We recently visited Chimney Rock State Park in Bat Cave, North Carolina and I wanted to share an iPhone photo gallery. Enjoy!

Just wanted to share this lil before and after situation from when I made challah this last weekend. And in case you were wondering, yes I am made of bread now and no, my gut hasn’t been fighting me on it.

Split the challah recipe from @thebakefeed and made these Swedish cardamom bun-inspired challah braids. I couldn’t find pearl sugar so I used plain nonpareils and feel like a dang genius. . . #paintedfork #asheville #bakefeed #bakefromscratch #baking #bread #challah #avlfn #foodblogfeed #baked

Currently waiting on the rain to let up so I can run to the store for this weekend’s baking project supplies. In the meantime, here’s a pic of some tasty and ~fancy looking~ apps to try before peaches are gone for the season! Simply layer ricotta cheese and fresh sliced peaches on pieces of crusty bread and bake til cheese is bubbly. Top with flakey sea salt, fresh basil, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Enjoy! . . . . #paintedfork #peaches #recipe #appetizer #homemade #foodblogfees #feedfeed #baking #avl #asheville #summerrecipes #fall #fallrecipes
