

I am a bankruptcy and family law attorney. I have my own law firm here in Nampa. In five years I hope to be working on a different business venture with my husband. But for now I will try to find some happiness in the depressing field I chose for myself for some strange reason.

My favorite calling I have had in the church is to be a teacher. I was just recently called to be on the Scout Committee and I am a visiting teacher.
