Happy Healthy Wifey's Podcast

Where is the website?  What happened to the podcasts? What is the future like? 

I know my website has been down and I'm working on it. Please enjoy the podcasts for now :) 

Gluten-free sourdough bread is easier to make than you think! Plus making your own gluten-free sourdough bread at home saves you lots of money compared to buying it at the store. The recipe I came up with has protein and fiber so this bread is actually good for you and it's not an empty carb! Pair this with my balanced weight program at www.happyhealthywifey.com

Happy Healthy Wifey’s Handmade Soap Making Class

Soap is made by mixing fats and oils with lye between 110-120 degrees. 

Figure out your measurements of fats, oils, lye, and water. This is for a double batch where each single batch of soap should have 32 oz of fats/oils. 

Lard: 40 Oz. multiplied by Lye ratio of .138 = 5.52

Olive Oil: 24 Oz. multiplied by Lye ratio of .133 = 3.192

----------

 (Which we rounded to 8.7) Lye =  8.712

Each batch of soap is equal to 12 oz of water. For our class, we did double batches so we used 24 oz of water. 

Mix the Lye with the water. The water will warm up to 180 degrees. Only sprinkle Lye on top of the water slowly while mixing. 

Warm up the fats mixed into a pot until they are liquid and dissolved together. 

Mix the lye water mixture with the fats when BOTH measure close between 110-120 degrees. 

Blend the mixture until it becomes thick enough to watch lines form when your move your blender. Add your scents and pour into the mold. 

Pregnancy is amazing, but even a healthy pregnancy is hard work. I want to be real with you and share the experience! I want to share how amazing the journey has been and what I do to have the best pregnancy I can.
