Spinach Bread and Sewing Lessons at Camp Mimi


Each Monday I have the honor and pleasure of spending an entire day with the daughters of my daughters, a second generation of beautiful "little women. "

Today at "Camp Mimi" we made crock pot cauliflower soup and 1-2-3 Spinach Bread. Then we practiced sewing on my vintage Singer -- the very machine I threaded as a young girl --  back when I could see the teeny-tiny hole the thread goes through.


As my contribution to the Farm Chick Chit Chat Bread Bake-off, I'm sharing the "bread" recipe we made today.  It is from Suzanne Sommer's book,  Fast and Easy  Actually, it is not bread, per se. It is a bread substitute for folks limiting their carbohydrate intake; and since it contains absolutely no flour, it is also good for people eating a no-gluten diet. My 13-year-old grand-daughter will demonstrate that spinach bread can be made from three ingredients in less than a half hour, including bake time.
Here goes:













("Variation: To make a whole loaf of this bread, triple the ingredients and pour into well buttered loaf pan. Place pan on baking sheet and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes at 350 degrees. A whole loaf will yield 12 slices. Use what you need and ; wrap well and freeze extra slices or loaves.")

Pin It!

    I think I'll try this, too. Your old Singer is great--they were the best machines!

    I love how you are enjoying your time with your grand daughters. We just had our two grand daughter a couple of weekends ago. I taught the oldest who is 7 how to do the back stitch. She loved it.

      Brenda, when we were finished hemming a curtain and making a little mock shirt with a scrap of fabric, I told her I had taught her about all I know! She LOVED sewing. We're going to have to find her a teacher.

My Father's Words

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud, it is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." Love never fails
