When you purchase the freebies, you must purchase an additional $10. of non-rebated items per transaction to qualify for the rebate. You can get as many freebies as you want per transaction with only one $10. additional purchase. ((**You can get a $10. Gift card if you don't need anything right now!**)) Your rebate will come in the form of a Merchandise Check. Which means you must spend it at Menards, (I just use mine for more freebies!)

***

It's been reported that you do not have to spend the $10. and you will still get your rebate. Since the ad says you're supposed to I still think we should as to not take advantage of the program. You can use your own judgement! Thanks for letting us know!

******

You do not need to purchase any additional $$ if you are only getting the rebated items that are not free.

From Scratch...

Sarah over at 8-Muddy Boots is reporting each
Thursday how she did each week making things from scratch!

I started my journey on this back in November.
I started with this bread and have not looked back!

I am loving trying to add something new each week that I
used to buy in a box or already made from the store.

This week I continued to work on my pizza sauce. I can't wait
until garden season when I will can my own tomato sauce!
I also made a honey syrup that was delicious on this homemade
french toast.

****
If you don't make much from scratch, don't be afraid to dig in.
Take 1 item per week and figure out a way that works for you to
make it from scratch. I really don't think I spend much more
time in the kitchen than I used to! It's cheaper and so much more delicious!

Head on over to Sarah to see what's cooking
from scratch around the blog world.

In His Word Wednesday - Peace

Fruits of the Spirit -- Peace


Proverbs 14:30
A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.

Mark 9:50
"Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with each other.

1 Thessalonians 5:13
Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other.

2 Thessalonians 3:16
Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.

And my favorite...
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

What has God been teaching you lately.

Do you have a prayer request?
Do you have a Bible verse that has stuck out to you?

Homemade Pizza Sauce Improved!

I posted the Pizza Sauce I was
working on here.

I've continued to work on it
and I'm a lot closer to our perfect mix.

Here's my new recipe...

2 cans of tomato sauce
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp. honey

Mix and simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes.
Stir often. Makes enough for 2 pizzas.

***
I'm still not done perfecting this,
but it got multiple compliments from hubby!!

Next time I'm trying tomato paste and maybe
1 more tsp. honey...

Someday Soon I'll get our
perfect sauce!

BTW -- If you need a pizza crust recipe,
this one is awesome!

1 Tbsp. Yeast
1 cup warm water
1 tsp. honey (or sugar)
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp. Veg. oil
Mix and add 2 1/2 cups flour.
Mix well.

Cover and let rise 15-25 minutes.
Spread on very large pan or 2 smaller pizza pan's

Homemade French Bread and Honey Syrup!

I can say that EVERYONE loved the French bread
I made for French Toast!

However I can't say that everyone loved
my honey syrup to go on the top.
BUT I DID!!!
It was soooo Yummy!
Too bad my hubby and kids don't love honey taste like I do!!

Recipes...
Homemade French Bread

Here is the original recipe.

Here is what I did...
1 1/4 cup Hot Water
2 tsp honey (or sugar)
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp yeast
Mix together, then add
3 1/2 cups bread flour.
Mix and Knead.
Put into greased bowl and
Let rise until double

Separate into 2 loaves, knead a little,
and place on greased cookie sheet.

Cover and let rise until double.
Bake at 375* for 18-25 minutes

Cut and use as French bread with Spaghetti OR
make french toast like this!!! YUMMY!

I also made Homemade Syrup from honey...
It you love honey try this!

1 cup honey
1/4 cup butter
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp maple flavoring
Combine and heat, stirring often.

Hubby said he liked it, but
preferred regular syrup. I much prefer this
honey syrup!!

Next time I'll try regular syrup from
scratch. I'll use regular sugar, but
at least I can pronounce all the ingredients and
they'll be NO HFCS!!

****
Later today I'll share my
new and improved
Pizza Sauce...
It was Really GOOD Saturday night!!
