Time to Restock Your Pantry π«β¨

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, and control the quality of ingredients all at the same time. That's my kind of thing! I'm sharing some of my favorite pantry staple recipes below to help get you going. P.S. Do you have a recipe you'd like me to add to the blog? Or topics you want me to cover in these emails? I'd love to help! Just send me a reply to let me know. :) DIY Pantry StaplesβHow to Make DIY Baking Powderβ β βHow to Make Brown Sugar from Molassesβ β βHow to Make Whipped Honeyβ β βVanilla Infused Maple Syrupβ β βHow to Make Dill Saltβ β βEasy Homemade Vanilla Bean Pasteβ β βHow to Make Sugar Cubesβ β βHomemade Vanilla Bean Sugar {3 Ways}β β βHazelnut Granola with Maple & Cinnamonβ β βRoasted Pecan Butterβ |

It always feels like a breath of relief after the busy, chaotic heat of the summer! But yesterday, my friend Hannah and I hosted a party that was a breath of fresh air in and of itself. She mentioned the idea of an outdoor reading party a couple of months ago, and I was sold. What a great way to...
Hi, Reader, How are these long last days of August treating you? It's funny...as a blogger, I have a whole schedule for sending emails and talking about just the right topics, but right now, I feel like I need to step out of it and talk about something else. (Don't worry - I'll share recipes and helpful links below, too). I'm exhausted right now, and I wonder if you might be feeling the same. There's just so much going on, my to-do list seems piled higher than ever before, and I literally...
Hi, Reader, It is blackberry season here in Western Washington! The edges of our fields and forests are COVERED with invasive blackberry brambles (plus some of the native ones, too). Although it isn't exactly a good thing...it does happen to be a delicious thing. Every summer, my husband and I usually pick 4-6 gallons of blackberries to wash, dry, and freeze for winter cobblers and muffins. They're basically free food! But, there is nothing quite as lovely as coming back with buckets of...
