Delicious Keto Hamburger Buns


Delicious keto burger buns recipe


Just made these and they are so good !

Here is the recipe for keto-burger-buns


All you need is Mozarella cheese, cream cheese, eggs, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and parchment paper or a silicone mat for baking. Oh and melted butter to brush on the top.

RECIPE IS HERE:

This went together really fast. While melting the cheeses I was leary. How is this going to turn into bread, I wondered.

Once the eggs and almond flour was added I scooped up 6 handfuls and plopped them down on the pan. The butter is for brushing on the top before baking.

I preheated the oven to 400 degrees
and slid the pan in for 10-12 minutes adding 2 minutes for a golden brown finish. Your times will vary.

Here is what I got.

Baked to a golden brown.
Keto Burger Buns.




These buns smelled like cheese bread
and tasted like cheese bread. The texture was perfect. They held together under the big strong hands of my husband. He really loved his hamburger.



These buns were light and fluffy
yet sturdyenough to hold together.

A Farm Girl's Gloves



My box of gloves. 


A farm girl's gloves are her best friend throughout the year.


There is a glove for every chore and activity. I didn't realize how much I use gloves until I misplaced the box clearly marked "GLOVES" with a permanent ink pen. I have been making do by borrowing from my husband and buying new pairs now and then. This morning while cleaning the hallway closet, I found the box on a shelf at knee height. What a joy to be reunited with my box of gloves !

Meet my gloves :




My Cold Winter Gloves


I own a rugged pair of gloves built for a cowhand with rough leather lined with softness to protect your fingers and hands in the freezing cold. When I look down at my hands on a corral gate I feel like a rancher or cowgirl from the old west. These were my first winter gloves in Utah. They are great for wiping away snow from the backs of llamas and hay stacks. Unlocking gates and dialing a phone can be near impossible so I take a glove off to unlock the latches and put the glove back on.




Thse gloves are good for watering
 or any wet chores.



These warm sweater knit type gloves with the rubberized palms and finger tips keep your fingertips dry and they are great when watering your herd and flock. There is nothing that is good about getting your gloved fingers wet on a cold, single digit morning.



Use gloves with Thinsulate reflects the
 heat right back
 into your hands and fingers.



Thinsulate is best for keeping your hands from freezing. It reflects the heat back into your fingers. Once my hands were painfilled with bitter cold, not even the barn heater gave me comfort. My fingers were numb. But put a pair of working gloves with thinsulate and the hands warm up very quickly. I do have a a slight size issue with these as the fingertips are an 1" longer than my own.




Driving and Parade Gloves



I have a sort of fancy work glove that is a creamy sort of leather for driving the tractor and the four-wheel buggy, we call it. They have a bit of smudged dirt on the underparts from running my hands on the wheel. I do have a clean pair that are good gloves for the parades.




One of my favorite pair of gloves
with the purple trim.




My mid-weight gloves are flexible and serve to warm my hands when weather first turns cold. These also make good weeding gloves. I have 4 of these. Some with splits on the inside of my fingers from grasping tumbleweed or mallow stems and worn spots on the finger tips from pulling the earth this way and that to plant. Here are two of the pairs below.





Hail to the all-purpose glove for gardening, weeding,
feeding, and most any chore.



This mid to lightweight glove also serves as protection from the sharp dry alfalfa stems, baling string, and the equipment when we take the bales off the trailer and onto it's place on the pallets. These are good for feeding hay to the llamas.



I do love my gloves. When I do not wear them my hands are rough as unpolished wood and I cannot feel any soft or silken surfaces without feeling my skin pick at the fabric like a hundred cactus needles.  

I am so glad I found my box of gloves. All is well in my world.

The Eagle Tree




Making whole wheat bread
www.LittleUtahFarm.blogspot.com




I was making some Honey Wheat Bread ( recipe in Whole Wheat Honey Bread post ) one afternoon when Paul, my husband, came home early from work and whisked us off to see something special. He wouldn't tell us what it was. Last time he showed us a whole herd of llama and another large herd of deer grazing just around the country corners of our neighborhood. I was excited to see what he had in mind.  My hands were caked with flour. But there wasn't time to clean up. I knew by experience everything  changes quick around here and I best get going.



The camera and coats were pulled of the hooks by the kitchen door. We hopped in the white F250 Ford Truck and headed on down the road. The truck turned into the driveway of the farm on 3000 North.  Paul pointed off into the distance. "Eagles!"  The Eagle Tree boasted 4 or more Bald Eagles looking out over the snowy alfalfa fields for food. I tried to get a picture but they looked like tiny dots in the lens. Paul took the camera and took off to get a closer view. As Ricky and I waited in the truck, Paul climbed over the green gate and made his way down the lane. It was a long walk down the lane. There was a wind break of tall red winter willows to his left. The dirt was wet and soft from the melting snow. He approached the end of the lane and turned right towards The Eagle Tree till he got to a fence. We saw him snap some pictures.

We saw him turn south past the fencing and kneel down amongst some rabbit bush. "What is he doing, Grandma?" asked Ricky. Just then we could see the beautiful chestnut red horse approaching him. "Grandpa has a way with horses" I said. And we watched him do his magic.


After some loving pats on the horses nose and neck and some kind affectionate questions, he snapped a picture of the horse. The eagles wings spread open and off they flew in to the sky. He and his new horse friend, wandered back down the lane together. The horse knew his boundaries and stopped halfway down the lane and returned to his pasture.

When we got home I cut the bread dough in half and let it rise on a tray near the floor heater in the living room. In an hour I slipped the loaves into the hot oven. Everyone knows the smell of home baked bread. The house was filled with the scent of it. For dinner we had hot soup, homemade bread and a high spirited conversation as we recalled how grandpa came home and whisked us off to The Eagle Tree.
