⁣Strawberry Rhubarb Pie with Crumb Topping⠀ ⠀ 🍓LINK IN BIO🍓⠀ ⠀ We grow rhubarb and strawberries for a reason - more like a dozen reasons. Pies, Sorbets, Jams, Cakes, Smoothies, Bars, Sauces, Ice Creams, Kombucha, Glazes, Tarts.⠀ ⠀ There. That’s 12. 😊 ⠀ If you’re thinking about growing something that sings of seasonal eating - grow rhubarb. Once you plant it, you can’t kill it - even if you try. It’s like a weed. ONLY EAT THE STALKS - don’t eat the leaves - they’re poisonous. ⠀ ⠀ Rhubarb is a vegetable in the buckwheat family. If your rhubarb starts to bolt, cut the flower off as soon as you see it. Discouraging it from bolting will send the energy into stalk production. ⠀ ⠀ Cooking & Baking Tips:⠀ ☀️Rhubarb’s sweetness swings wildly from plant to plant, where it’s grown, and when it’s harvested.⠀ ☀️Don’t add all of the sugar a recipe calls for until you taste the rhubarb. You will likely need either less or more sugar. ⠀ ☀️Don’t over-cook or over-bake rhubarb. It will disappear into mush. ⠀ ☀️Use larger chunks of rhubarb in recipes - larger than you think. With cooking and baking, it can fall apart. I use about 1 inch slices.⠀ ☀️Use the whole stalk (not the leaves). There will be a difference in the tart and sweet with the color variation - and variation is good. ⠀ ☀️Nutmeg loves rhubarb. A pinch of nutmeg will compliment it. ⠀ ☀️If you love rhubarb pies but don’t like how cornstarch can muddy the color of the filling. Use a product called Clear Gel. It holds and is more clear.⠀ ☀️Rhubarb glazes are incredible on savory dishes and in bbq sauce.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Hope you’re all safe and well. Happy Friday, everyone. More sourdough coming on Sunday with a new way that I’m using my starter.🤓⠀ ⠀ Xo⠀ Sara⠀ ⠀ #strawberryrhubarb #strawberryrhubarbpie #quarentinebaking #freshstrawberries #rhubarb #rhubarbseason ⠀

⁣I’m fortunate to live in a city with a cultur

⁣I’m fortunate to live in a city with a culture rich in authentic Mexican food and tradition.⠀ ⠀ Tamales are a labor of love but something I try to make at least a few times a year.⠀ ⠀ This batch was especially memorable - I skipped the penny trick, thinking ‘nah..I’m standing right here, I’ll hear the pot’…but nope - I burned the crap out of my pot, and almost lost my batch to scorching. For those that make their own tamales - you know how depressing that would be. ⠀ The penny trick is brilliant for anything needing to steam for a longer length of time. Put a penny in the bottom of the pot with the water, and as the water evaporates & the bottom of the pot starts to become dry, the penny will pop and flip around - creating a noise you’ll hear & you can refresh the pot with more water.⠀ ⠀ Also - Bar Keepers Friend is definitely your friend for burnt pots.⠀ ⠀ Recipe coming soon to my website.⠀ Be safe and healthy, everyone.⠀ ⠀ #tamal #cookingtip #slowfood

✳️ LINK IN BIO ✳️ Herb Compound Butter - a

✳️ LINK IN BIO ✳️ Herb Compound Butter - a thing I’ve loved & made since about 1978. 😁 With summer almost here, it’s time to get those veggies steamed & roasted, fire up the grill for your favorite fish, chicken or steak - or make a few bread sticks. This garden to table butter works on EVERYTHING - pasta, bread, meats & fish, veggies of all varieties. I make it them freeze it and slice off a knob when I need it. Have a safe weekend everyone, and as always, THANK YOU for all your support for the clicks and comments, saves and shares, and visits over to my website A Food Lover’s Life. I would love to see you there! 🙏 #compoundbutter #buttery

✳️⁣LINK IN BIO✳️ BREAD IS IN THE AIR…⠀ ⠀ …and I’m loving it. People are baking their first loaves - and now they know they CAN bake bread and are hooked. 😊⠀ ⠀ So, here’s my easy White Sandwich Bread Recipe that not only makes sandwich bread, but is also a multi-purpose dough. I’m publishing recipes for: ⠀ ⠀ ✅ Cinnamon Swirl Raisin Bread⠀ ✅ Light & Soft Hamburger Buns⠀ ✅ Cheesy Pull-Apart Dinner Rolls⠀ ✅ Fluffy Cinnamon Buns⠀ ✅ Tender Garlic Knots with Herbs & Parmesan⠀ ✅ Easy Crispy Pizza ⠀ ✅ Stuffed Bread like Krautburgers & Italian Meatball Bites ⠀ ⠀ You can use a kitchen aid mixer for this dough, or easily knead by hand, it uses commercial yeast, and the ingredients are very flexible (just see my recipe). 🤓⠀ ⠀ A tender and soft crust, creamy and fluffy crumb, and slices like a dream. Freezes perfectly and will rise again for you to use in any application you need. ⠀ ⠀ ✳️LINK IN BIO✳️⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Happy Thursday, everyone. Stay healthy and safe. ✌️⠀ ⠀ #homemadebread #whitebread ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
