Helen Can't Imagine

Helen Can't Imagine

Pleasant words are a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. Proverbs 16: 24
This channel is a legacy for my children. I hope they will find comfort in watching these videos when I'm gone. Y'all can come along while I share stories about my life, cooking, and baking. My channel is " Helen Can't Imagine" because I have aphantasia.

    I used to make good biscuits when I lived in Tennessee but when I moved to California you couldn’t get self rising flour or meal either. And when I tried to add the extra ingredients to make them it never turned right. So I gave up.😊

    Years ago, I used all-purpose flour and added baking powder and salt when making biscuits. It was always different from self-rising. I exchanged some messages with Mrs. Peaches. She's a sweet lady.

(coconut pecan) so spread that on it. It was delicious! I love Martha and that's how I found you. I stepped out of my comfort zone and started my KZread channel last year. Take care! 💖

    I’ve never had potato salad with all that in it. I might not like it with olives though 😊 I like the green ones but not too many at a time. The way I like to do it is to boil the potatoes and mash them up without the skins. I hate potato salad with hard chunks of potatoes. A couple eggs, dill pickles, onions, bit of mustard and celery if I have it and of course mayonnaise.
