I’m pretty sure this is illegal to the KFC conduct codebook but my mom would sometimes sneak me a extra biscuit. That’s when I knew I was a good girl that day.

Freezing and drying herbs in multiple ways makes your garden season last even when there is a foot of snow out on the ground. Need some basil? No problem.

I’m sad because Matthew and I had so much fun tearing that place up to make a garden and building a little shipping container home.

When the garden gives you 7 pounds of cauliflower and 8 pounds of sugar snap peas in one week, you make Sugar Snap Pea and Cauliflower Casserole! And you add shredded cheddar cheese, because you should always add cheese on top! This is usually how it goes during garden season.
