fresh berries from the garden along with peanut butter oatmeal choc chip cookies!
I am always relaxed by both gardening and baking. Sharing the abundance of the garden and of baking is always a good way to enjoy them both!
Here is the recipe and pic of both from today. What helps you relax? If you are interested in cooking or baking, let me know. Will be doing some Zoom classes, let me know if you are interested in learning how to make something! We can make it together over Zoom, or hopefully soon in person!
