I have loved experimenting with sage the last couple of weeks! It’s such a pretty plant with lovely blooms, but it’s also so versatile in the kitchen!
I pulled buds and stored them in olive oil for a couple of weeks, then used that to make the BEST roasted potatoes and focaccia.
My new favorite way to make butternut? Cubed in a pan with coconut oil, sage leaves, ginger and honey. Sooo good!
I have sage available now! And don’t forget to sign up for my Spring herb club if you want to learn more about this and other herbs!

Tasty Tuesday….
Chicken Tenders, fries & salad 😋
I’m going to be honest, this one isn’t quite as budget friendly as usual but it sounded good so I went for it.
I butterflied 3 chicken breasts then cut them into strips, and did a lazy breast with panko crumbs. Baked those on a wire rack over a sheet pan at 400 for roughly 15-20 minutes.
For the fries I chose the small dice option on my mandolin and put the potatoes through, you can totally cut them by hand but I wasn’t feeling it lol. Into hot oil for about 5 minutes. I don’t have a fryer so I used my cast iron skillet and stirred every couple minutes. Pulled them out of the oil and into a colander to drain excess oil, and tossed with salt, garlic powder and paprika.
Chopped some veggies and greens for a salad, threw together a sauce, and had a tasty meal that albeit not SUPER cheap or healthy, was definitely more so than if we had ordered the same thing out somewhere!
Follow along for meal inspo and more!

Does your moisturizer do all this?

Today is my husbands first day back at work from paternity leave. While we are very grateful for the 12 weeks he got, being home all day with two under 2 is a little overwhelming. 😅 thankful for the chance to bake yesterday so I don’t have to worry about breakfasts this week!

I have ONE slice of buzz cake free to a good home tonight only! Chocolate cake with coffee baked in, cream cheese frosting with a hint of coffee, homemade chocolate syrup drizzle and topped with…you guessed it…coffee beans. 😉
