Frosty Herb Gardener
Yes, it’s me with woolcicles forming on my face gear. And yes, I know my cold weather gear is not color coordinated.

Herbs in Bread
Gluten free herbed bread, that is… this is a recent dietary adjustment at our house.
I combined a gluten free bread mix from Bob’s Red Mill along with another GF bread recipe I found. I tossed in some herbs, ( see below) a variety of seeds, and baked the… Continue reading
