Dabbling in bread making. Camping and National Park visiting with my husband and two girls. Working really hard to make my thumb green. And reading.
Food bartering. When you neighbor makes the Moscow Mules, you make their favorite cookies.

Brown butter espresso cookies with dark chocolate chips and flaky salt.

Saw this idea somewhere on social media. Didn't finish all the tomato paste, so I measured it out by tablespoons and pressed it between some parchment. Now it's in the freezer waiting to called upon.

Camping in Gila NF last Thanksgiving. Stuck in the city, dreaming of the quiet(ish) time with my family.

Last night we had a pizza party with some friends. Of course not one picture of the pizza was taken. I had some extra dough left over this morning and made some breakfast pizza. Marinara, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs and a mix of mozzarella and mexican cheese mix. 🍜

Our 11 year old boy was such a trooper on this trip. He came with us on this trip because Petrified Forest, the Grand Canyon and Saguaro NPs were more accessible when traveling with a dog.

He sunbathed and was a personal heater for our girls at night. The best good boy.

Our last night we camped 5 minutes from the Mescal film set where Tombstone, The Outlaw Josie Wales and The Quick And The Dead were filmed.

In honor of Gene Hackman we decided to watch The Quick and The Dead while roasting s'mores under the stars.

Next up was Saguaro National Park. It definitely exceeded my expectations. Played a game with our girls where you personify the cactus. We'd pick cactus, make up a scenario and laugh about what they might be saying. 10/10 would recommend.

The Grand Canyon covered with snow couldn't have been more magical. Caught the sunset and sunrise at Yavapai Point.

I made my first "real" sourdough loaf. Still not sure how I know whether or not it's over, under, or perfectly proofed. I'm sure the more I experiment, the more it'll make sense.

Made some sourdough bagels. Tasted delicious, but there's a lot of do different.

My mango seeds are sprouting! I completely forgot about them .... maybe I need to set some alerts in my phone.

Been feeling a little, bleh. I've been feeling those little dopamine hits working on all these little projects- mango seeds, sourdough starter, pickling.

Today I quick pickled some shaved Brussel sprouts. They were a damn good topping for the cheeseburgers we had for dinner.

I used the quick pickling recipe that I've used for jalapeños before and doubled up the garlic cloves.
