Oh, hey! I'm growing pink oyster mushrooms! How are you spending your summer?

Have any good recipes? 🍽️ I'd love to hear them!

Throwback to the time I completed 28 credits in one term.

Now I'm trying to finish my master's in one term.
I love WGU!!

And now my 30lb turkey is tucked in for the night. Fun fact: a 30lb turkey with brine barely fits in a 5 gallon bucket! 🍽️

I just made Pantry Mama's sourdough chocolate star bread recipe. It smells as good as it looks and I can't wait to eat it tomorrow! 🍽️

There were at least 3, if not 4 owls having a hootenanny outside my house tonight!

Jasmine gets to come to work with me twice a week because our school's animal science program runs a doggy daycare. She absolutely lives for these days!

Just a little breakfast for dinner. Texas toast makes amazing French toast! 🍽️

My students learned about cell organelles today by drawing them on our lab tables with chalk markers and then labeling them in their notebooks. The students were all highly engaged and enjoyed the activity, which is always a win!

Cooking on a budget means revisiting this childhood favorite of mine: Mac and cheese with little smoky sausages. 🍽️

Having to crate my 10mo puppy for the first time in months because she's started chewing things up. Her whining is breaking my heart.

Happy Mole Day!

I threw together a quick tortellini soup tonight, based on a recipe from Hello Fresh. I used Better than Bouillon for the stock and made a quick bechamel to replace the "cream sauce base". So flipping good!

Check out out! No check engine light! Thanks to my handy 17 year old and to Amazon, my car is fixed for under $20. Now to figure out dinner!

Epcot was busier than I ever remember seeing it today, but it was a great day with some great friends!

But whatever you do, don't try the pickle milkshake.

The first loaf is out of the oven. I'm happy with this one!

Sourdough in the oven!
I came up with this recipe in July of 2021 (honestly, a remnant of Covid year) and it's still my go-to today.
Very soft with a nice, thin crust! 😋

340g water
100g sourdough starter
5g avocado oil
480g KA bread flour
10g sea salt
20g chia seeds
