Marmalade was the theme of the weekend. Now available: lemon, orange, tangerine, and tart tangelo marmalades. #marmalade #citrus #smallbatch #somuchchopping #homemade #cottagefood #shopsmall #shoplocal #sandiego

These are what I affectionately refer to as 'the uglies.' They're perfectly delicious baked goods that for one reason or another came out a little wonky, and I love them for their oddness. This week I have three loaves of sourdough and a tray of cinnamon rolls if anyone else would love their own 'ugly' treat

Come down and shop 20 different local vendors! We will be here until 4pm today

Come out to the Lakeside VFW tomorrow and help jumpstart local small businesses opening back up

Come get your last minute gifts while they last! We'll be here until 1pm

If you want to do some last minute shopping and support local makers come join us this Saturday!

This is a beautiful sight. Not sure how I did it, but I managed to get 62 baskets in this suv. Whew, I need a nap.

My very own take on moose munch popcorn. I'm including it in large baskets this year, or you can get your own big bag #popcorn #candy #gifts #dessert #christmas #celebrate #holidays #homemade #shopsmall #shoplocal

Would these look great on your dessert table for Christmas? They're a favorite this time of year #christmas #cookies #dessert #thatsmyjam #celebrate #local #shopsmall #sandiego

These are little bread bites, and they are the perfect breakfast addition. Especially with a little jam! Zucchini bread and pumpkin spice bread available today. #bread #carbs #veggies #breakfast #bakery #snack #pumpkinspice #zucchini

It's been almost a year since my last one, but we are finally back to having events! Join me this Saturday 10am-3pm for the annual Ladies at the Lake holiday kickoff fall market.

Cranberry sauce time! It smells like the holidays in the kitchen today #fall #thanksgiving #christmas #cranberrysauce #holidays #celebrate #homemade #thatsmyjam

Gearing up for the holidays! That's 120lbs of fruit ready to be pie, jam and cranberry sauce. Not pictured are the 20lb pumpkins that need roasting and pureeing for pie and butter. It's going to be a delicious last 3 months of 2020 #pumpkinspice #pumpkinpie #holidays #halloween #thanksgiving #christmas #celebrate #home #shopsmall #shoplocal #supportsmallbusiness #wahm #womeninbusiness

It's feeling very Fall in the kitchen this week. New to the menu: pumpkin pie, pecan pie, Dutch apple pie, and snickerdoodles. #happyfall #fall #pumpkinspice #pie #holidays #celebrate #enjoy #family #shopsmall #shoplocal #supportsmallbusiness

If only all bosses appreciated their teams as much as this one does. Enjoy your goodies ladies! #gifts #appreciate #thankyou #homemade #smallbusiness #shopsmall #shoplocal

In preparation for the holidays I'm experimenting with pies. Any interest in homemade pie for your holiday celebration? #homemade #pie #pecanpie #pumpkinpie #applepie #holidays #celebrate #family #thanksgiving #christmas #shopsmall #shoplocal #womenentrepreneurs #womeninbusiness #wahm

About last night... You may know I've recently added sourdough to the menu, but did you know it's vegan?? That's right, no eggs, butter etc. It doesn't even have sugar! I made my starter using natural yeast from apples and have never added sugar It is, however, amazing warmed up with a bit of butter #vegan #sourdough #bread #artisan #homemade #cottagefood #smallbusiness #shopsmall #shoplocal #sandiego

These gorgeous organic local figs are so yummy. The jam pairs well with wine, cheese, crackers, or baked goods. #fig #figs #jam #thatsmyjam #local #localproduce #localfarmers #organic #shopsmall #shoplocal #wine #cheese

Come out this Saturday for an evening market to beat the heat. I have a couple wonderful friends helping me out for the day

What started with a 12 count box of jars has now become truck deliveries on a pallet. Thank you to all my wonderful customers, family, and friends for your support these past few years and especially the last few months when I had no idea how to move forward #thankful #support #family #friends #shopsmall #smallbusiness #covid_19 #sandiego #elcajon #local #womeninbusiness #thatsmyjam
