So I did a thing where I took a simple recipe and adapted it with a few changes and… aw hell.
I have been teaching myself to bake. First it was biscuits, then it was Focaccia, and now it’s this weird West Virginian thing called a “Pepperoni Roll.” I’m goaded into it by That Girl I Know, so blame her. It’s comin’ on the Holidays, and as the newly minted baker in the Taggart family it’s up to me to keep the table supplied with tasty shiznit. So today being a day off for me, I decided to do some experimentation.

Another recipe adapted from Wellness Mama:
Another really good homemade cleaner based on a recipe from Whole New Mom:
Combine in a general purpose spray bottle. Shake well before using, the corn starch will settle to the bottom of your container.
From Wellness Mama, a simple and amazingly effective scouring powder recipe:
Combine and keep in an airtight container or mason jar. Great on kitchen and bathroom fixtures. Add a few drops of essential oils if you need a nice smell, make sure to shake thoroughly to combine. May settle over time, so always be sure to re-shake your compounds before use.
