Hi, Reader, How's it going? My mom and I spent last weekend in Washington's tulip country. I just needed a break and knew that staying in an old farmhouse would do the trick. Little did we know...that we would be about 2 miles from the biggest tulip farms in the area, 4 miles from the most wonderful little town filled with antique shops and thoughtful small businesses, and surrounded by beautiful sights. It was such a special experience and honestly, I'm sad it's over! I could gladly go back to visiting bakeries, exploring new places, hunting for antiques, and admiring flowers every single day. Have you ever been? If not, the tulip festival might be worth adding to your bucket list! I could easily visit the fields every week to watch the blooms unfold. Since I've been back, I've been dreaming up lots of new recipes for the blog. With the first of the season rhubarb trickling in from the fields, I just can't wait to start baking! With Easter, Mother's Day, and lots of spring gatherings coming up, I wanted to share a few simple options to share. As a self-taught home cook and baker, I've spent most of my life really looking forward to holidays since you finally get a chance to bake! This is a great time to find a recipe that calls to you, give it a try, and see what you think. P.S. I just published these cardamom blondies yesterday. They're made with my homemade cardamom extract and cardamom sugar, and taste incredible. They're crispy on the edges, and wonderfully chewy on the inside, Have a great weekend!

Hi, Reader, If you're new to living a more self-sufficient life, I highly recommend learning how to make a few pantry staples. It's amazing how powerful it is to know that you can make most of the items in the grocery store. From seasoning blends and extracts to leavening agents and even brown sugar, you can make-do with just a few basics. Plus, they're easy. Most require just 1-3 ingredients, so truly anyone can make them. So, you get a little confidence boost, skip the trip to the store,...
Hi, there! I'll keep this brief - strawberry season is HERE, and those juicy little gems deserve pride of place on your dessert table. My recommendation? This Strawberry Snack Cake. ๐๐ฐ It's buttery and just sweet enough, topped with strawberry whipped cream, then garnished with even more fresh berries. You get layer after layer of strawberry goodness in every bite! It's like strawberry shortcake...in cake form. Get the recipe
Hi, Reader, Do you grow any herbs? I'll be honest - I wasn't that interested in them when I started gardening 11 years ago. I usually focused on basil and cilantro since you need those for pesto and salsa! But over the years, I've added more and more. Parsley, chives, mint, rosemary, oregano, thyme, bee balm, dill, sage, and probably more I'm forgetting. I love watching them grow, I love running my hands through them, and I love preserving them to enjoy all year long! Fortunately, herbs are...
