It’s been a beautiful Autumn weekend of treasure hunting in thrift stores, lunch, and fun projects with Bear.
I pulled out my sewing machine and spent many happy hours sewing up cute sundresses and a bright red tarp for my medieval medicine booth. I live in sundresses for three-quarters of the year, so it’s wonderful to have a couple more to add to my collection.
I worked in my garden and wood-burned several items for a new order and added a couple of new ones to my wood-burning shoppe.
My favorite is this solid wood rolling pin. I hope to make one for my own kitchen tomorrow. 🙂
Last week I started baking again and that’s been so fun. Today I sauteed piles of fresh nectarines in butter, brown sugar and cinnamon and the mixture is ready to be frozen as instant pie filling whenever we have a craving.
I’ve also been making Ugly Shortbread. Sometimes I crave a homemade cookie but don’t have the time or energy to cream and sift and shape, so this is my go-to recipe that takes less than five minutes to throw together and tastes delicious, even if it’s not beautiful.
It’s easy to mix up flavors too, just add a Tbsp of ground almonds and 1 tsp almond extract for Almond Shortbread, or 1 Tbsp desiccated coconut and 1 tsp coconut extract for Coconut Shortbread.
What is your favorite go-to recipe for something sweet?
