February is the perfect time to be in the kitchen... It was suggested that we work on self sufficiency, but since so much of that is geared for fall harvest.. how about we jump into:

1) Farm Kitchen ~ Know your food
AND
4) BakeOver MakeOver

For additional info on these requirements click here...
http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/farmgirl-sisterhood/merit-badges.asp

you'll notice we changed the format on the page... I love it.
Also as a reminder we have the Young Cultivators page up, you can check that out too.http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/farmgirl-sisterhood/young_cultivators.asp

Okay, so who is joining me in the Kitchen????

Delicia - the Farm Kitchen mag was a special edition of the MJF magazine that has tons of recipes for the budget mix plus, of course, the usual inspiring articles and pictures - it is well worth having!!
Rene - I am in on the badge - I actually am just about done with some aprons but my computer is old enough that I can't use it to send pictures anymore, even if I transfer them to a disk the harddrive won't deal with them....sigh.....
So I will have to concentrate on some badges that don't involve pictures for now

Hi
Have my first 2 aprons done and getting started with ideas for designing the last one. Will post pictues when I can figure out how to. January just blew by! Here in NC enjoying our little snow event, so great sewing weather. Plan on joining you all again in the "Kitchen."

I posted on the original badge-in thread too, but I am new to the sisterhood - I haven't even gotten my number in the mail yet! I would love to work on some badges though. I'm going to try and catch up on the beginner level apron badge while I work on this one too. My local chapter is going to draft full apron patterns this month, so I'll hold off on a full apron.
Once I get my number I can order the Farm Kitchen issue too. Anyway.. I'm here. Hi!

Wow N@n that sounds yummy... but kind of hard on my diet! (gotta lose, doctor's orders). Anyone have a lighter BakeOver recipe to try? The few issues of the magazine I have don't have any BakeOvers, only ChillOvers.

I did however, turn in my info for the Cleaning up - Shopping Green - Beginner and Intermediate levels today. It was my first badge!

Hi Chris,
I make a thinner crust and just add lots of veggies with a homemade tomato sauce. I will try and post some recipes today, so give me some time and then check back.... Congrats on the "going green badges". I have a few to submit too, but I seem to have lost my "round-to-it...LOL

Oh, I hate when my round-to-it disappears. I can't seem to find it in my sewing room lately. A few baby quilts need to be sewn up soon but I just haven't done them yet.
I took the plunge and used that awesome February Sisterhood discount and ordered the Farm Kitchen issue of the magazine. I also got one box of the Budget Mix to try out. And while I was there I ordered the Ideabook (have been searching locally for WEEKS and can't find it), the Artists in Aprons issue and some ChillOver Powder. I figured I'd just combine all that shipping on one order and have all I need for several badges/projects at once. I saved $4.40 on the Farm Kitchen magazine - just exactly enough for a box of ChillOver Powder!
My library has a copy of Animal, Vegetable, Miracle so I'll be picking it up today for the "Know Your Food" beginner level.

Okay here we go~
The basic recipe is as follows:
1 1/2 Cups MaryJanes Organic Flour (I use 1/2 wheat/ 1/2 white) when I make it.
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
3 TBS butter
1/2 cup water
Mix dry ingredients. Cut in Butter. Add water, form dough into a ball, and roll out top crust.

In a skillet brown meat, and saute your veggies. Place the rolled out dough on top of the cooked meat and veggies (or whatever you want in your Bakeover). Bake for 20 minutes or so in an over that has been preheated to 425

There are no limites to the different combos one can create. It will be fun to see all the great creations. My family love I do using MJ's Scones Mix and peaches. I place peaches that I canned in a cold skillet, sprinkled some loose MJF flour over it (to firm it up) Mixed the scone mix, rolled it out and placed on the top, cooked for 20 minutes and served with homemade Ice cream.. YUMMMY!

If you dont have a skillet that can go into the oven you may want to check out the ones that the farm offers for BakeOvers http://shopping.maryjanesfarm.org/s.nl/sc.2/category.18/.f#Utensils

I have the large one, but need to invest in the small one as well as my chicks are quickly flying the coop and I dont have to feed as many.

I have tried to use a glass casserole dish, but you will have to experiment with the timing and temp as I had trouble finding the right comination.

I made up a bakeover last night after reading this thread! You guys are great. I used one of the recipe's posted on the first page for the crust. I used leftover potatoes and carrots from a roast I made earlier in the week, left over green beans, left over gravy and chopped up a sirloin steak and cooked it in the skillet. I mixed all the ingredients together, stretched a crust over the top and Voila!!!! Dinner!!

Now, is that actually a bake over or did I just re-creat beef pot pie? :)
