Bake Mas Week 2
Alright y’all it’s week two and we are going put the peddle to the meddle. Tomorrow I will release my schedule and a video review of week one. In two weeks Christmas will be here.
Friday Devotional
Psalm 127:3
3 Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him.
People our children are under attack. There are people who want to make pedophilia legal by lowering the age of consent. There are groups who want to add P to the LGBT. This can’t happen. In the video from Shaking Your Head Productions, you see how our children are being taught about “Self Touch”. Disgusting! They talk about a new channel on YouTube which is trending and it is being directed toward children. It is awful! It’s the glorification of Satanism with all the horrors that go with it. Like drinking blood and more. Never in my life did I ever think I would see such garbage being directed toward children. While videos like this one and others are going to be closely examined this other garbage goes unchecked by YouTube.
The video by Shaking My Head Productions will shock you into the reality of the attack on our children. It is happening all over Youtube and the child warriors are doing nothing about it. Meanwhile, cartoons like Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss. The sexualizing of children has got to stop. All of this must stop. Our society is an offense to God in Heaven and His Holy Son Jesus Christ. As a survivor of child sex abuse, I can tell you it takes years to recover from this. Sometimes kids never recover.

Thursday Sales
It’s time to look at the sales and who has the best sales on baking supplies. Remember, no need to buy fancy name brands. They are expensive and they are no different than the store brand. Yesterday I did a video on the impending food crisis. Please use these sales to stock up on things like flour, sugar, corn, potatoes, and soybeans if you eat them. I will leave you a link to the video below.
2019 and 2020 Possible Food Shortages
Aldi’s
They have a great line of chocolate stocking stuffers. These are cute and they are delicious. They have traditional German treats like Stollen. Their baking supplies like brown sugar and confectioner’s sugar are $.89 a bag. Stock up.
Meijers
They are killing it on 10 for 10 sales with the 11th item free. Stock up on your staple foods. I did a video yesterday about the upcoming food shortages. This is a sale you need to take advantage of. They have Karo corn syrup for $1.49 when you buy 5. Grab them while you can. You can use corn syrup in the place of sugar. Try to focus on staple items like flour, sugar, butter, and whatever your family eats on a regular basis. Try to avoid the premeasured things like cookie mixes. I know they are tempting, but not worth space they take up.

Kroger
Complete flop! The only sale they have in their paper that is worth going for is Barilla pasta which is 10/$10. That’s it! https://www.kroger.com/weeklyad
Wal-Mart
Again a flop! If you want to shop for toys and unless junk you will throw out by summer in for a treat. However, it’s a flop.
Items needed for a well-stocked kitchen:
Dry Pantry
Potatoes Peanut butter
Garlic Tuna – preferably in water
Condiments Evaporated and Condensed Milk
Oils Vinegars
Veggies Pasta (Take advantage of 10/$10 sales)
Grains Beans (mainly dried)
Dried Fruits Breadcrumbs
Spices Herbs
Stock or Broth Liquid Smoke
Baking Supplies
Sugar & Molasses (make your own brown sugar)
Flour – All-Purpose Baking Powder and Soda

Refrigerator
Veggies Dairy
Eggs Salad Supplies
Blueberry Bread
Wednesday, and day 3 of our Bake Mas. This is a simple bread you could give someone for shoveling you driveway or clearing snow from your sidewalk. It will make great toast in the morning. I am using a bread mix which means all the ingredients are pre-measured. I just spread butter on the inside. Then scatter dehydrated blueberries across the bread.
Bake it off at 350 for about 20 to 30 minutes. Cool and serve. In the morning slice then toast. I am sure Antonia will be surprised when she gets home and sees it. Below will be a link to a recipe for basic bread machine bread. If you don’t have a machine, don’t worry. Y can still make this bread. This is just eh way I did it this time.

Apple Limeade Concentrate
For day 2 of Bake Mas, I decided to do a concentrate. This concentrate would make a great gift for that person who loves copycat recipes. It tastes exactly like the Sonic Apple Limeade. So delicious. I adjusted the sugar because I felt like the apple juice was going to be sweet enough with just 10 cups of sugar. I used a copyrighted recipe but I did find a similar to it on Pinterest. Simply switch the strawberries for apple juice and use less sugar if you choose or more if you like.

$250.00 Cookies
Monday, December 2 and let the baking begin… Today will be the $250 cookies. I am sure y’all have heard about the lady who went to Neiman Marcus and was charged $250 for the recipe to a cookie she really loved. If you haven’t here it is in the cliff notes version. A lady visited a Texas branch of Neiman Marcus. After her lunch, she had a cookie for dessert. She loved the cookie so much that she asked for the recipe. When December’s bill from her credit card came there was a charge for $250. She called Neiman Marcus and inquired about the “mistake”. They confirmed not only was it not a mistake, but they charge $250 for that recipe all the time. She decided then and there this wouldn’t happen to anyone else. So she did exactly what I would have done in her place, copied it, and spread it as far as she could. Flash forward thirty or so years and here I am about to show you how to make the cookies, but give you a link to a recipe which is very similar. Please, go over and let Michelle know I sent you. I would appreciate it because that is how these channels grow.

Bake Mas 2019 Vlog Mas vs Bake Mas
Vlog Mas with Kiera (50 Shades of Mom) and Vanessa (Lemonade Mom) do a great job with this. I am not going to tread on them. Their decorations are fantastic. They put so much thought into the whole experience. Bake Mas will focus on the Baked goods, and candies.
Baked Goods we will be doing:
(Blueberries, Cranberries, and Chocolate Chip)
Cookies
Quick bread and Muffins
Doughnuts
Candy:
Fudge (chocolate and Peanut butter)
Treats: Fruity Pebbles Treats (I saw these and thought about Christmas.)
The last Thanksgiving I spent with my late mom’s mother we made Cashew Clusters. I remember this fondly because it was the only time I ever got to cook with her. I have walnuts and pecans so I will share this.
