Today, our kitchen was buzzing with scratch-made goodness. We kicked things off with some blueberry-lemon cornbread biscuits, using locally sourced whole wheat flour and cornmeal. They were a perfect match for the fresh strawberries from Hillcrest Orchard—so good! Lunch was a new adventure with baked teriyaki chicken over rice, paired with roasted carrots and red peppers. It turned out absolutely delicious! For breakfast tomorrow, we've prepared some breakfast energy bites, packed with protein to get the kids ready for their field trip.
