I don’t always look like I’m struggling. Sometimes I look focused. Sometimes I get things done. That doesn’t mean depression isn’t there. You never know what someone is carrying just by looking at them. 🤍

Hurricane warning in the forecast, dollar oysters at Whole Foods, a Trader Joe’s detour, then home for my kind of reset. Just a regular day in my elevated Southern life: mom, sourdough microbakery owner, and food-forward 🌱 creator, all in the same 24 hours. Tell me you’d have made the oyster run too.

How to make charbroiled oysters at home in the oven 🦪

I’m a Mobile girl living in Mississippi, so seafood is in my DNA—but after this two-day oyster mission, I was not about to waste the good ones.

I scrubbed the shells, discarded the dead oyster, shucked both Gulf and Atlantic oysters for the first time, then covered them in seasoned garlic butter and mozzarella. Bake at 350°F for about 15 minutes, broil for about 2 minutes until bubbly, and finish with fresh lemon. Parmesan would be good here too.

Be honest: are you shucking these yourself or paying the restaurant bill?

Elevated Besties!!!

Canna caviar FAQ
Y’all have been asking what to use Giggle Drizzle for, so here’s one easy idea: a cranberry-mango sparkle! 🥭

I mixed cranberry-mango juice with sparkling Waterloo, added raspberry sugar-free syrup, then finished it with Mango Giggle Drizzle. I used Mango in this one, but any flavor would be fun to try.

What flavor would you make yours with?

The oyster mission is underway! Come along while I get ready, head out to find oysters, and make a quick Trader Joe’s stop before heading home.

We don’t get to the cooking in this video, so stay tuned for the next part—and follow for more of the mission! 🦪

If it feels like you’ve watched me build business after business, you have.

While bottling this week’s Mango Giggle Drizzle, I wanted to explain why I’ve been shifting away from attending a farmers market every Saturday and putting more energy into my Farm Stand, content creation, paid brand partnerships and Canna Caviar Eats.

I haven’t stopped loving baking or serving my community. I simply reached a point where sacrificing nearly every weekend—along with several days of preparation—was no longer physically, mentally or financially sustainable.

These aren’t random pivots. I’m learning how to build income around my life and my family instead of building a life that leaves me completely depleted.

I’m not giving up. I’m adapting.

Thank you to everyone supporting any part of what I’m building. It means more than you know.
