Sugar cookies!! 🍪

Hey its not the size that matters but how they taste!!

And having fun with them in general :P

Some of them were very satisfying on the pull up!

They went into a beef stew with potatoes~

🌱 finally pulled a couple of the solar Yellow carrots tonight and they are looking good~

Slice update~

Its blueberry (canned filling).

I had leftover filling open (from mixing into cheesecake for Thanksgiving) so although I only had a can and a half, went ahead and made a pie

Aaaand now we wait for it ti cool and set

I told myself to take a break from pies now that Thanksgiving was over.... but I had a half-used jar of blueberry filling in the fridge (blueberry cheesecake for 🦃 day)

So I opened the spare can and here we go! Lol

Also only my 2nd attempt at a top crust.. 👀

Nature is funny in a beautiful way, ain't it :3

The more you know~

I'll def keep it in mind the next time I try radishes in bulk.

I wonder if carrot seeds can be used as a seasoning like dill?

I didn't realize those were edible 👀

No I haven't yet. Radishes have been very much.. temperamental.. here for me. I'm still actively working on amending soil so hopefully I have better luck in the future

Eventually I plan on saving seeds though~

The flowers are very tiny and I don't know if hand pollination is even possible..

That said my method of isolation is to only allow one variety to flower a year. That way I know only that type's genetics are mixing

Technically you can space isolate but.. idk if my yard is big enough 😅

I'm looking forward to trying the Solar Yellows I planted this year. I'm adding a new variety each year (combined with seed collecting the following springs)~

The solar yellows were the only store-bought carrot seeds I planted this year :P

That sounds like an interesting variety! And I have hehe~

I've made (gluten-free) carrot cake (and muffins) using these black nebula carrots before.

It turns the batter lavender and finished product purple inside ^_^

The dark ones are Black Nebula carrots. They dye anything you cook purple haha

The reddish one was supposedly purple haze carrots but I think I was scammed online when I got them years ago BUT they do very well and taste good so I keep growing them :P

🌱 its cold and wet and dreary today.. so pulled some carrots and radishes and green onions to add to some soup tonight

🤔 interesting idea. My microwave is smaller than the oven but I'll keep that method in mind

That looks tasty!

My oven doesn't have a proof setting unfortunately but thats ok

Yeah I can't remember what the lowest my oven allows but its honestly too much. The steam also keeps things from drying and crusting~

🌱 🥕 first real harvest from the Autumn garden! Figured what better time to check on the size of the carrots than Thanksgiving day?

These carrots and radishes will go into a veggie bed under the turkey as it roasts in the oven~ 😋

Update: the rolls and stuffing is complete now ❤️

It works without fail for me!

I tend to put a large skillet full of water on the stove top first and let that heat up (med-high) in the background while I work on the actual dough recipe

By the time the dough is ready to proof the pan is boiling and I put the water in the bottom of the oven

The oven light was on because the door was open

....or I can break a glass over a towel and now have to deal with this mess 🙃

And now we wait an hour for the rolls to rise~

I like to proof them in a cold oven with a pan of hot water underneath to give humidity and warmth.

Works every time~

The counter method doesn't work well in my kitchen for some reason

All of which are gluten free ingredients btw

Thanksgiving Prep again lol, this time a much quicker and easier dessert 😆

Ready made graham cracker crust and no bake cheesecake with a tiny bit of blueberry pie filling mixed in and drizzled over~

Do you use pre-shredded cheese or do you shred your own?
