Hey! It’s August! The baskets reflect the bounty of high summer with several new offerings. Yippee!!!
So much potential for fun recipes. I’ll share an absolute favorite of my family’s, as all of the ingredients are present. I love this recipe. I always double and triple it so that I can have the leftovers for breakfast the next morning.
Before I share, though, I would like to thank the Aldrich family for taking such good care of the farm while I was away, and to shareholder Tom Innes and fiance for donating some of their time to weeding the garden. (It’s in a pretty sad, sad state this year.) I appreciate all of your time and support. Truly.
