The stinging nettles are growing wild on the farm! In this episode, I forage for stinging nettles to make a Stinging Nettle Pesto Babka spiral bread and Stinging Nettle Cake with Strawberry Icing 😋 This video also features campfire cooking and relaxing country thunderstorm ASMR sounds.
Welcome to my cozy fantasy world of cooking! These soothing ASMR sounds and gentle music will transport you to my cottagecore kitchen and hobby farm with our cat and chicken friends. Come enjoy the beauty of nature and slow living in the countryside with me. I hope you enjoy this week's video of my fairytale country life!

loved the thunderstorms, we get some beauties here in the spring & summers too
so enjoyed seeing the kitties & happy that you took even more in with the new Stubby(?) & the surprise kitten, did she only have one kitten? hope they settle in to their new home
wow those nettle bakes looked amazing! are the recipes in your book as well? am saving up to get it (hopefully)
well take care of yourself, surround with all the cats, mine always help me feel better too
your garden is starting to look stunning! curious as to what those beautiful purple 'pom pom' flowers were/are? & hope you show us those other bushes that had buds all over, when in bloom, they would be stunning also, love flowers & am slowly getting myself a collection of edibles growing as well; love how you cook with them

Esa ternura con tus animales, la abundancia del frondoso verde alrededor de tu estancia, los sonidos tan impresionantes de la madre naturaleza con sus tormentas, lluvias....ese fondo de paisaje contrarrestado de su natural luz.
Es todo tan sensorial, tan elegante con tu vestimenta, esos colores ...aaaiiiiss me encanta¡¡¡¡¡

hi Kayla, Camping sounds wonderful to me, so relaxing sitting around a campfire. it has been many many years... now it is hotels , however there are wonderful cabins in Mi. along the lake and at night seeing the Mackinaw Bridge is so joyful !! Cake looks yummy, how was it ? was it a little scary eating Nettles? Your kitties are all so adorable! Love your countryside in Iowa , my dear mother-inlaw was raised there ,she was a lovely woman and good cook too ! Blessings from Indiana ~~ Paula

Thank you, Paula!! ❤️ Yes, cooking with the nettles was a bit scary. I’m always afraid I’ll get stung even after all of the precautions 😅😂 But the cake was amazing. tastes just like a lemon cake but brilliant green!

The nettle cake is incredibly beautiful with the strawberry frosting and flowers and being all green inside. I'm in the South of Alaska and have nettles coming up here too, mine look a bit different than yours. Everyone likes to use the nettles here too but I have never seen a cake like your amazing one. We also have peonies like you do but ours bloom much later and create a market for later weddings. We have many peony farms in Homer Alaska as it's known as the peony capital of Alaska. Just curious will you be getting your female cats spade?

Do you think the stinging nettle would keep its green color throughout the sourdough process? I love that green. 💚 😍 I have tried many natural products like beet root powder for pink (didn't stay), purple sweet potato powder for purple 💜 (it worked great), & so on. I think I am going to give it a try. ❤❤❤
