Snow day seemed like a good time to do some baking. 🍞❄️ Hadn’t made focaccia in way too long, so I took the opportunity to try @kingarthurbaking Recipe of the Year, Big Bubbly Focaccia. Super easy, no fussy ingredients, turned out soft and squishy, and lives up to its name. I’ll be making this again to go with tomato soup, or as a vehicle for sandwiches. 😋 #bakingfromscratch #focaccia #snowdays #homebakedbread #homebaker

Our favorite Christmas tree ornaments, featuring places we love and went to this year 🎄🌟 My favorite souvenir from traveling has always been a Christmas ornament. That’s what my family always got when we traveled when I was growing up. Now in adulthood, I look for cool ornaments for our tree, too. Here are some of my favorites, featuring some new additions. Can’t wait to add more in 2025.🎄 #christmastreedecorating #christmasornaments #christmasdecorating #travelsouvenirs #christmastree🎄

I haven’t made Forgotten Cookies this year (yet…?) but they are a Christmas favorite among my family and friends! Little clouds of meringue filled with mini chocolates, baked low and slow, until perfectly dried out and slightly chewy. Honestly… amazing. Recipe pinned in the comments! #christmasbaking #meringuecookies #christmascookies #holidayrecipes #holidaybaking

This year’s new garden addition: luffa! Each y

This year’s new garden addition: luffa! Each year I like to add at least one new thing to our garden: a new variety or whole new plant. This year that honor went to luffas (and butternut squash but this post is about luffa). We put up a trellis in the back of our garden, planted a couple seedlings, and hoped for the best. The plants grew quickly and produced more than a dozen gourds, which I’m now drying and processing into sponges. How amazing is it that we can grow our own household items right in our backyards? Here’s to growing even more next year. #gardening #luffa #growyourownveggies #gardeningideas #growyourfood #homegardening
