2022 was my and Maddie's seventh year picking strawberries at our local berry farm and making homemade strawberry jam together. The boys join us for picking sometimes, but Maddie never misses it and looks forward to it every year. It is how we welcome summer every year.
Decorating baked goods with candied lemon balm is quite possibly my favorite use for this incredible herb and the technique for making them is very simple, with supplies and ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen. They are the perfect addition to my traditional sugar cookie recipe, which I have altered just slightly to include a hint of lemon.
Possibly a new holiday tradition, this combination of sourdough and cinnamon rolls create a beautiful festive breakfast treat to be paired with coffee and your favorite beeswax candle stick.
In March 2020, our state shut down. Our schools closed, my photography business screeched to a halt and my husband began working full-time at home. There are a lot of mixed emotions that came with this shutdown. But we were grateful for our new home and land to stretch out. In fact, I couldn’t imagine a better place to call home during these times. As a way of channeling my anxiety and worry into something positive, I did what many of us did and jumped on the sourdough train!
