Cathy Reviews Battery Operated Flour Sifter

Image
  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.  ***************************************************************************  Would you like to help us do reviews?

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 Preheat oven to 350. In a bowl, use a spatula or mixer to blend the nut butter, eggs, and honey until creamy. Add the remaining dry ingredients to the batter and blend until creamy. 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. 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. ***********************************************
