Souper Cubes

I use these for so many things! Perfect for freezing cream of mushroom soup, leftovers, veggies, or anything you need to freeze. I love that they are easy to store and don’t take up a lot of extra space once removed from the silicone container.

Nutrimill Harvest Grain Mill

I have been wanting to mill my own grain at home for such a long time! I finally invested in the Nutrimill Harvest Grain Mill and aI have been so so happy with it since!

Amazon

I try my best to add any of my favorite Amazon finds here! If there is something you saw me use but don’t see it here reach out!

Blackstone

I have been loving cooking on the Blackstone SO SO much! Highly recommend investing in one if you have been on the fence.

Sunrise Flour Mill

Heritage wheat that many find is easier to digest. Plus they have dehydrated sourdough starters!

Meater

This has been SO SO helpful in learning how to cook more on the grill! No more wondering if my chicken is undercooked or steak is over! So much peace of mind.

100,000 of you. Iโ€™m honestly still trying to wrap
100,000 of you. Iโ€™m honestly still trying to wrap my head around that.

What started as me just sharing what I was making for my family, little moments, and pieces of my life has turned into this incredible community, and thatโ€™s because of YOU. 

The comments, the messages, the times youโ€™ve made my recipes in your own kitchensโ€ฆ it all means more than I can put into words.

Thank you for being here, for supporting me, and for growing alongside me. I donโ€™t take a single one of you for granted.

Weโ€™re just getting started ๐Ÿค


Comment GARDEN and Iโ€™ll send you all the details t
Comment GARDEN and Iโ€™ll send you all the details to your inbox. 

The best thing about these garden beds is that they can be made to any dimension that you want! I created four 4x8 beds, two 3x8 beds, and two 2x3 beds using the exact same method each time!

Materials (for ONE 4x8 bed)
* (4) 2x8 boards, cut to 8 ft long
* (4) 2x8 boards, cut to 4 ft long 
* (24) 3โ€ exterior wood screws 
* (4) 2x4 boards, cut to 14โ€ long

Instructions
1. Cut Your Boards (if needed)
Cut your boards to length before assembling. We had (4) 12โ€™ boards, we cut into an 8โ€™ board and 4โ€™ board. However, you can also buy (6) 8โ€™ boards and then cut 2 of them in half. 

2. Drill Pilot Holes (optional)
On each 8โ€™ board measure ยพโ€ in from each end and Drill 2 pilot holes per end, spaced about 2โ€“3โ€ from the top and bottom
This helps prevent the wood from splitting when you add screws.

3. Build the First Layer (Bottom Frame)
Lay out:
 * (2) 8 ft boards (long sides)
 * (2) 4 ft boards (short sides)
Form a rectangle with the short boards sitting inside the long boards. Then attach the boards using 3โ€ screws into the pilot holes you created in the previous step. 

4. Stack the Second Layer
Repeat process by placing the second set of boards directly on top of the first frame, lining up edges carefully

5. Add Corner Supports 
Place the 2x4 board inside each corner
These should sit flush with the bottom and sit an inch below the top. 
Screw through the outside boards into the 2x4 board once in the top 2x8 board and once in the bottom 2x8 board. 

 Pro Tips
Use untreated cedar for best longevity, however I used fir for a more cost effective version. These may only last me 5 years, BUT the cost of cedar deterred me from going that route. 

Avoid pressure-treated wood unless itโ€™s labeled safe for gardens

Use a garden safe stain on the interior before filling to help with board longevity.
