Happy 4th of July Reader! Whether you are cooking for today, getting ready for the weekend, or just trying to decide what to make with fresh strawberries, I wanted to send a few recipes that fit right in with the holiday. This time of year always makes me think of simple food, something on the smoker, fresh berries, homemade desserts, and maybe a bonfire later in the evening if the weather cooperates. If you still need a dessert, this strawberry pie is a good one: Homemade Strawberry Pie with Fresh Strawberries It is made with fresh strawberries and has that classic summer flavor that feels just right for the 4th of July. It is also a good recipe to keep in mind any time strawberries are in season. Another good strawberry dessert for today is this cobbler: Easy Strawberry Cobbler Sourdough Discard Recipe This one is so good warm from the oven, especially with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream on top. Best Homemade French Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Recipe If you have never made homemade ice cream, this is a good one to try. It is rich, creamy, and perfect with cobblers, pies, brownies, or fresh berries. For something savory, this smoked turkey breast is a great option: The Best Smoked Turkey Breast Recipe, Tender, Juicy & Easy It is tender, juicy, and a good choice if you want something a little different from burgers and hot dogs. It would be perfect with simple sides, fresh corn, rolls, or whatever you already have planned for the day. And if you are smoking meat or grilling this weekend, this homemade BBQ sauce is a good one to have ready: The Best Easy Homemade Smoked Meat BBQ Sauce Recipe It goes well with smoked turkey, ribs, pulled pork, chicken, burgers, and just about anything coming off the grill. And if you are feeling a little adventurous this weekend, homemade s’mores are always fun: Homemade Milled Wheat Sourdough Graham Crackers How to Make the Best Homemade TEXAS Size Marshmallows The homemade graham crackers and big fluffy marshmallows make such a fun from-scratch treat, especially if you are planning a fire or have kids around who love roasting marshmallows. I hope you have a safe and happy 4th of July, with good food, a little time outside, and maybe something homemade on the table. If you try any of these recipes, tag me on Instagram @idiesfarm. I would love to see what you make! From my kitchen to yours, Stephanie I'd love to have you follow along here: |

Hey Reader! If you read about our skid steer fiasco a few weeks ago and thought that was entertaining, well, apparently we like providing ongoing entertainment over here. Last weekend’s episode: the pool wall. Getting to this point has been a project all by itself. We have only had weekends to work on it because Theron works during the week, and it felt like every single weekend brought another torrential downpour. So trying to get the ground leveled, sand hauled, and everything ready has...

Back-to-school season is here, and whether your kids go to school, homeschool, or you are just trying to get back into a steadier rhythm, this time of year always makes me think about easy breakfasts and simple snacks.
