While visiting family on the East Coast for Thanks While visiting family on the East Coast for Thanksgiving, I got to visit the @kingarthurbaking company's pop-up shop!! It was really nice to see all the different products that I only usually browse in the magazine. There were so many goodies to choose from! Now I'm inspired for all the holiday baking ahead! #kingarthurflour #kingarthurbaking #shop #flour #baking #holidaybaking #bakinginspiration
Thanksgiving is next week and I have been waiting Thanksgiving is next week and I have been waiting for the perfect time to share this wonderful little cookbook that my dad found for me this summer! Put out by the Plimoth Colony historic society, this cookbook is not even a hundred pages long but it's full of wonderful historic recipes, snippets from first hand accounts and amazing culinary history! I really want to try that cranberry pie 😊 #pilgrims #pilgrim #thanksgiving #plymouth #plimoth #plimothplantation #cookbook #cookbookstagram #history #culinaryhistory #foodhistory
This is what it looks like when you forget to take This is what it looks like when you forget to take pictures of your finished pumpkin pie before your family devours it! 😆 Last week I was experimenting with a 1950s pumpkin pie recipe and I'm really happy with the results! The recipe will be up on the blog next week in time for Thanksgiving! And a little hint for those of us that like to cook with fresh pumpkin - did you know that you can cook your little pie or sugar pumpkins in the InstaPot?! Mine only took about 12 minutes to cook perfectly through! May be handy to know during the holiday rush 😁 #pumpkinseason #pumpkin #pumpkinpie #pie #vintage #retro #1950s #baking #vintagebaking #thanksgiving #foodhistory #culinaryhistory
It's pie season!!! 🥧 One of my favorite dessert It's pie season!!! 🥧 One of my favorite desserts is ready to have its moment to shine this month 😊 So I thought that this month we would also explore the history of pie. I couldn't believe I hadn't written about the history of pie yet but better late then never! Take a look at the latest post on the blog. What's your favorite type of pie? I've got some pumpkins that are ready 😉 #pie #pies #piehistory #history #bake #baking #pumpkin #yum #autumn #fall #culinaryhistory #foodhistory

It's pumpkin season! It doesn't really feel entire It's pumpkin season! It doesn't really feel entirely like autumn to me until the pumpkins show up. Did you know that there are over 100 varieties of pumpkins and gourds? Many of them are grown with a specific purpose in mind like pies, carving or decorations. Pumpkins are native to North America and featured as one of the "three sisters" in the Native American growing traditions. Because they lasted well all winter with their think skins, they were an important food source. Seeing pumpkins just makes me smile 😊 What is your favorite way to enjoy the pumpkin? #pumpkin #gourd #pumpkinseason #autumn #fall #pie #threesisters #nativeamerican #gardening #foodhistory #culinaryhistory
Took a little unplanned break from posting here on Took a little unplanned break from posting here on Instagram, but I'm back now 😁 I've still been posting on my blog though and this month we are taking it home to the farm! Since it's harvest season, the farm seemed like the perfect place to highlight. It have always loved farms and farming! There is nothing like working the land and getting your hands dirty ☺️ It's a dream of mine to own a little piece of land to farm on one day! Until then, I'm enjoying learning all about the amazing history of American farms! Food history starts on the farm 💚 #farm #farming #land #autumn #fall #harvest #harvestseason #america #americanfarm #vintage #foodhistory #culinaryhistory
Made this amazing carrot sourdough cake last week Made this amazing carrot sourdough cake last week from @kingarthurbaking It was super delicious, stayed moist even after being in the fridge for a few days and you couldn't taste the sourdough at all! 🤤 If you are looking for something new to try with your sourdough starter, I highly recommend this! I'm making it again this weekend! It's the perfect thing for autumn baking 🍂🍁 And side note for anyone wondering, my sourdough starter is doing great at four years old 😁 #sourdough #sourdoughstarter #carrot #carrotcake #cake #sheetcake #baking #autumn #kingarthurflour #kingarthurbaking #delish
This summer I went on a working vacation up to Mic This summer I went on a working vacation up to Michigan with my brothers. After the trip, before we went home, we had a chance to enjoy the quaint little downtown of the town we were staying near. We managed to wander into an amazing three-story antique shop and spent two hours walking around and looking at everything! It was like waking back in time 😁 Of course, I had to share some photos of all the historic kitchen tools, cookbooks and old food packaging that we found! It was amazing to see the old designs of the kitchenware and the name brands that no longer exist! #vacation #summer #summertime #michigan #history #antique #antiquestore #antiquecookbook #cookbook #kitchenware #foodhistory #culinaryhistory
