It’s easy to customize according to different seasons as well when you vary the essential oil you use.

But… like most things that I pin, I forgot about it until recently....
This DIY Linen Spray is easy to make with all natural ingredients, and so much more affordable! I’ve never actually bought linen spray, the price tag has always been a little too high.

It all started with a partial package of cream cheese. Luckily I happened to have some other delicious ingredients like prosciutto hanging around, and this skillet dinner came about! Most of our dinners, and a good part of the recipes that make it to the blog, start with a little something leftover I have on hand. In this case it happened to be cream cheese, with that I added some herbs fresh from the garden, and used it to stuff the chicken with some fontina....
What is it about baking that’s so much more fun than making dinner? Is it because baking is usually for something out of the ordinary, or that it’s a way to show loved ones how much we care? Whatever the motivation happens to be, baking is one of my favorite activities, I’d even go so far as to call it a hobby. But I’ll tell you something that you probably already know, grain free baking is another beast altogether....
