I have just come across a recipe for making your own baking powder. Love it! Just this past New Years, us wisemommies made a cheese, meat and dessert foundue, together, for 9 people. We used baking powder for some of the recipes and talked about possibly finding a substitution, since most commercial baking powders contains the aditive aluminium sulphate, as well as, genetically modified corn.

Well, at New Life on a Homestead, I came across a recipe just for that. Now, I haven't tried this receipe, plan to soon, but let me know how it turns out for anyone else who tries it.

For 1 cup of baking soda, mix…

• 1/4 c. baking soda
• 1/2 c. cream of tartar
• 1/4 c. cornstarch or arrowroot (optional: only necessary if storing; anti-caking agents)

Or, for a much smaller batch…

• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp cream of tartar
• 1 tsp cornstarch (optional)

She also has a nice post on baby sign language.

Also linked up today with Jen Ferguson over at Soli Deo Gloria finding heaven today and Laura at playdates at wellspring. I enjoyed reading through several of Laura’s posts titled “playdates with God” (catchy) and found them all very calming and sweet.

Could be a nice place to find some encouragement for a quiet time.

Jen at Soli Deo Gloria has a category, with numerous posts, on grieving which is just fantastic.
