Dry Laundry Soap Recipe

I have had many people ask me if there is a dry laundry soap recipe. Well, it just so happens that my sister-in-law has one. It is very similar to the liquid laundry soap. I have tried it and it works just as well as the liquid and is less time consuming to make. I had Casey sit and grate a whole bar of fels naptha and we tripled the recipe. For other laundry tips, refer to earlier posts.
I have had a few people tell me though that the dry laundry soap does not dissolve well in a front loading machine.  If you use a front loading machine you can try the liquid laundry soap.

Whole Wheat Waffles

I got this recipe from my mother-in-law. She found it in an old World War II cookbook. My son LOVES them! It makes about a dozen whole waffles. It says it's a 4 person recipe, but really it's enough for 12! We just freeze them and take them out as we eat them.

Mix together:
4 C Fresh Whole Wheat Flour
8 t Baking Powder
1/2 t Salt
4 Eggs (or 1/4 C powdered egg and 1/2 C warm water)
3 1/2 C Milk (or 1 1/2 C powdered milk and 3 1/2 C warm water)
1 C Olive oil

After mixing, pour desired amount into waffle iron and enjoy! (This recipe can be used for pancakes too!)

*To use up that oatmeal and for even more flavor add these ingredients to the waffles: 1 Cup oatmeal, 2 t cinnamon, 1 t vanilla, 2 scoops flax seed (no extra liquid needed)
