🥧 Homemade Pie Crust 🥧
Happy Thanksgiving! Let’s celebrate by making homemade pie crust. Pie crust is pretty simple and has minimal ingredients. It is a fun way to personalize your pies this holiday season. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
Pie Crust:
1 1/4 c. Flour
1 t. Sugar
1 Stick Cold Salted Butter, cut in cubes
1/4 c. Ice Water
Recipe:
🥧Add your flour, sugar, & cold butter in a bowl.
🥧Using a pastry cutter (in my case butter knives & a fork) to chop the butter. Create a crumble.
🥧Add your ice water and mix with hands until you have a dough ball. You may need a little more water in the mixture won’t come together.
🥧Roll the dough out on a floured surface to fit in your pie dish. Cut the edges around the pie dish and get creative with your pie decorations!
🥧You can bake the pie at 425*F for 15 minutes. Make sure to poke holes in the bottom.
🥧You can then freeze the pie to use later.
🥧We filled the pie without baking it first. You do not need to poke holes in the bottom if you are doing it this way. We did a pecan pie and cooked the pie according to our pie recipe.
🥧Enjoy!

🍱 Veggie Sushi Rolls 🍱
One of our favorite “out to eat” meals is sushi. It is one of those meals that the restaurants just do better. My family wanted to learn to make our own sushi at home. What a fun family dinner where everyone participates and makes their own roll. This is our amateur attempt at sushi, but a very doable and simple way to enjoy all the flavors of your favorite roll. Make these rolls for dinner or lunch. With a little prep you can have one delicious bite! Enjoy!

Roasted Seaweed Sushi Nori Wrappers
Calrose Rice, cooked according to package
Avocado, sliced
Cream Cheese, cut into long cubes
Purple Cabbage, sliced
Cucumber, cut lengthwise
Arugula
Sesame Seeds

Soy Sauce
Ginger
Sesame Seeds
*Bamboo sushi rolling mat. Cover the mat in plastic wrap to avoid rice getting stuck in the mat.
Recipe:
🍱Lay your nori on the rolling mat.
🍱Cover nori with rice.
🍱Flip the nori. The rice should stick.
🍱Add your preferred ingredients. We did avocado, cream cheese, purple cabbage, cucumber, & arugula.

🌿 Harvesting Basil Seeds 🌿
We had a wonderful basil patch in the garden this year. It is now time to harvest the seeds from the basil. All summer long I will pinch off the part of the plant that wants to go to seed in order to keep the plant growing. Towards the end of the season I let the basil plant go to seed and collect enough seeds for the next year. Enjoy!
How to:
🌿Pick the part of the plant that is brown.
🌿Each little pod had 4-5 seeds.
🌿Open the pod and gather the seeds.
🌿Place the seeds in an airtight bag with a paper towel and store in the refrigerator for the next year.
🌿Happy gardening!
