๐ซ Homemade Pantry Staples
|
Hi, Reader, Are you trying to be more hands-on in your kitchen? Sometimes we call it self-sufficiency, which it is in a way. Sometimes we call it being frugal, which it can be (not always). But for me, I always see it as a chance for creative expression. I really think that's one of the things that separates me from other bloggers and content creators. I'm not all about the cheapest of everything ever (for better or worse), and I still layer in and practice many, many old-fashioned skills. But, at the end of the day, I make these things because I enjoy it. It just feels good to make things! I love turning one ingredient into something else. Sometimes it's because I don't want to take a trip to the store. Other times it may be because I have too much of a fresh ingredient on hand that I need to preserve. Or, more likely, maybe I just need a moment to slow down and focus on something tangible. Whatever the reason, these recipes are a great place to let your creative juices flow. โHomemade pantry staples are typically very easy to make and often quite forgiving, so they're ideal for beginners! Hope you find something fun to make this weekend. Thanks for everyone who completed my survey, too! I really appreciated all of your responses. โRoasted Pecan Butterโ โWhipped Honeyโ โVanilla Bean Pasteโ โHomemade Chai Spiceโ โHomemade Strawberry Extractโ โHow to Dry Chives in the Ovenโ โHomemade Sugar Cubesโ โDIY Baking Powderโ โHomemade Vanilla Extractโ |

Hi, Reader, Okay, so I'm a little bit of a nosey person. I LOVE reading comments on blogs and just seeing what other people say or think. (This can be entertaining sometimes when people substitute 5 things and don't understand why the recipe failed...) But, I especially love seeing comments on my blog and these reviews all made my day. Want to see what they said? Fresh Milled Flour Pancakes "These tasted delicious! The buttermilk was the star of the show. I wasnโt paying attention to the...
Hi, Reader! Happy 4th of July! I'm sure your weekend is packed with festivities, but I wanted to pop in to share a couple of NEW things with you. First, I have a new recipe on the blog! It's been such a hectic year that this is the first recipe I've published in like months... But, it's one I love, love, love. These raspberry crumble bars are the perfect berry-packed, not-too-sweet treat I love this time of year. We gladly eat them on their own, but they're also great with a scoop of ice...
Hi, Reader, After teaching myself to garden over 12 years ago, there is one type of plant I wish I'd planted earlier - fresh herbs. ๐ฟ I was working at a farmers market at the time, and I was way more interested in vegetables. I wanted heaps of tomatoes, zucchini, onions, and more. If I grew any herbs, it was usually basil or cilantro to use in pesto and salsa. This wasn't a bad idea in any way. I was growing what I knew I would use and enjoy! But here's the thing...herbs can shift how you use...
