Campfire Bread

Posted on June 25, 2021March 11, 2022 by Joy

Campfire Bread When my family was young we loved spending a holiday camping rough. One recipe I developed to bring with us to the campsite is this version of the same bread that I would make for us at home.

Heat Wave

Posted on June 3, 2021May 2, 2022 by Joy

It’s the first heat of the year so it feels very hot to me even though it is ten degrees cooler than the typical mid summer heat waves of previous years. It’s a lack of high temperature experience, I think, because winter had me conditioned to cooler weather, and I am not ready for the…
