Did you know German Chocolate Cake is actually not German at all? It was created right here in the USA in 1852, by Samuel German. He was an English American baker who worked for the Baker’s Chocolate Company. Mr. German made a sweet and dark baking chocolate that incorporated more sugar than the average semi-sweet chocolate. It was named after its creator! As far as the cake goes, it hailed from the Lone Star State, Texas. This beautiful cake was made by Mrs. George Clay, a career homemaker. Way to go Mrs. Clay! This Tennessee gal appreciates your delicious recipe!

These are delicious and so easy to make. This is a tasty addition to sandwiches, meats, or just a side. We love them with BBQ.

If you had to pick between a Chocolate Whoopie Pie or a piece of Chocolate Cake, which would you pick? Be honest!

Edit: So far we have cake for the win with 9 votes, and whoopie pie at 2!
Thanks for the insight!

I love the rich, bright flavors of Summer. Peach is no exception! I visited our local farmers market and found the most beautiful fruit. These were freestone perfection. This is a cross between peach butter and a sauce. I wanted something that would go on biscuits and sourdough as well as ice cream. The peaches were so sweet I used nearly half the amount of the organic sugar. Each 8oz jelly jar is $8.

For Sale: This lovely hand painted shaker filled with my own carpet/rug freshener. Made with safe, clean ingredients that truly eliminates odors. The organic therapeutic grade English Lavender Essential Oil makes this blend so clean and lovely. This shaker is not only gorgeous but evenly distributes the freshener in the smallest to largest of rugs. Easily refillable and so pretty too. If you would prefer a citrus scent instead of lavender, that can be arranged.

I spent the afternoon in the garden! I’ve been working on ways to preserve my abundant herb harvest. One way to preserve fresh herbs is to infuse vinegar with the pungent, and sometimes delicate oils. These infused flavor concoctions can be used in salads, to season meats, and desserts. The two vinegars I made today were Onion Chive Blossom and Garden Bouquet. Two weeks and they will be ready to use.

Afternoon all! I was out this week scouting for some organic fruit and came across strawberries and rhubarb. It made me think of my Grandmother Barnes. She was a lovely cook and such a hard worker for her family. When I was a little girl I would go to stay with her for a few nights at a time. In the Spring, she always liked to go for strawberries down on Chapman Hwy at a little roadside stand. She would buy several flats and off we would go. I remember her bragging about me carrying the flats inside to the kitchen. She would repeatedly say how strong I was, I believed her. It made me feel so special to be able to help her as she created such a delicious confection. The love of creating in the kitchen has stayed with me all my life. A few things have changed as I have learned the benefits of healthy living. Healthy, real unadulterated food is DELICIOUS! The organic berries and rhubarb was a wonderful find this last weekend. Rhubarb is scarce these days. The lovely tart flavor pairs so well with strawberries. It made me daydream of the mouthwatering jelly, so they came home with me. I use GMO Free and gluten free Pectin. Apparently the ones we have locally at the store have gmo ingredients, dextrose and the citric acid. If you’re interested in knowing the pectin I use, just send me a message and I’ll send you the link. I also use organic Cane Juice Crystals instead of a refined white sugar. I’m being honest when I say this is such a wonderful jelly! So much flavor.
Each 8oz jelly jar is $10
I may have just sampled a spoonful, Fantastic!

What a beautiful Christmas Tea with the sweetest ladies! Merry Christmas to All 🎄 A huge thank you to Stacy Cruise and Michelle Ruiz Swallen for all of their help! I could not have done it without them.

We are getting ready for the Christmas Season. Rejoicing in the beautiful gift of Jesus and all He has done for us.

A friend ordered the mixed berry scones for today! These are loaded with the organic berries from my garden. Blueberries, Raspberries, and Blackberries, oh my! It is utterly a flavor explosion on my taste buds. Appalachian scones are not bland and dry, but buttery and soft inside with a rich crumb outside. I had a very small piece with my coffee. 6 scones for $18. These absolutely will bot disappoint or last long.

I am working on some neglected chores this morning. Knife sharpening being on the top of my list. Do you have a favorite knife or brand? I would love to hear what you use to make meal prep easier.

I love cheese making days. It’s been a while, so I’m especially happy thinking about the delicious flavor and texture of this feta and ricotta. I am working on a schedule for a cheesemaking class so keep you eyes peeled. When have such a good time with cheese!
