Today We are exploring Wisconsin … did you know cheese curds are not always deep fried ?

🧀✨ Just discovered squeaky cheese and I'm officially obsessed. Did you know that squeak = freshness?

🤯 It’s actually the sound of fresh cheese curds rubbing against your teeth — and yes, it's as oddly satisfying as it sounds.

Basically, it's cheese that talks back. 😂

If you've never tried it, you're missing out on a snack that's part science experiment, part dairy dream. 👀🔥

After 90 days of sun, soil, and a little sweat

my garden finally gave me cucumbers worth bragging about! 🥒🌞

Today, I learned how to pickle for the very first time and it feels like bottling up summer itself. Crisp, tangy, and 100% homegrown. Is this what garden glory tastes like? 😄✨

Have yall tried to pickle anything yet this summer ??
