    I'll never forget in Anne of Green Gables she says something about being in the depths of despair and asks Marilla if she ever gets like that, and Marilla stops and says to her, "to despair is to turn your back on God". I think of that a lot when I feel like bad about something.

      I just started to re-read Anne of Green Gables! I missed such books from my youth and modern books are pure trash these days.

      @uwsupergirl 10 місяців тому +2

      @@ebgbjo2025 I love the Anne of Green Gables books. I still reread them on occasion as an adult, as I also re-read the Little House series. After my husband died, reading anything too heavy anymore is just too much for me. But when I want something light and easy to read, I actually read I guess what you'd call "Amish romance novels". Beverly Lewis books mostly. I pick them up at the St Vinnie's stores usually for about .50 cents. Clean stories that are just feel good usually! Of course, they aren't always very accurate about Amish culture, but I don't take them as fact- I know they're just stories.

    Hey Janine - no one was born a good baker, it’s all about practice. I’ve been baking for 58 years and even now I occasionally mess up. Here’s a few little suggestions 1. Keep your yeast in the freezer, only taking out only the amount you know you’ll use 2. Try your Mama’s recipe in a small quantity first, once you’ve mastered the process then double or treble the recipe 3. Mix the ingredients on a gentler speed 4. Did you allow time for the dough to “proof”? 5. Ask your Mama to come over to your house and watch what you’re doing as you’re doing it. Rome wasn’t built in a day, you’ll get there. Best wishes from London, England.

    Aw, your little ones are so sweet! It is precious how children are so forgiving. They don't demand perfection. They are so understanding and way less critical of us than we are of ourselves. You are doing an amazing job as a mom, bringing Jesus into the everyday. I saw so much of that in this video. Your persistence, determination, letting them help you and be a part of the process, acknowledging yet accepting when things aren't perfect, etc. They will never forget all you are teaching them by example. May God bless all of you in a special way today!

    • @theMennoniteMom

    Stir a tsp of yeast in a bit of warm, but not hot, water and see if it foams up in about 5 minutes. If it does it should be good. Be sure your bread water isn't too hot, like stingy to touch, it will kill the yeast if too hot. Plus, use enough flour so it's not sticky.

    I make my own bread all the time. I have had a beautiful high loaf when I put it into the oven, however, it fell during baking. I did some experimenting and found that my problem was too much yeast. Rye bread is my favorite to make (in fact, I baked a beautiful high loaf this afternoon. For 3 1/4 cups of flour, I use only about 1 1/4 tsp of yeast. You may a little more than that. I would recommend cutting back on the yeast and you may find that helps! I, too, love the smell of fresh baked bread!

    Dear Janine,
    Thank you so much for making such a wonderful video, i enjoyed it so much! I love baking and i used to have loaves made with freshly milled flour always come out a flop too. But then i started watching some bread making videos put up by Grains in Small Places (a youtube channel). She taught me how to now make the best loaves ever now! You can try watching some of her videos on bread. All you need to do is knead to the window pane test. It is when you knead till the dough can stretch so you can see light though it. Please try her way of making bread and you will not be disappointed!

    Don’t force yourself into the kitchen……invite yourself into your kitchen. I also wanted to give my girls the memories of fresh bread baking that I grew up with. I bought a bread maker!😳 We started making bread dough and dough babies were born! Each girl got a glob of dough and they made dough babies, decorated with nuts, raisins and seeds. My oldest daughter was high energy and it was so exhausting. I remember going out on my back deck and saying how many times can you run around the yard? Recently Poppa and I got out our camp chairs and asked our granddaughter….how many times can you runaround the yard? 😅Grace! Give yourself some grace!

    Hi Jannine, freshly milled whole wheat flour takes longer to rise than white flour. I would let it rest for a longer time (up to 8 or more hours) so that it can rise properly.

    I JUST read a quote from St. Bernard to his priests: "Be reservoirs, not channels." A channel lets all the water flow through until there is nothing left. A reservoir has water coming in from a source beneath and only gives the overflow. Spiritually and parentally (is that even a word?) speaking, we can't give what we don't have and part of this passage I was reading spoke about how we can't really have a truly Christian "active" life without a "contemplative" life. We will only be channels if we aren't talking to God and praying and listening and learning or aren't doing that enough. We will be giving the best of our limited, frail humanity and it will reach a breaking point on some days. When Christ acts through us, we are reservoirs. It isn't our work. It is His and we are the instruments. His presence is flowing out of us. This really struck me. So many times I got frustrated by the actions of my kids without seeing the spiritual dimension of any of it. Now I recognize that holy people see: "God is letting me see how I want my way." "God is saying let go." "God is asking me to be patient." "God is asking me to trust". "God is asking me to change directions here." etc., etc. Where I saw two people in a situation, me and the child, God was actually there. Sure I wanted to teach God's values, but that is not the same. God have mercy. Sorry about the bread, but evidently it still tastes great! I only started baking bread last year so all that comes to mind is either the yeast was old or the bread needed to rise longer. When the bread is rising, I read it should be covered and in a warm location. Was your bread covered? In a warm location? Also hate gossip and slander. Learning more and more why God loves silence. Still, I would let a school age kid open his heart and talk about anyone and anything. Especially in this day and age. I would just try to interject a more loving/ kind/ unbiased way of seeing things that brings faith into the mix or helps him to see the ways of the world he needs to beware of. All the best!

    Thank you Jeanine for the ponder talk.... We do need to hear that from time to time. Life is real and we do fail.... But its so good that we dont have to stay there. Through God's grace we can rise up again with courage and strength... Why is it that so often we rely on our own strength? And use Jesus as our spare tire????
    On the other note... I looove yeast doughs and am experimenting sourdough now for a while but to be honest I could not pinpoint what you could possibly be doing wrong. I normally use my bosch mixer for my doughs and my mother inlaw taught me that you want to add flour till it just sticks somewhat on the bottom of the bowl. For sourdough though you want the dough to be a bit more firm. I love using farmhouse on Boone sourdough sandwich bread. Very easy and hasnt failed for me yet where other sourdough bread recipes have been fail and success ☺️

    Hey Jeannie I hope your having a great Friday!
    I love the talk about God and to spend time with Jesus through out our days.
    I feel the same exact way about thinking I know everything about parenting, however I don't. I need Jesus every day because He knows our children and ourselves and how to guide us.
    Media and social media makes this "perfect life" such as the perfect way to live and raise your kids. It's a generation of "I" and self care.
    I agree that we should take care of our selfs but we ultimately need to give it all to God! And not being selfish.
    I hope also you and your husband get more quality time as I mentioned last week. We also can lean on our husband's in time of need.
    Thank you Jeannie for your constant reminders that I need to hear weekly!
    And a side note: your daughter walking is sooooo cute! What a cutie!! How old is she now? I have a 17 month old son and he started walking at 13 months.
    I hope you have a blessed weekend!!!! Much love from Arkansas! God bless you!

I needed to watch this tonight... I feel like certain ppl bring out my complaining/ gossip a lot & I don't like that attitude. I've been asking God to change my heart & help me with grace not only bcuz I am that yelling parent but also as a wife bcuz my husband works so hard to provide for us & is so good at always being there for all of us... he deserves a calm & understanding wife...... thank heavens, nobody is perfect, tho! 😂😊 God bless your family, friend ❤

    I love how you talked about bringing God /Jesus into out daily lives especially with our children. I wish you were around when I was much younger trying to raise two little boys n teach them the grace of God. Unfortunately you weren’t a twinkle in your Mama’s eyes yet. I have to complaint you though you said it beautifully. But it doesn’t mean we can’t live better today in bringing Jesus in our lives daily n give Him the glory.
    Wish I could help out on the bread problem but I’ve never made bread although I have made lots of coffee cakes. But I do cheat. I buy the frozen dough you get at the grocery store.
    Can’t believe Xander will be starting school this fall n Lexie is walking all over now. Mom’s hang onto those precious memories they grow up fast.

Every video each week she looks older and her hair gets blonder!!! She is walking great!! She was certainly fascinated with the process. She's so cute. Loved it!!! Xander starting school!! Wow! His remarks about the bread were great!!! Loved your God and life talk! Keep them coming!!! You all enjoy all that bread and eat a bite for me cuz I can't have bread anymore!!!

    I went through a phase when all of my bread flopped and it was the yeast!! Even though it wasn’t expired and it smelled right when I was preparing it… it still flopped. I switched to red star (quick rise) in the jar and… bam! Mama baking skills are back!! Maybe you got a bad batch of yeast 🤷🏻‍♀️ either way… my whole family LOVES you and yours. You are an inspiration ❤

    Honey or sugar is important in bread to rise nicely and enough flour to not fall in. We all make mistakes. I like it that you can still go on with life even though you didn't have good luck. I grew up being very un thankful when something didn't work out good. I had to train myself otherwise.

    Try making just 1 loaf at a time… 1 flopped loaf isn’t as disappointing as 6! Start with a very basic recipe: 1 T yeast, 1 cu. water, 3 cu. flour, 1/4 cu. honey & 1/4 cu. oil. Use a metal bread pan and check for doneness with a meat thermometer. Should be done at 190°.

    The Bible tells us and these are Gods own words. I have no greater Joy then to see that my children walk in truth. And I ask God what brings you joy because I know the Joy of the Lord is my strength. I remember the scripture Let God be true and every man a liar. So I call out to God for his examples and not my own. So I keep reading Gods Words and I am strengthened. By the way I have had bread flop too. Yet more recently my breads have not been as well as in the past. With ingredients less is always best. There are many different ways you can use bread that does not turn out so well. God Bless😇

    I have a lot of family recipes with vague flour measurements. I always love, "as much flour as it takes", LOL. Measure the flour that you used the next time you make this. Write down how much you used. See if you like the end product. If you like it, you are good to go and you know what to use going forward. If not, make a note as to what you didn't like. Then you can adjust when you make it in the future.

    What was the weather like that day? Have you heard that cloudy/rainy days can affect rising? I guess barometric pressure. Maybe your issues were more severe than the weather could affect, I'm not sure. And did you proof the loaves at no higher than 170°F before baking? Grandma said have the water at 114° when activating the yeast so as not to kill it and that is hot enough.

    Ok. There are a lot of possibilities, what could have gone wrong, with the bread. If the liquid is too hot, the yeast can partially die, which is what came to my mind first. But when your son (sorry, don't try to spell his name wrong) broke the bread, it seemed that the dough was a) too wet b) it had not been baked long enough for such a soft dough. You don't most likely have those breads, but you could have sliced them and made them to home made rusks. Rusks are usually dried here of super soft breads.
    However after the second batch I was pretty sure, the problem is in the grain, that is not very good for baking. This quality of grain is petter for porridge or other cereals. My mother used to work in a grain mill in testing grains, and she says that each grain patch used to have their own qualities, and that is why they tested all the patched. Both the type of grain, and its growing conditions could influence what kind of grain ended up being. This grain might not have enough or good enough quality gluten, which is protein that makes the structure in bread and dough and so helps it raise. The bread is edible, but it does no raise well.
    You can either use those grains as a cereal, porridge or make a flat brad with them. Or you can mix in other patch of grains, after which the mix might be off better quality. Hope this helps.

    that looks like chicken food! Test your yeast-add some honey and warm water and make sure it's bubbling good- I always proof yeast- for two loaves I'm using 2 1/2 tsp yeast, mix with honey and about 3 1/2 cups of warm water. Set that somewhere warm. Then I place about 6 cups flour with 1 to 2 tablespoons of salt and mix that together. Then add the warm water to the flour & salt. My amounts aren't exact- I go by texture. Once mixed, I cover with towel, place in warm spot, let rise til about doubled. I use floured hand to punch down. It's pretty wet dough, so I use spoon to turn out onto heavily floured board, then work more flour into it, divide into two, place into greased pans with some corn meal on bottom. Cover again, then let rise until at least at lip of loaf pans. You can brush on egg wash if you want. Add pan of water to oven and preheat to 425 then bake in preheated oven til golden brown and hollow sound when you knock!

    Always check your yeast (with some sugar ir honey- it needs something to eat to release the gasses) and your water temperature is very important. Too hot kills the yeast and too "cold", well, imagine a cold winter morning are you wanting a nice hot/warm shower or are you okay with a cool/cold shower? I don't remember if you added your salt with your yeast, that might kill it, too. Don't worry about it, you'll be whipping out the bread in no time.
    As for your Jesus in the daily life...yes, every single second of the day we need Him. That's where people fail, when people think they can function without Him. The sooner we realize that we mess life up without consulting Him about the big, the small, the in-between...the better off we'll be because we will seek Him more.
    My husband has Multiple Sclerosis and he's on disability. To make ends meet better, he fixes chainsaws and lawnmowers on the side. When he drops a screw he can do two things, 1.) Attempt to find it 2.) Go to the hardware store around the corner and buy a new one. In order to conserve costs, he searches. Now his area is not messy, but it is full, so it's not easy. He will look for a while trying to find screws. When he can't, he prays, and he ALWAYS finds them. I always wonder why he doesn't pray first.
    If we believe in God, we should believe God. Trust Him, He will NEVER steer you wrong.

    The yeast needs sugar to eat. And salt stops the yeast. Maybe try the yeast in a bowl with the honey and warm water for 5mins before you add to the flour and salt mixture.
