This is my 1st series on my blog. It started all the way back in 2019. Recently been updating them. It has been fun to look back at them and see how much I have grown as a baker. Back then I didn't really know what way I was going to be writing. But, as you can see for the most part anytime I am using fresh fruits or veggies they came from a food distribution or a food bank. I want people to see my posts and know that they aren't alone.

My mother's mother always had the ingredients on hand for a cake or a fresh batch of dinner rolls, and it didn't take much to convince her to bust them out. My father's father, on the other hand, was a man who lived to feed his community. He grew up during the Depression, and nothing gave him more joy than laying out a giant table of food and sitting back to watch his loved ones eat. I learned the joy of good food from both of them.
