Cathy Reviews Battery Operated Flour Sifter

 

Battery Operated Electric Flour Sifter

I wanted a sifter to make it a little easier when I had to sift a lot of confectioners sugar for cookie making.

I bought this particular sifter from Amazon using an Amazon gift card given by my daughter and thought it would be perfect for my baking adventures.

All you need to start it up is 2 AA batteries. It holds 4 cups of flour and vibrates to sift. The cleanup is super easy, just rinse but don't immerse the whole thing in water.

I made a video so you can see how it works.

FAILED RECIPE - Low Carb Simple Sandwich Bread


Low Carb Simple Sandwich Bread from Cooking for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet cookbook with Kayla. Kayla, Rhonda's lovely assistant, gives her review of this recipe and she’s not holding anything back. If it’s not obvious by the title that she thinks the recipe is a FAIL. 


Here are the ingredients and directions if you’d like to take a stab at making it. 

  • ¾ cup nut butter (almond, cashew, etc.)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ¼ cup finely ground nut flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. In a bowl, use a spatula or mixer to blend the nut butter, eggs, and honey until creamy.
  3. Add the remaining dry ingredients to the batter and blend until creamy.
  4. Pour the batter into a baking pan. Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  5. Let cool and slice. Seal and store at room temperature for a few days, in the refrigerator for a few weeks, or in the freezer for a month or so.

Kayla’s Thoughts

The recipe indicates the writer uses a 3½“ x 7½” loaf pan. I didn’t have that, so I used whatever was the smallest one in our kitchen. The loaf ended up being very short, not anywhere near sandwich height, because of the too-large pan. This is just the beginning of its problems.

I followed the recipe other than the loaf pan size and the bread was beyond disappointing to me.

The cookbook claimed it was perfect for sandwiches, rolls, and toast, but it’s not. It’s way too nutty.

I expected some nuttiness given the ingredients, but it’s overwhelming. There’s no bread-like taste. I couldn’t even begin to imagine a sandwich using this bread.

I attempted to make French toast with it- still no. It is just too weird. Maybe I’ll alter the recipe a bit next time and give it some spice.

I will say, the texture is like other quick bread, and it baked up just fine. The flavor just isn’t right for me. 

Overall, 1 star. ⭐☆☆☆☆

Have you tried low-carb bread recipes? We'd love to hear from you and maybe even give us your thoughts on the review.

Stay safe and sassy, 

Sassy Silver Sisters 🥰

DIY Birthday Cake Boxes for People in Need

***UPDATED 1/27/24***


I stumbled upon this Birthday Cake Box for the needy on Pinterest and thought what a fabulous idea. It’s super quick & easy to make and donate to the food pantry/people in need. 

The Dollar Tree and Walmart have the cake mixes and frosting for just over $1 and lots of paper products and inexpensive party supplies. For just under $10 you can make them for your local shelter or food pantry. Kids get a kick out of helping and it also makes a great service project for scout groups and church ministry groups.

Here's what you need to make a Birthday Cake Box:

  • 9x13 Disposable aluminum foil pan with a lid, it's helpful to have the lid for packaging and delivering purposes.
  • 1 box of cake mix, any flavor you like 
  • 1 can of lemon-lime soda (in case the recipient doesn’t have eggs or oil)
  • Birthday candles
  • You can add birthday napkins, candles, a banner, etc.

  • Did you know that you can make a delicious cake out of nothing but a box of cake mix and a can of lemon-lime soda? When my granddaughter was little, her momma made her cake with soda because the precious little one had an egg allergy. You wouldn't have known there was no oil or eggs. 

    Not everyone may have eggs and oil on hand. It would be disappointing to get a birthday cake box but you didn’t have the other ingredients to make it? Adding a can of lemon-lime soda along with a little note giving simple instructions on how to make a cake, will make someone's day.

    If they do have eggs & oil, the beverage is a bonus.🙂


  • You are welcome to print the instructions below to put on your Birthday Box. 

  • PDF for you to print

    We hope you enjoyed this blog post and may you be a blessing to someone in need too. Comments are appreciated. 

    Keep it sassy,

People want to change for the better. We all can use a bit of motivation, so I'm sharing some motivational quotes that might help you in your journey to a better YOU. Maybe even they will give me the boost I need to stay motivated.

1. "Failure is not the opposite of success: it's part of success." - Arianna Huffington


2. "Approach the New Year with resolve to find the opportunities hidden in each new day."
