TRUE STORY: Every summer my ultimate garden goal is to melt my heat loving' hubbies face off with my homegrown, homemade hot sauce! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m getting my game face on over here because the homegrown peppers are really comin’ in HOT at the moment which means homemade hot sauce is on the horizon! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Last year we grew 2 varieties of pepper and 1 was so hot it’s actual hot sauce could be qualified as bear spray! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Phew - we even talked about painting that batch of hot sauce on our tree trunks so the resident pond beaver 🦫 would quit eating the bark. I mean - that sauce was 🥵 ! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This year we are growing a total of 12 varieties of peppers. 🤤 Some hot, some sweet all tasty! We have pretty much covered every color of the rainbow here in peppers this year and I cannot wait for the harvests to start! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m also currently working on my first garden inspired blog post for @ThisMessisOurs with plenty more to come - I am over the moon excited to share what we are growing and harvesting with you! . . . #ThisMessisOurs #BHGStylemaker #thecabinclub #homesteadshoutout #homesteaddreams #farmsteadmagic #farmlifebestlife #smallfarmcharm #homesteaderhaven #countrysideandfarmlife #lifeouthere #slowandsimplelife #containergardening #homemadehotsauce #buzzfeedfood #thekitchn #wholefoodsmarket #onmytable #fromscratch #theeverygirlcooks

Looking for a frozen red, white, and blue dessert option for the 4th? Or maybe a healthier breakfast option that feels like you are splurging and eating dessert?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I shared this gorgeous Red, White, and Blue Popsicle recipe this week on @cagrownofficial and they are out of this world delicious! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Loads of fresh cherries, blueberries, and vanilla yogurt are packed into those layers! There is so much flavor in every single bite, but literally zero guilt. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bookmark this one for later - you are going to want to make it! https://californiagrown.org/recipes/a-simple-red-white-and-blue-popsicle-recipe-for-summer/ . . #thismessisDessert #BHGStylemaker #cagrown #feedfeed #f52grams #buzzfeedfood #foodstagram #huffposttaste #thekitchn #goodeats #recipeoftheday #yahoofood #foodgawker #forkfeed #buzzfeast #tastemade #diycooking #beautifulcuisines #nomnomnom #myamazonkitchen #Foods4Thought #fromscratch #onmytable #fellowmag #bbcgoodfood #onthetable #shareyourtable #wholefoodsmarket

Red, white, and blue dessert recipes are officially TRENDING, which means our NEW #glutenfree Red, White, and Blue Dessert Cake recipe is right on time! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Coating #glutenfree ladyfingers in homemade, orange caramel may sound like it would be cloyingly sweet, and they are on their own, but the mascarpone whipped cream is purposely not. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Paired together, they are a match made in summertime heaven. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can use any combination of fruit on the planet, but I am having a real moment with pairing fresh cherries, blueberries, and blackberries together. It's a crazy delicious flavor combination that is a bit unexpected. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This showstopper of a recipe is super CHILL! This means, it requires assembling and chilling at least 24 hours before you plan to serve it. Don't say I didn't warn you in advance. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bookmark this one for later - you are going to want to make it! https://thismessisours.com/this-red-white-blue-dessert-cake-is-the-best-fourth-of-july-recipe/ . . . #thismessisDessert #BHGStylemaker #cagrown #feedfeed #f52grams #buzzfeedfood #foodstagram #huffposttaste #thekitchn #goodeats #recipeoftheday #yahoofood #foodgawker #forkfeed #buzzfeast #tastemade #diycooking #beautifulcuisines #nomnomnom #myamazonkitchen #Foods4Thought #fromscratch #onmytable #fellowmag #bbcgoodfood #onthetable #shareyourtable #wholefoodsmarket

"To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow." - Audrey Hepburn ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I planted these poblano peppers a few months ago in excited anticipation of BIG batches of our favorite Roasted Poblano Cashew Cream all summer long. ( recipe linked below) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The time is almost here to harvest these beauts and I can't help but be in awe of their perfect - imperfectness as they grow. Each one unique and special in its own way, but all inevitably equally delicious. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You best believe that the next back of Roasted Poblano Cashew Cream that I make will go down as the best ever thanks to these homegrown peppers! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can find the recipe here: https://thismessisours.com/roasted-poblano-cashew-cream-sauce/ . . . #thismessisDinner #BHGStylemaker #cagrown #eeeeeats #feedfeed #f52grams #buzzfeedfood #foodstagram #huffposttaste #thekitchn #goodeats #recipeoftheday #yahoofood #foodgawker #forkfeed #buzzfeast #tastemade #diycooking #beautifulcuisines #gardening #poblano #fromscratch #foodphotography #foodwinewomen #onmytable #fellowmag #bbcgoodfood #onthetable #shareyourtable #wholefoodsmarket

When it comes to potato salad I am more of a smother 'em when they're hot with an herbaceous @ca_avocados - laced Green Goddess Dressing kind of a gal than anything else. #ad @cagrownofficial #cagrown ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I think you can feel me on this... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ At least once this summer put down the mayo and pickle based tater salad and opt for this herbaceous version instead. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can find the printable recipe here: https://thismessisours.com/an-easy-potato-salad-recipe-with-green-goddess-dressing/ . . . #thismessisDinner #BHGStyemaker #avocado #potatosalad #eeeeeats #feedfeed #f52grams #buzzfeedfood #foodstagram #huffposttaste #thekitchn #goodeats #recipeoftheday #yahoofood #foodgawker #forkfeed #buzzfeast #gloobyfood #tastemade #diycooking #theeverygirlcooks #beautifulcuisines #nomnomnom #BCfoodie #myamazonkitchen #Foods4Thought #fromscratch #foodphotography . . .

Once upon a time, not too very long ago, a shriveled Yukon Gold potato was discovered in the very back of our pantry. It was covered in eyes, quite wrinkly, and rather disgusting. My first thought was to be frustrated with myself for absentmindedly wasting a perfect piece of organic produce that others would have LOVED to have and could have used. But as I was mentally shaming myself as I headed to the garbage bin, I heard a tiny little nudge in the form of a simple thought..."Put it in the ground." So - instead of tossing it, I sliced it into ten little pieces, one for each eye. It sat on the counter for a day or two to let the cut wounds heal over, and then we placed them in an empty planter box and covered them with dirt. Before long, those eyes turned to shoots and the shoots to leaves. And those leaves began to rise from the ground, nearly doubling the height of the planter box. And then - about 90 days later, even more quickly than they had begun to rise, they started to fall. They drooped, they sagged, and basically looked like they were dying. I found myself troubled. So, I did what we all do when we are troubled, I Googled. And then I realized what had happened and began to dig. First with my bare hands and then with gloves, and to my absolute delight, there they were - the most perfectly formed organic Yukon Gold potatoes, dozens and dozens of them. They were nestled in just barely under the surface waiting on us to harvest. I can honestly say that harvesting those potatoes is the closest I have ever come as an adult to finding a Golden Easter Egg. It just lit my soul right up! And then, something even more beautiful happened as we began to realize we had more than we could ever need, we started to share them with our friends. Who would have thunk? That shriveled-up, funky potato would be the gift that just kept on giving. It's true what they say, you know, one man's trash is another man's treasure! . . . #thismessisours #BHGstylemaker #gardening #thecabinclub #smallfarmcharm #homesteadersofinstagram #homesteaddreams #countrysideandfarmlife #slowandsimplelife #dollypartonismyspiritanimal #dollypartonfan

Spending a good portion of this rainy day rotating a few of our gallery walls because we are gluttons for punishment! #truestory #sendwine Living with the hubs is like living in an art gallery some times.... I never quite know what’s going to be on display when I get home from running errands or come down from taking a 🛀 ! I wouldn’t have it any other way! I love his eye for rad 🖼 & his need for our walls to never be boring or predictable. I will say though, I am glad this particular wall will be staying for a little while longer. It is my absolute favorite! 😍 . . . #thismessisHome #thismessisours #BHGStylemaker #BHGStylemaker2021 #bhghome #urbanart #streetart #artwall #gallerywalldecor #gallerywall #dominomag #ikea #obeygiant #pothosplant #juxtapoz #juxtapozmag
