Amish Friendship Bread

Amish Friendship Bread fragrance is the aroma of fresh baked bread with notes of raisin, nut, and strawberries.

A recipe for Amish Friendship Bread is located below.

Amish Friendship Bread Recipe

When making this bread, do not use metal utensils or containers.

  • 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, divided
  • 3 cups white sugar, divided
  • 3 cups milk
    1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Let stand 10 minutes. In a 2 quart container glass, plastic or ceramic container, combine 1 cup flour and 1 cup sugar. Mix thoroughly or flour will lump when milk is added. Slowly stir in 1 cup milk and dissolved yeast mixture. Cover loosely and let stand until bubbly. Consider this day 1 of the 10 day cycle. Leave loosely covered at room temperature.
    2. On days 2 thru 4; stir starter with a spoon. Day 5; stir in 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup milk. Days 6 thru 9; stir only.
    3. Day 10; stir in 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup milk. Remove 1 cup to make your first bread, give 2 cups to friends along with this recipe, and your favorite Amish Bread recipe. Store the remaining 1 cup starter in a container in the refrigerator, or begin the 10 day process over again (beginning with step 2).

Chai Tea Cup

Nothing can be more calming than a soothing cup of chai tea.  This candle is guaranteed to calm you down after a stressful day at work.  Everything from the design, to the color, to the scent screams relaxing.  Well, it doesn’t exactly scream relaxing.  Screaming isn’t relaxing at all.  I suppose it whispers relaxing.

Top 10 Father’s Day Gift Ideas

With only one week until Father’s Day, shoppers are up against the gun!  If you haven’t picked out a special item for the Dad in your life, I urge you to check out these gifts created either by myself or by my Twitter followers.

#10 – Voluspa Makassar Ebony & Peach 3-Wick Tin

This gift sits in a beautiful, masculine case.  Makassar Ebony & Peach is a blend of warm ebony and rich mahogany with mirabelle peach.

Presented by @CandlesOffMain

 

 

#9 – Pair of Caribbean Coconut Scented Candles in Vintage Glasses

This pair of candles may not be the most masculine, but the scent of Caribbean coconut works for everyone.  Who doesn’t love a good Pina Colada?  This can transform any area into a tropical dream land.

Presented by @Vintagebcandles

 

 

#8 – Wooden Incense Smoke Boat – Blue

I absolutely love this beautiful boat.  This hand carved boat would look great in any office or den for the Dad’s that are looking to class up the joint.  A beautiful product!

Presented by @Hot_Radish_Ltd

 

 

#7 – Set of 6 Citronella Tea Lights

These citronella candles are fantastic for any guy who loves the outdoors.  If your Dad loves sitting outside on the enjoying a cup of coffee, these citronella candles will go a long way to keep those mosquitoes at bay.

Presented by @Caroleol

 

 

#6 – Antica Farmacista Vanilla, Bourbon & Mandarin 100ml Petite Diffuser

The scent of bourbon should get any man’s attention.  The sweet richness of warm Vanilla is paired with Mandarin of Sicily, a crisp full-bodied citrus fragrance. This is a great gift for any father looking for a glass of Evan Williams.

Presented by @CandlesOffMain

 

#5 – Fresh Brewed Coffee

Most Dad’s I know have to start the day with a good cup of fresh brewed coffee.  No Dad will be able to resist lighting this candle in the morning.  It will make your kitchen more fragrant than brewing a full pot!  Mug style may vary.

Presented by @TheCandlemaker

 

 

#4 – Cafe Mocha

If your Dad like the Fresh Brewed Coffee, odds are that he’ll love the more decadent Cafe Mocha. The aroma off of this soy candle will give you that caffeine rush with just the right amount of chocolate to get your morning’s kick started.

Presented by @TheCandlemaker

 

#3 – S’mores

Fresh off the campfire, this candle combines three flavorful scents: graham cracker, chocolate, and toasted marshmallow. The camper Dad will be transformed to days back to building fires and telling ghost stories to his kids.  Enjoy all of the scents without the gooey hands!

Presented by @TheCandlemaker

 

#2 – Smell My Nuts

If that title doesn’t scream Dad than what does?  The complex combination of banana nut, toasted hazelnut, and coconut of warms any room.  Plus, the Dad with the sense of humor won’t be able to get enough!

Presented by @TheCandlemaker

 

 

#1 – Hillybilly Beer

There is no question that this is the undisputed #1 gift for Dad.  Coming home from a hard day at work any Dad would love to kick back with hoppy scent of a Hilly Billy Beer.  Watch the stress melt away!

Black Star Tea Cup

The Black Star Tea Cup blends the femininity and elegance of tea drinking with the masculine scent of Dude.  As our friends over at Vanilla and Lime said during their recent review of our product, “Ladies, you know when a gorgeous man walks by you and you breathe in the smell of his muscles, cologne and manliness? Well that’s what “Dude” smells like, it made us weak in the knees. We imagine it’s what Michael Fassbender smells like.”
