The most accurate way to measure flour is by using a kitchen scale. BUT if you’re not weighing your ingredients (I never do!) you can get pretty darn close using this method… Spoon your flour into the measuring cup and then level off the top. Don’t pack it in. Don’t scoop it with the measuring cup directly from the flour bag. Doing these things will compress the flour into the measuring cup and can add a significant amount of extra flour to your recipe. Spooning the flour into the measuring cup and then leveling it off will get it fairly close to the weighted amount. Even small fluctuations in the amount of flour in a recipe can affect the texture- so this is important! Did anyone teach you how to measure flour properly? Or have you learned through trial and error?

You guys NEED to know this! Pinterest is FLOODED with AI recipes. Can you spot which of these 3 recipes is NOT an AI recipe? Key things to look for when spotting whether a recipe will be reliable: -do the measurements make sense? Does the butter to flour ratio look balanced? – do the pictures look real? Is the cake cut how you would normally cut a cake? Are things stacked in the image that would never stack in real life? These are AI photo red flags! 🚩 – no process pictures- this is a big one! A lot of AI blogs only have a small handful of final product pictures that are AI generated, with no process photos in the recipe. Groceries are expensive, yall! Don’t waste your hard earned money on ingredients making recipes that will never turn out well. This is why using reliable food blogs is a must! I’ve tagged a few of my favorites in this reel 😳

I’m just saying…

Dinner on the grill. Happy hour on the patio. The dog & the kids. Conversations about life, faith, and everything in between. Mumford & Sons on the speaker. All after a long week of honest work. This is peak marriage in your late 30s and no one can convince me otherwise. ❤️

Be honest- did you know that brown sugar is just granulated sugar with molasses?? 1 cup of sugar + 1 tablespoon of molasses to be exact 😏
