๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿซ What to Bake in August!


Hey, Reader!

August is the month I bake with whatever's overflowing on the tables at the farmer's market and just... say yes to all of it.

Blueberries, peaches, early pears, tomatoes, garlic, herbs. Sweet, savory, doesn't matter. If it's ripe, it's going in something.

So for our Bake Club, I gathered 10 recipes I'll be making this August, inspired by seasonal produce. Let me know if you try any! ๐Ÿ˜

Guten Appetit!

And there's something about a homemade dessert that a gift card (or another grill spatula...) just can't touch,...
