Make Your Own Foamy Soap

Go here to see an easy way to make your own foamy soap. Thanks Money Saving Madness! This is a great money saver! I tried this today and used the Dawn Hand Renewal Dish Soap that I bought at K-Mart several months ago during the double coupon days. I think I paid less than $.75 for a 22 FL oz. bottle. Another idea is to use the hand soap that is left in the bottom of the container that won't come out of the pump. I never know what to do with that. I don't want to waste it and throw it out but I also don't want to try to pour it out when I need to wash my hands. Leave a comment if you have another great tip or idea for making foamy soap!

Irish Soda Bread Recipe

We had fun baking Irish Soda Bread today. We will have this with our Crockpot Corned Beef and Cabbage tonight. Here is the recipe for Irish Soda Bread:

2 cups All-Purpose Flour

1 cup Whole Wheat Flour

2 teaspoons Baking Powder

1/2 teaspoon slat

1/2 cup Sugar

2 Eggs

1 1/2 cups Buttermilk or Plain Yogurt

Directions: Preheat Oven to 350 degrees. Place the baking powder, salt, sugar, and both kinds of flour in a bowl. Stir in the eggs and buttermilk (or yogurt).

Next, sprinkle a little flour onto a clean surface and knead the dough 10 times. Shape the dough into a loaf. Grease a loaf pan ( I prefer to make bread in stoneware.) with cooking spray and place the dough loaf into the pan. Bake for one hour. Allow the bread to cool before removing it from the pan. This recipe feeds about 12 people and maybe 1 or 2 leprechauns!
