Wednesday night scenes from my kitchen. It’s been a minute living through reclaiming our 125 yo home from #icestorm2025 but we are underway.

This evening, though, my cast iron pan whispered at me & just like that it was a classic pizza kind of night.

Baking is my jam, not to mention pot clanging. Gifts from our kitchens are the best gifts. Especially when they are made with intention.
I’m giving lots of thought to the upcoming holiday season.
What to make, what to make?
