Serving up sass, sugar, and a sprinkle of chaos. 🧁πŸ”₯
Cooking, baking, DIY'ing & living life deliciously.πŸ’ƒπŸ»
Because life is to short for bland vibes

πŸ‚ NEW ON THE BLOG: Farmhouse Bacon-Wrapped Chicken πŸ‚ NEW ON THE BLOG: Farmhouse Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Bundles!

Chicken thighs stuffed with creamy Boursin Garlic & Herb cheese, mozzarella, and sun-dried tomatoes would already make a pretty darn good supper.

But then we wrapped them in bacon.

Because apparently we like to show off a little around here. πŸ˜‚πŸ₯“

They bake up juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside, with that creamy, cheesy filling tucked right in the middle.

I served mine with mashed potatoes and broccoli, and suddenly an ordinary dinner felt a whole lot more like cozy fall comfort food.

And if some cheese bubbles out while they're baking?

That's not a mistake.

That's your kitchen tax. Eat it before anyone notices. πŸ˜‰

πŸ‚ SAVE this one for your fall dinner rotation and SHARE it with your bacon-loving people!

πŸ”— Full recipe at the link in my bio!

🍁 NEW BLOG POST! The Vanilla Pantry: Part 6 – The 🍁 NEW BLOG POST! The Vanilla Pantry: Part 6 – The Mother Jar

Meet Mother.

She's big. She's beautiful. And she's about to become the hardest-working jar in the vanilla pantry. 🀎

A Mother Jar is your larger, ongoing supply of homemade vanilla extract. Once she's established, you can use her to refill your everyday vanilla bottles, prepare gorgeous homemade gifts, and survive the vanilla demands of holiday baking without clutching your last teaspoon for dear life. πŸ˜‚

In Part 6, we're talking about:

🀎 What a Mother Jar actually is
🀎 How to start one
🀎 How many vanilla beans you'll need
🀎 When to add more alcohol
🀎 When to add fresh beans
🀎 How to maintain it over time
🀎 How Mother becomes the workhorse of your vanilla-making kitchen

And yes, mine gets her own spot.

She's earned it.

πŸ‚ The Vanilla Pantry: Part 6 – The Mother Jar is live now!

πŸ‘‰ Link in bio.

SAVE this one because you're going to want it when you start your jar, then SHARE it with your favorite baker. And tell me below: Do you already have a Mother Jar, or are we starting one together?

9β€’11β€’2001 | We Will Never Forget Twenty-five year 9β€’11β€’2001 | We Will Never Forget

Twenty-five years later, we remember.

We remember the lives lost.
We remember the families forever changed.
We remember the first responders who ran toward danger when others were running away.
We remember the courage, sacrifice, compassion, and unity that rose from an unimaginable day.

Today isn't about recipes, projects, or the everyday bustle around the hearth.

Today, we simply remember. β€οΈπŸ€πŸ’™

May we honor those who never came home, those who carried the weight of that day forward, and every hero whose courage will never be forgotten.

Always remembered. Always honored. Never forgotten. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

πŸŽƒπŸ§ NEW RECIPE: Pumpkin Spice Twice Cupcakes! Pump πŸŽƒπŸ§ NEW RECIPE: Pumpkin Spice Twice Cupcakes!

Pumpkin in the cupcake.

Pumpkin in the buttercream.

Because apparently I looked at a perfectly respectable pumpkin cupcake and thought, "Needs more pumpkin." πŸ˜‚

And I regret nothing.

These Pumpkin Spice Twice Cupcakes are soft, moist, warmly spiced, and topped with the dreamiest homemade pumpkin spice buttercream made with real pumpkin puree.

Basically, fall showed up wearing frosting. πŸ‚

Make them for Thanksgiving, Halloween, a fall party, or just because it's pumpkin season and that's reason enough around this hearth.

πŸŽƒ Full recipe is on the blog. LINK IN BIO!

πŸ“Œ SAVE this one now for your fall baking list and SHARE it with the friend who starts buying pumpkin everything the second September arrives.

And tell me below...

Are you Team Pumpkin Spice or Team Apple Cinnamon for fall? πŸ‘‡πŸŽπŸŽƒ

πŸ‚ THE VANILLA PANTRY: PART 5 IS HERE! BOTTLED UP: πŸ‚ THE VANILLA PANTRY: PART 5 IS HERE!

BOTTLED UP: Choosing Jars & Bottles for Handmade Vanilla

The beans have been chosen.

The booze has been chosen.

Now apparently we have to find them suitable housing. πŸ˜‚

Today we’re digging into everything you need to know about bottles and jars for homemade vanilla extract.

Amber or clear?
Swing top or screw top?
2 ounces or 32 ounces?
Which ones are best for gifting?
And are those ridiculously cute cork bottles actually a good idea?

I’m covering ALL of it.

Plus, we’re getting awfully close to talking about the big girl of the vanilla pantry...

The Mother Jar. πŸ‘€

If homemade vanilla is on your fall or holiday project list, SAVE THIS POST because you’re going to want it when bottle-shopping time arrives.

🍁 Full Part 5 blog post is linked in my bio.

And SHARE this with your baking friend who keeps saying, β€œI really want to make my own vanilla.”

Consider this their sign.

It’s Tuesday evening, and guess what that means? It’s Tuesday evening, and guess what that means?

🌿 SHAKE YOUR VANILLA BEANS! 🌿

Yep. Go find those bottles hiding in the pantry and give them a good shake. They’ve had all week to lounge around in their little boozy bath. Time to put them back to work. πŸ˜‚

Every shake helps move those gorgeous vanilla flavors around and gives us another excuse to peek at our homemade extract and whisper, β€œAre you ready yet?”

Spoiler: probably not. Vanilla operates on its own schedule and apparently does not care about our impatience.

So grab those bottles.

Give ’em a shake.
Admire those beautiful beans.
Check the color.
Then put them back in their dark little corner to keep doing their thing.

And if you’re following along with The Vanilla Pantry series, consider this your official Tuesday reminder from Maison Hearth.

🌿 SHAKE. THOSE. BEANS.

Who else already shook theirs tonight?
