Label maker your books

Sandy B makes great books. We do not agree on what “ugly” means. I grabbed a label maker and made the book better. No regrets! See also writing notes in cookbooks, so much easier to remember to double the cinnamon!

Strawberry Cake Excellence

I've spent years making this cake so that I can love it as much as I love summer strawberries. Here's my tips: 1) Bake it in a springform pan. Edges get crispy, won't go soggy when you store it 2) Do 1/4 cup of fun flour like buckwheat or teff or semolina. Have yet to find barley flour. 3) Make it with a flax seed egg (1 Tbsp ground flax + 3 Tbsp water/milk + 15 min) This is more out of necessity but the flax also brings some texture

Tin Roof Ice Cream

I don't know why this is so hard to find but it's due for a comeback! Vanilla ice cream, chocolate covered peanuts, chocolate ribbon. The ice cream IS the sundae

Cherry Pitter 🍒

Essential tool for feeding kids cherries. Also means adults can eat cherries without all the hassle. Plus, allows you to make cherry pit syrup with ease: https://www.seriouseats.com/cherry-pit-syrup-recipe Only notes are that OXO needs to make an olive green version for olives 🫒
