Isn't bread just the best? Hands up if you're a true, die hard bread lover! 🙋🏻⠀
⠀
2020 has been hard and my thing this year has been trying to share recipes for comfort food. Food can bring us together, even when we're apart. Sharing recipes with people you love can help you feel connected. And to me, bread is so universal that it's the perfect food for this year. ⠀
⠀
We need a holiday devoted to bread. And I'd like to start that holiday. I'm thinking, make it long and full of yumminess! Who's with me? #Breadmas2020 starts December 1st! And I'm thinking The 12 Days of Breadmas! ⠀

It's American Thanksgiving this week, and I know it's been a weird year for everyone. Gathering with families and large groups is out for most of us, and that means a different way to celebrate. ⠀
⠀
Since a lot of folks will be in much smaller groups or with only one other household member, I've put together this perfect Thanksgiving Menu for Two. Full of fall flavours, and is a bit of a twist on your standard thanksgiving menu items. ⠀
⠀
Stay safe this holiday season! Check out the Menu at dorkylittlehomestead.ca or through the link in my bio! Happy Thanksgiving!⠀

It's a busy season in my work life. But I've still been working on something special at home too. Not quite ready to share the surprise, but it's coming and it's going to be tasty 😋😉

Well, we've pushed our garden as far as we can this year. And that means it's time for Garden Cleanup! Everyone closes their garden differently, but since there's so many new gardeners out there, I wanted to share the 6 Steps we take to Prepare the Garden for Winter!

Time for some super easy cheese making! Yoghurt cheese is a traditional food through out the Middle East and the very first cheese that I ever made. It's a great cream cheese alternative, and takes almost no time to make.

Heading into the winter (especially a winter that might be quite different than previous years) I've heard a number of people say they're looking for a new hobby. Why not wine making! It's a very fun hobby with tasty results 😋
.
.
Here's my post about the essential wine making equipment. Get into it with your social bubble or just by yourself as a personal challenge! And if you need gift ideas for your DIY-er friend, you could get them into it 😃

It's Friday! Yay! Time for an easy and delicious dinner! Coconut Chicken Strips are just what we need. They're baked instead of fried, and also gluten free! So you can feel good about having a slightly healthier option. Pair them up with the sweet potato fries and spicy mayo from earlier in the week and you're all set to start your weekend! ⠀

Got a tasty side dish for you this morning gang. Sweet Potato Fries! I think I ate sweet potato fries for the first time at some random pub when I was 13 or 14. And they have been such a treat since then. ⠀
⠀
These are crisp on the outside, and fluffy on the inside. And they're served alongside some homemade spicy mayo. If you haven't made mayo from scratch before, you should give it a try! It's so much easier than you might think. ⠀

You know that thing where it's really cold outside but you still want to eat a pile of s'mores while snuggling on the couch with a big mug of hot chocolate? no? hmm. Well you should probably consider it. Because it's time for Peppermint S'mores Jars!⠀
⠀
Homemade marshmallow, buttery graham cracker crumble, and @hummingbirdchocolate Peppermint ganache. All stacked up in a jar and ready to be munched with a spoon. While bundled up and cozy!⠀
