The Ribbon and Pear

After spending 11 days at the Iowa State Fair, quickly followed by setting up and conducting an estate sale, I was back in the kitchen yesterday, trying a new recipe for Carrot Cake Jam. Success! If you would like to learn how to make jam and can it, let's get a session scheduled.

Who knew there was a National Peaches and Cream Day? Peaches do deserve their own holiday, a day off from work to pick, eat, can, and use peaches in baked goods. It is a little early here in Iowa to have local peaches, but when the free stone Elberta variety is in stores, there will be delicious opportunities in my kitchen. Schedule a time to be here with me and enjoy!

National Picnic Day calls for a trip to the park, river, or even your back yard to enjoy a meal outside. Want to learn how to prepare old fashioned potato salad or make cucumber sandwiches, contact me for in person cooking lessons.

Iowa State Fair, August, 2021. Entered 13 cakes on one day. Lots of work, but those blue ribbons are sure worth it! Want to learn how to make any of these beauties yourself, message me and we can set up a group or one on one class.
