hi my name is Katie and I love talking about Jesus and the Bible homemaking baking and anything creative and today we are restocking my kitchen I’m going to be making some granola blueberry muffins and some kiche and these are all gluten free I know this from scratch do it all.
Yourself is really popular right now and I think it’s very lovely but I also think it can be overwhelming if you’re sick or really tired or have a lot going on and for me today that was everything all of those boxes were checked for me I want you to know that you should always do it at your own pace and not feel bad if you can’t do it all in one day I did.
It in 2 days and I didn’t do it back to back I also wanted to make some yogurt too but too many things were going on and it’s been a week and I still haven’t made any yogurt making things from scratch is supposed to be enjoyable in my opinion it shouldn’t be a burden or something like you.
Dread but also don’t put pressure on yourself to have this Disney princess experience where she looks amazing and she’s doing everything thing because that’s also unrealistic you know there’s laundry to fold rooms to clean people to feed and toddlers to chase chances are you’re not going to look or smell cute but enough.
Chatter let’s get into the video so first I made some granola with mixed nuts and some cranberries I’m using pecans pumpkin seeds and cashews but you can use whatever you’d like I have a video with the recipe in the description up in the cards if you want to try any of these recipes you can head to the description and sign up for my.
Newsletter and you’ll be the first to know when my gluten-free cookbook comes out some recipes I do already have on YouTube and Instagram but some like the blueberry muffins crackers kishes pies pancakes those are all in my cookbook plus more if you want to support my channel you can grab a copy when it comes out and it would mean so much to.
Me now I am just getting my chicken ready I’m going to wash it off with some water and also put some frozen lemon rinds in the water normally you can wash your chicken off with vinegar um to get the raw flavor off of it but I didn’t have any um so I was just using my frozen lemon rinds and just letting that sit in the water and the lemon rinds for.
A while while I get the garlic chopped up and get all the seasonings ready and then in the meantime just going about the rest of the baking for the day this is going to be for dinner that day and to put inside the kiche and leftovers for another day as well now on to some blueberry muffins lately I’ve been feeling really.
Rushed and tired and I’ve been needing to slow down I feel like I have so much going on and if you feel this way one thing I would recommend is to B something of course if you like baking put on some nice music take a shower put on a nice outfit and bake.
slowly dim the lights if it makes you feel better light a candle don’t burn down your house that will stress you out more really slow down not answering your phone taking a walk outside these can really help in those moments and like I said just slowing down and baking one of your favorite things at your own pace in.
No rush at all maybe turn on a movie instead of the music and then finish the movie with a bite of what you just baked it will feel rewarding and relaxing next up I’m making some kiche it tasted so yummy the crust was so.
Good um it was really nice making this kiche it was relaxing and it was so rewarding like I said it tasted so good if you guys want to see more cooking videos definitely let me know cuz I love to bake and cook and I love to make videos so I would love to make some more cooking videos so let me know if you’re interested in.
That I think also we can talk about um like the reason behind cooking things from scratch I love making things myself I find it really rewarding um and I also need to make things from scratch because when I eat processed food s it doesn’t like when I eat processed foods my body can’t manage it so I will feel really really tired.
I’ll be in a lot of pain and so it’s kind of like I have to make things from scratch so um I like to enjoy it and like I said it’s it’s enjoyable for me because I love to make things I love to do things myself um I love to make recipes myself whenever I have a recipe I always change something in it because I want to make.
It my own and that’s one of the fun things of baking you can always make things your own if you’re gluten-free or wanting to be gluten-free um tips I would give you are to First find things that are naturally gluten-free so not things that you can buy in a store that are gluten-free but.
More like fruits and vegetables meat if you eat meat Dairy if you eat dairy one of my go-tos are smoothies I love having smoothies if I had to eat one thing for the rest of my life it would be a smoothie cuz they’re they’re so easy to make they don’t hurt my stomach and they taste good they’re cold they’re refreshing and they’re.
filling also this is a first time I’m making kiche like actually I’ve never made kiche myself before so I had pan fried some chicken and now I’m just shredding it up I’m going to add some cheese and caloo and the shredded chicken to the kiche girl.
It tasted so good I’m excited to make um um like a dessert though so like this is more of a Savory dish I want to make uh like a key lime pie I want to make lots of Pies can you tell I’m so excited I love baking I love making things I said that like 3 million times.
Already okay another thing I would say um for gluten-free baking is to always bake more than you think you need kind of so like if it’s just you like bake 12 muffins you know what I’m saying and then just wrap them up freeze them make sure it’s in an airtight container because gluten-free things can get dry um so you don’t want to leave them.
Out in the fridge that will totally destroy any gluten-free baked good that’s not true but generally um yeah another thing I want to say is that as you can see I poured way too much um of this mixture into the kiche but it’s not a big deal like just I was just scooping it back out and like I said it.
Tasted great and no complaints so I say that to say that everything doesn’t have to be perfect and you don’t have to know what you’re doing all the time or be like really professional or anything because you you’ll never be a professional if you don’t start and make mistakes and keep going you know what I’m saying so if baking or cooking is.
Intimidating I’ll be the first one to tell you I hated cooking and I did not care to bake at all and I only started doing that when I got married and that was 6 years ago um so if you don’t like to cook don’t worry you can start to cook and you can find ways to make um it Pleasant ways to make it nice.
For you you know making the things you really like to eat I think that would be a great place to start so I just put this kiche in the oven and then I went and took shower I really hope you guys enjoyed this video I hope it inspired you to get.
In the kitchen but also enjoy it life is best when we slow down and enjoy what we do rather than rushing and worrying sometimes we just have to slow down and take in the process and accept it for what it is mistakes no mistakes whether that be something not turning out right baking with little kids or just life it’s not going to be picture perfect but.
It can still be enjoyable and a great experience see you in my next video
