🥕 Homemade Pickled Carrots — Mimi’s Kitchen

There’s something so delicious about homemade pickled carrots! The combination of fresh carrots, dill, garlic, and tangy vinegar creates the perfect crisp, flavorful bite.

Pickling vegetables is easier than you might think, and it’s such a wonderful way to preserve the goodness of the season. There’s nothing better than opening a jar of homemade pickled vegetables during the fall and winter months and enjoying a little taste of the garden. 🥕🌿

If you’ve been wanting to try canning and pickling at home, Mimi’s Kitchen has the perfect recipe to get you started! Simple ingredients, lots of flavor, and made with a little love. ❤️

One of my favorite frostings from Mimi’s Kitchen 🤍🧁

This Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting is light, fluffy, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet. It has all the delicious flavor of traditional cream cheese frosting, but with a softer, whipped texture that makes it perfect for cakes, cupcakes, and so much more.

Made with just four simple ingredients—cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy whipping cream—it comes together beautifully and tastes especially delicious served chilled.

I recently paired it with my Chocolate Zucchini Cake, and the combination is absolutely amazing! 🍫🤍

One of our family favorites! 🤎🍫

This Chocolate Zucchini Cake with Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting is incredibly moist, rich, and full of chocolate goodness. The zucchini keeps the cake wonderfully tender, while the light and creamy frosting is the perfect finishing touch.

It’s one of those tried-and-true recipes that never lasts long in our house—and you’d never guess there are 3 cups of zucchini tucked inside! 🥒🍫

🎉 Funfetti Birthday Fun at Mimi’s Kitchen! 🧁💕

Mimi’s Kitchen had the sweetest time hosting a Funfetti Birthday Party for one very special little girl! 🎂✨

We welcomed 10 amazing little bakers into the kitchen, and they absolutely rocked it! 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 From mixing and baking to decorating and, of course, tasting their creations, there were plenty of smiles, sprinkles, and laughter along the way.

There’s something so special about watching little hands learn new skills, get creative, and feel proud of what they made. 💕 Thank you for letting Mimi’s Kitchen be a part of such a fun birthday celebration!

Making sweet treats & even sweeter memories! 🧁🎉💗

🥔 Our First Potato Harvest! 🥔

We tried growing potatoes for the very first time this year at Olin Farms, and I’d say our first experiment was a success! ❤️

We planted our potatoes in hay and surrounded them with wire fencing, then waited to see what would happen. And look at all these potatoes! We ended up with a beautiful mix of red and yellow potatoes—some big, some tiny, and everything in between. 😂🥔

Next year we’ll probably change up our growing method a little to see if we can get more of those nice, big potatoes, but that’s part of the fun of gardening—every season teaches you something new.

There’s just something so satisfying about digging into what you grew yourself and seeing what’s underneath. 🌱➡️🥔

Year one of potato growing is officially in the books! Now…what should we make with all these potatoes? 😋

Welcome to Mimi’s Kitchen 🌿🍅🌽

Mimi’s Kitchen is all about good food, simple living, and preserving the goodness God provides. ❤️

Here you’ll find a little bit of everything from my kitchen and garden—cooking, baking, home canning, pickling, freeze-drying, vacuum sealing, gardening, preserving fresh fruits and vegetables, and good old-fashioned homemade recipes.

One of the biggest reasons I created Mimi’s Kitchen is to share these skills and teach others how to do them too. Whether you’ve never canned a jar of vegetables, baked something from scratch, preserved a garden harvest, or you simply want to become more confident in the kitchen, I hope you’ll learn something here and be inspired to give it a try.

I love taking what we grow and turning it into meals, baked treats, and food our family can enjoy throughout the year. I’ll share step-by-step tips, recipes, techniques, successes—and probably a few lessons learned along the way!

Mimi’s Kitchen isn’t about perfection or fancy cooking. It’s about learning skills, passing down traditions, feeding the people we love, and making memories around the kitchen table.
