I’m so inspired by Appalachian cuisine. I’ve been working on various seasonal menus for years (paw paws! Wine berries! Dandelion!) and this weekend I finally get to make and serve some of my creations. I’ve made an Appalachian playlist, I’m dancing around the kitchen, and all my love is going into creating the 5-course tasting feast I’ve been dreaming of. This is the filling for my twist on an Appalachian stack cake. It’s sticky, tart, sweet magic I’ll layer between cake w/caramel. 🥞Gotta go! Timer’s going off... 💕 #appalachianfood #comfortfood #stackcake
Making some fun, Appalachian-inspired tweaks to the Cornbread recipe from @glutenfreebakingacademy. Almost there...💛 🌽💛 #glutenfree #glutenfreecornbread
Lately, I wonder why so many folks around here grumble about winter. “It’s so dark and colorless,” “it’s so cold,” “ugh, snow.” I find that I appreciate this season more with each year. When I drive through the mountains, I really enjoy the gold fields, varying tones of grey w/purples, blues, sage. The light is special this time of year. Rest feels delicious when you let yourself have it. All you have to do is look around at nature... it’s resting. Today, it was “dark” outside and that inspired a candle, a loaf of sourdough, and a nap. Of course it was a work day and the work got done, but I’m feelin’ winter lately. A time to go inward so spring can be 💥😉.
Enrollment is open for my @glutenfreebakingacademy #glutenfree Bread Baking Course today! Who’s in? We’re going to learn how to make flatbreads, quick breads, yeasted breads, and sourdough without the gums and bleached flours... it’s my favorite time of the year! 💛🍞💛
It’s my birthday today, and I love that I want to spend a good chunk of it in my favorite place: my kitchen. It’s going to be an incredible year, I know it. I’ve been building a few things behind the scenes for a while now and I finally get to share it with you soon. I’m grateful to all of you who are interested in what I have to share. Creating is what makes my heart sing. Excited for what’s to come. 🎈
I know I’m posting a lot of baked goodies lately but it’s what I’m working on these days! And just L👀K at this new @glutenfreebakingacademy sandwich loaf I cut into today!

It’s been a few years of building, I’m SO ready to share! 💛🍞🌱 #countdown #glutenfreebakingacademy #glutenfreebread #glutenfree #glutenfreebaking
