I recently posted on instagram a picture of my new favorite hamburger buns. Homemade. So good. For some reason I often don’t have hamburger buns laying around, but always flour, so this is my go-to.

The harvest is in!! I’ve been canning up a storm around here…it is steamy work but so worth it to see the pantry fill. “Fresh” peach cobbler in February? Yes please!! Tomato basil soup all year round? For sure. Nothing liked canned goods to make you seem like a pro chef. Today I’m trying a […]
