How I Make Pastry Dough Cinnamon Bite Size Rolls...


Living from Glory to Glory Blog


This is a wonderful yummy cinnamon bite
 That you make from a pastry dough.

I like to make these when I am making pies,
Because instead of using yeast dough, you use the pastry.
I just make a double batch of my pastry dough up when
 I am going to make my pies.
 So, while I have everything out,
 I make up these yummy treats!

Or just make this dough just for the cinnamon bites!
I have sweet memories of these because
 Every time I made up my dough for baking pies,
My Children, would help me make these cinnamon bites.

I think Children love making and eating these, because
They get to help make up the dough and rolling it out and
slicing them up is their favorite part!

These are a very cute treat to use for a tea party with your 
Little ones! It is fun to plan tea parties with them.
As these are times we can teach a few social graces...
Even the little boys love;
Tea Parties!

Pastry Dough
In a mixing bowl, add;
2 cups flour
3/4 tsp. Salt
2/3 cup shortening or lard or butter
(I have tried them all)
Set aside your liquid of;
1/3 cup ice water

Now, cut in your choice of above ingredient.
It should resemble clumps of dough;
Now, add your ice water and make your dough up.
These will make up enough dough for a 2 crusts pie.

Roll out your dough as for a pie, then
Spread butter on it nice and thick,

Sprinkle some brown sugar on it;
Add a little bit of white sugar if you like.
Now shake a good amount of cinnamon on it!

Now roll it up like a big log.
Slice them about 3/4 of an inch thick.
Put on a greases baking sheet.
I like mine gooey so a pat a dab of butter
On each one, and then I bake them.

350 degrees
7 to 10 min bake time.
Or until they are lightly browned.
Take  them out of the oven and remove from pan right away,
As they really stick to the pan :(

My son is 35 and he still loves these!
Happy Baking!

Now, Serve with tea or (milk) and enjoy!

Blessings,
Roxy

Breaking, Confidence...

 

Wild Horses couldn't drag it out of me!
Can you hold a confidence?
Of something that someone has shared with you!
Being told something about someone, and sharing it, is breaking confidence.
I have been in situations where you just knew you were going to get an ear full.
There are times when I just felt prompted by the Lord;
To steer away from a group of woman!!

A woman who can hold her tongue, is very valuable!
My favorite saying that just alerts the bells is this one;
"I really love so and so" BUT...!

Watch OUT here it comes!

We have all done this Dear Ones...

What is important now, is what do you do when you break confidence??
For me, I am grateful that I get a check from the Holy Spirit!
(Remember He is ALL truth)
Firstly, when this happens, I ask for forgiveness.
Then, I come out of agreement with what I have said about that person,
Or situation...
Unless two walk in agreement, it will not be so.

Aha, So we need two who agree!

Who has not been in the crossfire of confidence being broken?
It hurts, and it wounds, and destroys lives.

There is a place for speaking truth!!
That is why we must be careful what we make ourselves privy too!

I always think of Luciall Ball when I think of that statement;
(Wild horses couldn't drag it out of me)




Now, We all know she couldn't keep a secret from Ethel Mermen!
Her best friend and her partner in crime!
See, it takes two!
Do not make a dear sister in the Lord a partner in crime!

Blessings,
Roxy

Make This Moment Count...


We are all ministering to others everyday!

First thing in the morning, we minister to the Lord!
Our first connection is a prayer spoken to Him;
Thanking Him for another day!
Each day is a gift...

How will you respond as it opens up to you?

Sometimes, even thinking too far down the road can cause
Me to feel overwhelmed!
So I have learned the fine art of taking one moment at a time!

Really living in the moment has taught me to take pleasure
in my days. I cannot control all that is going on in all the
arenas that surround me.
But, I can refuse to be robbed of the sweet moments of the now!

When I truly make eye contact with my loved ones, they know...
Sometimes we only have a few short minutes to connect
to those we are speaking to.
So make them count!
"Words do not have to be many to be meaningful"

I can only eat of the daily bread He has given me today!
When they tried to gather more Manna then they needed it spoiled!
Except, when they were preparing for the day of rest.

Make this moment count!

Blessings,
Roxy

Spiritual Eyes...


Seeing is believing;
Or would believing, be easier if we just trusted!

Can we trust when we cannot see?
Or maybe we are not looking at the right things!
Are we looking at things through our natural eyes?
Or are we seeing things from His perspective?

The woman functions from her heart!

Everything she thinks comes from her heart.
That is why she can be wounded so badly!

She responds from her heart.
That is why she can over commit to many things!

She speaks from her heart.
That is why when no one pays her attention
 She feels rejected!

The Lord knew this very thing; 
As we respond from our hearts,
 He knew what we would need,
A Helper ourselves!

We can ask for right thinking!

We can ask for wisdom of what we should be doing and involved in!

We can ask for the tongue of the learned and be comforted!

We as Women must see;
But we must see through the eyes of  Jesus,
And His Word!
Not just by what you're seeing or thinking or speaking!
Go higher Dear Ones!
We can count on Christ as our head!

Blessings,
Roxy

Quick, Easy Bread Recipe...


Living From Glory to Glory Blog,


Quick, Easy Bread Recipe!



Makes:2 loaves
Prep Time:30minutes
Proof Time:30 to 60minutes
Bake Time:25 to 35minutes
Read Through all of the directions first!

Home made Bread
Living From Glory To Glory Blog


This recipe is great for sandwiches and toast!

In large bowl add dry ingredients:
4 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups unbleached white flour
2 envelopes Fleischmann's® Rapid Rise Yeast
2-1/2 teaspoons salt
In a glass pitcher, add liquid ingredients: then heat till very warm.
1-1/2 cups water
1-1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup olive Oil
Directions:

Combine 3-1/2 cups flour, undissolved yeast and salt in a large mixing bowl. Heat water, milk, honey and oil until very warm (120o to 130oF). Gradually add to flour mixture; beat 2 minutes at medium speed with electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add 1 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed, scraping bowl occasionally. With spoon, stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. 
Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Cover dough and let rest 10 minutes.
Divide dough in half. Roll each half to 12 x 7-inch rectangle. Beginning at short end of each rectangle, roll up tightly as for jelly roll. Pinch seams and ends to seal. Place, seam sides down, in 2 greased 8-1/2 x 4-1/2-inch loaf pans. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 to 60 minutes.
Bake in preheated 375oF oven for 25 to 35 minutes or until done. I also turn my oven down to 350 degrees!
Remove from pans; let cool on wire racks. (Note: to test for fully baked inside, the internal temperature of bread should register 190oF in center of loaf.)
I do not test my Bread this way, but rather tap it, it should sound firm!
I think every Homemaker needs a tried and true EASY Bread recipe...
I have made this Bread for many years. But I thought I had lost it, I could not find it anywhere!
I googled and looked at Recipe books to no avail, This Bread recipe was not to be found anywhere!
But, God is so good because I wanted to cry and low and behold, I found it! 
It was on a back of a very old Fleischmaan's yeast package of about 30 years ago. So I am letting YOU ALL have it so if I lose it again, you can send it back to me!
Oh, and DO NOT forget the Butter on your fresh warm sliced bread!

How to make The Best in Winter Cold...





Sometimes it is just a really long day when it is cold outside!

I am really very shocked at the extreme cold temps 

We are seeing in so many parts of our country!


I believe because these are the extremes we are going to encounter!
We must learn and be prepared!

And we women as the homemakers need to have a plan and provisions!


This is the very reason we must be well stocked...

You need to take stock of which items you will need to prepare
Warm and nutritious meals!

We must also have all the provisions,
To keep things going when the power goes out!

Heat is the most important!!

Food

An oil lamp for light;

Flashlight

Candles and matches.

Water

Extra Blankets


In these winter months the snow can keep you within doors
And house bound for long periods at a time,
So;
Make your list now as a family to be prepared!
Make a list of the most important items your family needs...
This is just plain wisdom dear ones!

Having some good books on the bookshelf to read is wise!

Items for the children to make when indoors for long periods
 (A Craft Box filled with goodies)

Remind Yourself...
(A cup of hot tea)
 Does A Mommy good!


I have lived through a couple of very bad storms.
And I can tell you that because we were prepared in many ways it was
so much safer and comfortable for us!


I believe everything the Lord allows us to go through
Makes us wiser and stronger!
But, because the Lady of the home is
Still the heart.
She must learn to gird up her loins;
And;
To be ready to run and prepare and adapt to her Husband.
And for her family no matter the season or situation!



Do not get gloomy during these long
( Days and months of cold!)

Learn to knit or crochet!

Write an encouraging note to someone.

Bless and create!

Put Up a small table in your living room and start a scrapbook!

Start with some small deep cleaning projects to keep warm!
( My Hubby always says the heat is in the tools)

Read the Gospels!
Start for yourself a fun way to study the word!
Use a notebook and write out the scriptures;
Then add with color pencils to add notes and symbols to embellish it!
Makes it fun and the words just pop!

Read aloud to your children if they are young.
(They really love this)
Any sweet children's book will do!
May I suggest the Laura Ingles Books


This is a perfect time to learn to make Bread!
(It will warm up the kitchen, and everyone loves fresh bread)
Here is an Easy Recipe here!

Quick and Easy Bread Recipe

I think of the warning in the Word;
The Love of most will grow cold!!!...

May the cold not be allowed to seep into YOUR heart!

Promptings From The Lord...



Good Morning!!


I believe this is what the Lord has prompted me to share with you all today!
What good is making new year's resolutions if we only keep them, but
for but a small amount of time?

I would like to give you an idea for this season of life!

Do you know what a prompting is from the Lord?

It is an idea or thought or impression, that the Lord will
Drop into your mind or heart.
I have learned the importance of this very thing,
And as we learn to move quickly to His promptings we can
Really start hearing His voice.

By obeying these little promptings quickly will show we are listening to Him!

They usually will be little things, like check the oven!
(You forgot to turn it off)

Call your friend now!
(She needs prayer or an encouraging word)

Do not go into town today!
(You needed to be home... Available)

Do not be like those who will say;
 I need to see the writing on the wall!
This is not being quick or obedient to His promptings...

Just fill out the form below;
And wait for Him to give you another piece of information.

I believe these promptings will not be things that
are dangerous things to do, but rather may save us
from being in a dangerous place or situation!

Blessings,

Roxy
