Strawberry scones from our Food Guru blog! So easy and really tasty. Since we didn't have any oranges, we used tangerine zest instead! It works great 👍. Added a little extra maple syrup to sweeten up the strawberries too.

Welcome to 💪🏻for a real Kraut pleaser and here’s how to spruce up your sauerkraut! Along with green cabbage, I added shredded carrots, daikon, apples, turmeric, ginger ➕dried roses, Aleppo pepper flakes, fennel seeds, juniper berries, preserved leftover lemon pulp, and hibiscus sea salt. After 10 days of watching it transform from raw to a probiotic rich condiment, I put a heaping healthy helping on top of my grilled sausages. I never can thank my friend, Karen Digg (a health guru and creator of a easy DIY fermentation device ) enough for inspiring me and many thousands of loyal fans.

💜Enjoying the fruits of our labor in the hills of Healdsburg (Sonoma County, CA). The farm was opened up to the public to pick blackberries from their thornless vines.

Just returned from a trip to the UK and what an earthly experience visiting The Lost Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall. I have some serious garden envy and was in utter awe checking out all the fruits, veggies, flowers, tropical vegetation, vast variety trees, and so much more. We logged in about 5 miles of hilly walking, too! @ The Lost Gardens of Heligan

What a fun-tast-ic day in Sonoma County —We were given a large container and went out in fields to hand-pick plump, ripened blueberries. We even gobbled up some as we were picking them. We had a pre-lunch dessert of homemade blueberry ice cream. They are open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday throughout the summer. This is a fun and berry fruitful activity for both kids and adults😍💙 @ Duckworth Family Farm

After a 10 mile afternoon/ evening hike, we were famished and stopped at 123 Bolinas for a sumptuous, springtime dinner. I highly recommend this quaint dinning destination in the funky town of Fairfax, Marin County💚

to the towering old growth redwoods in Muir Woods located just a few miles from my home. To avoid the crowds, there are several places to hike down to the floor (where the bigger redwoods are) from Panoramic Highway. Many trails lead to the epicenter and along the way you’ll notice a plethora of younger redwoods. It’s a site behold 💚 @ Muir Woods National Monument

Happy
It can be baked or fried and be any size. It is the most popular food in Argentina, and you'll see it on most menus. It can be an appetizer, snack, or meal. Traditionally, the filling is meat but you can stuff it with anything you like. The photo is from a recent trip to Argentina with a stopover in Buenos Aires at an artisan market. It was made to order (hot and fresh).

I have been making sourdough bread for about 6 months, and I am both addicted to the making and eating of it. It takes time but it is time worth spent. See second photo for my latest production.

I have been an avid Instagram follower of Deanna () for about 5 years. Deanna's following is vast, active, and loyal. As one of her many fans, I am thrilled that she finally launched a blog called Homestead and Chill. She is a homesteader that utilizes her small yard to grow most of her produce, raises chickens, ferments all kinds of food, (including Sourdough Bread).
See how Deanna simplifies the detailed process of making Sourdough Bread.

Also, we are in the beginning stages of growing our own food, and she will be a valuable resource to us. If you have contemplated or already have a garden, then Deanna's blog and Instagram feed is the ideal place to virtually go for DIY gardening.

a few weeks ago 🐰Hop in and 🐷pig out at Peony Seafood Restaurant to experience their incredible small edibles, a Dim Sum establishment in Oakland, CA. Our Chinese guide and guru, an award-winning Chinese storyteller and cookbook author Madam Huang's Kitchen personally ordered every course. After many hours of feasting, we strolled around Chinatown perusing all the spring offerings at the local mom and pop markets. It was a day for the memory books. @ Peony Restaurant
