Tomato and Onion Foccasia Bread



For this recipe, I tweaked our Basic Pizza Dough Recipe by adding into the flour:


Approximately 1 tsp each of Basil, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, and Italian Seasoning.




Roll the dough into a rectangle shape to approximately 1/4" thick. Lightly press tips of fingers into the dough to make dimples.




Spread dough with a mixture of heated Olive Oil, Pressed Garlic, and Basil




Place sliced tomatoes and onions on top.




Bake in a preheated 425* oven 8-15 minutes. Keep a watchful eye on it!




You can top with cheese while it is hot.

I usually tweak it in some way or other ... to our liking.

Our Dogs Eat Healthy, Too

We love our dogs!
Our dogs are not just dogs! They are members of our family...our pets...um, more like...our children.
We love our dogs!
We consider ourselves blessed to have them in our homes.
We strive to be good stewards of their care.
We love our dogs!
Therefore, they, too, eat healthy.
We have found a brand of food that is organic and GMO free, so goodbye Purina!
We make their treats, so goodbye Milkbones!

Did I mention that...
We love our dogs!

Birds in the Begonias

We were noticing some bird activity on our front porch.

To our excitement, we found this:




Everyday, I would go out with the camera, reach it up to the hanging basket and take a picture.

One day I picked up Little A and told him to look at the eggs. He told me he didn't see eggs, but birds.


This little one is HUNGRY!


It was really amazing to watch all this up close.



Papa and Mama Bird took very good care of their little ones. If Mama was off getting food and the babies got restless, Papa would fly in from either a close by tree or the utility wire above our driveway (where he kept vigil). He would perch himself on the basket hanger and look into the nest, checking on his little ones. He would lift his head and chirp several times, then fly away, back to the tree. A few minutes later, Mama would come and feed them.




Oh no! They are really getting to be daredevils. The one at the top left is looking out over the basket.



This past weekend, 2 1/2 weeks after they had hatched, I noticed only 3 birds in the nest. I wondered what had happend to the the other 2, hoping they were ok. Then we watched these 3 fly off into the trees.
AMAZING!
Blessings to you~

Welcome to our New Home

I had to change our name because Manna Milling Moms was not available.


I sure am hoping this new domain will be more user friendly to this techno-challenged person.

Not sure how to transfer all of our stuff from Homestead. I will give it a try. If it doesn't work, I guess I'll just delete it and start all over.

Thank you for stopping by.

Blessings to you~
