Baking’s for Summer Learning, Gardeners, Camp or the Grill
The summer temperatures have arrived even though we are still a few weeks away from the official start of Summer. Summertime brings out different cooking techniques, such as using the grill, or using more portable burners while out camping. Be sure to harvest fresh fruits and vegetables from your garden and cook them using different cooking methods.
Top Baking Hack: Bake with fruits, herbs and vegetables harvested now. Grill asparagus, broccoli and scallions to wrap in basic French crepes or flat bread recipes. Bake shortcake or rhubarb pie. Bake bagels for your next hike, bike or camping trip.
