Ugly pretzels taste just as good. Let's bake. 🥨 Perfection is not required. Progress is. Henry ⭐🔥

I wanted hamburgers for dinner so o made some buns from scratch. Senior Kane’s recipe, tanghzong method.

I had some sausages I wanted to ‘cue so I found this recipe in the recipe index.

I've been heads-down building new recipes for the Recipe Pantry this week, getting everything ready for the holidays. Then I came across this photo from last year. This is my cranberry walnut chocolate chunk sourdough. Just look at it. Tart cranberries against that open crumb. Toasty walnuts folded throughout. Pockets of dark chocolate that turn soft and gooey when you warm up a slice. This is the loaf that tastes like December. ❤️ I'm not giving it all away just yet. But when holiday baking season rolls around, you're going to have some new recipes waiting for you. I can't wait to share them. 🎁 Tell me in the comments. What's the very first holiday loaf on your baking list this year? ~Henry⭐🔥

I was craving for cookies and decided to bake some chocolate chip cookies. I added some chopped walnuts to it. I wanted to play around in my safe and happy place, my kitchen. I decided instead of individual cookies why not a bar cookies and easy peasy and less work as it is steamy and hot here. I was going to cut them smaller, but on second thoughts I decided not too. The dough was very short and crumbly. I opted to cut them larger. So, I can cheat and say I ate one, but infact I ate 2 cookies. This is portion control at it's best. 🤣 Here is the recipe if you would love to try it. The whole house is smelling like a chocolate walnut bar right now. If only I could just inhale and not eat it to lose some weight. Temptation is at play which is no good. I better share them with my neighbors out of sight, out of mind. 🤣 https://www.farmhouseonboone.com/sourdough-chocolate-chip-cookies/
