Angelina's Soaps

Made this today! YUMMMMMMO!!!! Here is a short with the easy recipe.

BEST Banana bread EVER and it's dairy free! #recipe #budgetfriendly #snacks #food #recipe #baking

It seems like the kids are always hungry! We love to eat veggies as snacks but I'm going to be honest. Veggie snacks are always better with ranch. Having to buy organic ranch was such a pain. They all have avocados which my husband can't eat, so I found this recipe and tweaked it.
Dairy-free or not it's absolutely delicious!
So here's another 1 minute YouTube short with how I made it.

Skip the crap from the store. Dairy-free ranch dressing! #food #nopreservatives #snacks #homemade

My vanilla extract recipe. Super pumped for this one with the price of vanilla going up higher and higher. I was able to find the beans online for a ridiculously amazing price. Check out etsy ;). Totalled $14 for over 8 oz of vanilla bean extract. That's far better than my 1 oz bottle for $6 from the store.

PS I love using old bottles of kombucha and other glass bottles and jars. When you start doing things like sourdough, homemade milks like I've been making at home, and things like extracts they make a huge difference. After this recipe is done I'm going to be putting them into smaller bottles that I've saved up from a trip to cracker barrel a few months ago with some friends.

Simple tests to see if your lids have sealed when water bath canning.

How do I check to see if my lids sealed? Water bath canning #apple #foodpreservation #food #canning

Time to learn a new skill! Water bath canning. I found the best apple butter recipe and I am so excited I get to can it today. Here's a peek!

These were fun!!! The kids loved the "big reveal." I chose to make soap colors that they asked for. I definitely need to make more of the greens and aquas next time.

Experimenting with colors today... The kids are going to love opening up the soap and seeing what colors are hidden inside. Here's to Summer⛱️🌞

Candle Success!

Just dropped some fresh soap videos on YouTube Shorts! Been swamped managing my clients' socials, totally slipped my mind to share my own stuff. Check it out!

SUCCESS isn't always sweet. Sometimes is salty 😊

Sourdough Foccacia!

Lesson learned:
Best friends give you their starter

We have had some big things happen the last few weeks. Looking forward to getting back to soap making this week. Until then here is some truth to set your sights no this morning, as we reflect on what this week really means for the Believer, AND Unbeliever.

🍞Houston we have SUCCESS...
A hard lesson in fermentation type of success that is! Apparently messing with the ratio in the starter and attempting to fix my mess up (measurement wise), led to my starter succumbing to mold.

Started seeing light brown spots on the top of it, and absolutely no rise.

🥳BUT the success lesson in all of it was to "Always use a friend's starter." You get ahead much faster together, and learning from those who have gone before you. I tried for many years to do things on my own. It took moving to a foreign country to learn that I NEED community.

Thanks Jessica Anne Fox for helping me & giving me some wisdom AND my new best gal pal Alex for the starter :). Love you ladies!

Btw the photo is TOTALLY not my sourdough. It's a canva photo!

2 Gallons of Coconut Oil 4 the WIN!

Look forward to making more soaps this week. I am officially out of the scented soaps so am restocking. Until then I have unscented soaps available in different shapes. Thank you 2 those of you who have placed orders via fb messenger & WhatsApp!

The Lord spoke to me so sweetly tonight while I was preparing some soaps. My mess up he turned into a miracle.
