Did you all know I use fresh-milled flour in my baked goods?

I use a local mill Janie's Mill to source the flour for my baked goods!
Why fresh-milled? Because the best ingredients shouldn’t have to travel far. I source my flour from a local mill to ensure every goodie I bake is packed with the peak flavor and nutrients of the grain. It’s a difference you can taste, smell, and feel—honoring the craft of the miller and the tradition of the home kitchen.
I encourage you to follow their page to learn more about who they are and what makes them special!

Craft Show prep!

In order to make sure you get the freshest goodies, I'm usually up prepping and baking later in the evening, 1-2 days before the show.

A couple days ago I restocked my crumble (brown sugar, flour, cold butter) and that's sitting in the freezer waiting for bake day! I also chopped my dates and pistachios.

Tonight I measured out all of the wet and dry ingredients so tomorrow I just add the sugar, mix and bake!

I had the privilege of sharing my appreciation for the teachers and staff at Kyle Elementary. The physical, emotional, time, and energy investments you make into our children are unmatched. YOU ARE APPRECIATED!

With the new PTS structure, this will be my last year as an elementary parent. I've been a Kyle mom for the past 9 years, which blows my mind!

Huge shout-out to Biggby Coffee for the monstrous 5 gallons of deliciousness.

Lastly, I want to thank the Kyle Elementary PTO for the time and effort they put into the school, the teachers, the staff, and the students!

Hello all!! We're running a little bit behind!
Just getting the last of everything set!

See you at 2:30pm!

I wear a coat of orange, but I’m not a piece of fruit.
I’m born in a patch, wearing a sturdy green suit.
I’m a favorite in a latte, and a classic in a pie,
But today I’m going for a spin where the temperatures are dry. (Wait, that’s not right...)
Let's try: But today I’m going for a spin where the frost begins to fly! ❄️🥣

I'll be going LIVE at 2 PM today!
Come join me!
