A Seasoned Kitchen

Happy Monday!

We’ve had quite a few new friends join us here lately, so welcome to A Seasoned Kitchen!

Today was Azure pickup day, and this 50-pound bag of organic confectioners’ sugar felt like the perfect way to show you what ASK is all about. I put thought into the ingredients I bring into my kitchen, right down to the powdered sugar that goes into your frosting and glazes.

Around here, you’ll find baked goods made from scratch with ingredients chosen on purpose. I love taking familiar favorites and making them with the care I’d give something served at my own family table. And yes, there’s room here for gluten-free friends, too!

If you’re new, I’m so glad you found us. Stick around for fresh bakes, a peek into the kitchen, and plenty of good food. 🤍

Intentional ingredients. Exceptional flavor.

A little view from my kitchen sink this Saturday morning. 🪟

A friend’s daughter once asked me, “Do you ever get tired of washing dishes?” The honest answer? Of course I do! But when I look up and see this beautiful view, it helps me take a breath and keep going.

After a busy week in the kitchen, today calls for a good kitchen reset: dishes washed, counters cleared, and everything ready for the next bake. There’s something lovely about starting fresh. 🤍

I’m also working through a few kinks on the website and hoping to have it open for daily orders by October 1st. Thank you for being patient as I get everything ready. I can’t wait to welcome you there!

When baking day requires a little pick-me-up… ☕️🤠

Espresso poured into a fun cup with vanilla Cowboy Colostrum and Laird coconut creamer. Simple, creamy, and just what this baker needed to keep those ovens going!

Not sponsored—just sharing what’s in my cup. 😉

Twenty-five years ago, September 11 became the day our generation would never forget—our Pearl Harbor.

It is hard to comprehend that more than 100 million Americans alive today had not yet been born. They did not witness the planes, the towers falling, or the heartbreaking images that remain forever etched in our memories.

But they also did not witness what happened afterward.

New York became a community, and the United States became one. We prayed together. We mourned together. We stood beside strangers and called them neighbors. First responders ran toward danger, ordinary people became heroes, and Americans from every corner of the country asked, “How can we help?”

Today, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives taken, the families forever changed, the heroes who sacrificed everything, and all those who continue to carry the physical and emotional scars of that day.

May we tell their stories. May we remember the unity. May we once again choose compassion, courage, prayer, and love for our neighbors.

September 11, 2001.
Never forget. 🇺🇸

Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸 Goodbye, summer…hello, fall! 🍂

Thankfully, here in Texas, we can barbecue year-round! 😉 A heartfelt thank-you to everyone working today. For those who are off, enjoy this time with your family and friends, eat something delicious, and have some fun!

Happy Labor Day, y’all! ❤️🤍💙

Delivery Day to HAVEN & ROOTS! I can not express the joy of packing these special gf sourdough loaves and then to see my friends Francy and Bryan! It’s going to be a Good Friday. What’s your favorite loaf?

The “BER” months are here—and you know what that means in A Seasoned Kitchen! 🍎🍞🍂

September • October • November • December bring cozy kitchens, warm spices, fresh-baked breads, beautiful pies, and desserts made for gathering around the table.

My fall calendar is already filling, so reach out early for celebration orders—and keep watching for special bulk-bake days and seasonal favorites!

Intentional ingredients. Exceptional flavor.

🌾 THE KITCHEN IS OPENING AGAIN! 🌾

After a much-needed pause to unpack, organize, and settle our family—and my bakery—into our new home, the kitchen lights are coming back on and the ovens are warming up!

Beginning Wednesday, September 2, you’ll once again find ASK’s gluten-free breads and cake pops at HAVEN & ROOTS!

Bakery posts will also return daily, so keep a close eye on the page. I have some fun Bulk Bake Days planned with limited quantities—and when they’re gone, they’re gone!

September is already filling quickly. If you need a custom cake, cupcakes, cake pops, bread, or another special treat for an upcoming celebration, now is the time to get on my calendar. Availability is first come, first served.

The boxes are unpacked, the kitchen has found its rhythm, and I’m so ready to bake for your families again. Watch closely—you won’t want to miss the first Bulk Bake Day!

Intentional ingredients. Exceptional flavor. Just ASK.

Making cakes for my kiddos is always one of my favorite things! 🎂❤️ This year, I had to make a 16-year-old cake for the baby! 🥹💙

He is so much fun to celebrate—except he prefers ice cream over cake, lol! 😂 I made the vanilla cake base and then went to get my ice cream maker… only to realize I couldn’t find it! 🤦‍♀️ Apparently, that’s the first thing I’ve needed since the move that I didn’t have unpacked yet. Oops! 😂

Thankfully, Blue Bell came to the rescue, and the birthday boy was still happy! 🍦🎉 Everyone else loved the cake, so I’d say it was a success!

🍅 The first taste of fall is officially in the pantry! 🍅

There is just something about a kitchen full of fresh tomatoes, canning jars, and the smell of sauce simmering on the stove that makes my farmhouse heart so happy. ❤️

I was incredibly grateful to get my hands on 55 pounds of beautiful, clean organic tomatoes, and every last one was processed into the most AMAZING homemade pizza sauce!

Fifty-five pounds of tomatoes. Lots of washing, chopping, simmering, seasoning, and canning later…and I’m looking at those jars with the biggest smile. There’s something so satisfying about taking simple, wholesome ingredients and preserving them to enjoy around our table for months to come.

This officially kicks off my fall canning season, and I couldn’t be more excited! 🍂🍅🫙

Here’s to full jars, stocked pantries, messy kitchens, and getting back to the old-fashioned goodness of knowing exactly what’s in the food we feed our families.

And this is only the beginning… 🤎
