Homemade Flour Tortillas - Frugal & Easy

I figured since I have a stockpile of all of those Tortilla Stuffers , that I need to learn how to make homemade tortillas. I found some great recipes online and they are very easy and frugal to make.

3 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
about 1 cup of water

Stir together the dry items and the gradually start adding the warm water until the mixture gets kind of crumbly. Start working the dough with your hands until it holds together. Put out on the counter and kneed it until it is smooth.

Divide it into 12 pieces that you need to shape into smooth balls. Let them rest for about 10 - 15 minutes.
To roll out each ball you kind of flatten the ball down and then roll it out until it is about 9 inches round. Carefully peel it up and place it on a preheated griddle or good heavy frying pan. Right away there should be blisters on the tortilla , turn it over and press it down with your spatula , turn it over and press down again. do not let them get too brown and if they do start to get too brown turn the heat down. Stack the cooked tortillas inside cloth , like a towel and put them into a plastic zip-loc bag to steam them.

See how easy that is. Now anytime you need some tortillas you can make them for almost nothing and easily.

Roku Is The Best Thing I Ever Bought!

I love our Roku!!! It is the best thing. I shut our cable off and now just have this little powerhouse of a box that is better than cable. I have the Netflix on it, so that means we just pay 7.99 a month for watching movies etc on the Roku box. The Roku has tons of free things on it too, like news, games, Crackle, weather, and more. My favorite it the Justin.tv ap that I found for it and you can watch anything you want to watch on it. For FREE!! I can watch Foxnews, Alex Jones, The Walking Dead (LIVE on Sunday nights) and so much more.
Now, they are having a sale and you can get one for $49.99!! Wow! That is a great price. This would be a great Christmas gift!!


TONS OF FREE PRIVATE ROKU CHANNELS LISTED HERE!!!

Convert An Electric Sewing Machine To Non-Electric

I often wonder what I would do if there was no power and I could not sew! I love to sew! So I did some searching and I found some really great post online about how to convert your sewing machine into a treadle. I think this is a really cool idea. If the crap did hit the fan this would be a good service to be able to offer others also, be able to sew things that people would need. Like diapers, clothes, blankets, etc. Trade that service for something that you need.

I found some great links and info on How To Convert An Electric Sewing Machine To Non-Electric With A Treadle (Foot Pedal) or Hand Crank and some other great info by searching on Google. Might be something that someone can do if their electric one is broken. I wish that I had found this info before I threw my broken one away. :(

Homeschooling a Toddler

I have been having so much fun with my little one this past year. He turned 5 in September and it just seems like in the past year he has gotten to be smart. He still like numbers better than letters and I have really had to find some super fun games and some movies to get him interested in even trying to learn his ABCs! He finally knows them and loves rattling them off to anyone and anywhere!! Now I have to tackle the learning to write and learn to write his name etc.
Most of my homeschooling worksheets and information comes for FREE from the internet and the library. I also have been lucky and have gotten great textbooks and workbooks at thrift store for almost free , children's books at our Goodwill are 50 cents. I have been buying them even if they are for grades ahead. I have most of what I will need for up to the 6th grade.
I am wanting to start a homeschooling group in our small town so that we can all meet and the kids can meet and help each other. I really think that would be a good idea. We could even go on "field trips". Go to museums , zoos, etc. Save money on gas etc. Most of the museums and places have lower group rates.
