Whole Wheat Tortillas



This is the second time I made these. The first time was a mess I cooked them too long and they turned out to hard and unbend-able. I think I got the hang of it this time. I dont think I will ever buy a store bought tortilla again. Note: Eat these within in 2 days or else they get dried out, at least they did here.

  • 2C wheat flour (I used white wheat from the cannery)
  • 1t Salt (we dont do a lot of salt so I omitted this, you could add garlic or other seasoning for flavor)
  • 1t baking powder
  • 4T canola oil
  • 2/3 C water
  1. combine first three ingredients
  2. quickly stir in water and oil
  3. when dough can be gathered into soft mass, turn onto floured surface and knead a few times.
  4. Form 8 balls of dough cover with a towel to prevent drying until ready to use
  5. Flatten first ball into disk
  6. Roll out dough on floured surface until 7in or larger (turn over frequently)
  7. Place tortilla on ungreased pan (I used a hot plate it made it go faster) preheated at med-high
  8. cook 15-20 sec on each side. First side should be pale and sprinkled with brown spots and the other side will be blotched (you cant really under cook but you can over cook. You want them to still be soft when you take them off)
  9. Put in a storage zip lock bag or on a plate with a towel on top to keep them soft.

This is Royce's favorite game right now. I have even got a giggle out of him a couple times! He is officially 2 mos now. He is just as sweet as can be. He has aquired a couple nick names. I catch myself calling him Chubbers alot. Luke asked the other day what it meant and I said it means he is a little bit fat. Luke then scolded me and told me not to call him that any more cause it might hurt his feelings. Lol! We also call him Roy, Tank or Tankers. James informed me that Royals Royce made the first tank or tank engine (something like that) so I think the nickname suits him.

Conference Journal For little Ones


I made conference baskets for the kids with a juice box, crayons, a small (quiet) toy and a conference journal. I also got a bowl of Cheetos and told the kids whenever they heard the word apostle they could get a Cheeto. Luke loved it and was watching and listening intently. I think Bella was still a little young cause ever few seconds she would say "I heard the word apostle" and go take a Cheeto.

So I saw this great idea to do a conference basket for the women you visit teach. I put in a notebook/pen, cinnamon rolls, poptarts, conference bingo with jelly beans.

So I was trying to find some cute ideas for little kids to get them more excited about conference and I found a great links. This is a little journal you can print off for them to work on Click Here. My plan is to make them each a "Conference Basket". Hopefully I get around to it this week, I will post pics if I do. Check this out its so awesome! The kids wanted to watch this over and over.
