The Heat & Humidity, have come to NE TX, & when that happens, I cook with Whole Foods & fresh Garden Veg, to keep us healthy & energized.

I cook in Ghee for a higher smoke point to cook The Smash Burgers in, plus the ghee adds another depth of delicious flavor.

Pro tip: You can freeze the stuffed Burger Patties & Pull out as needed . Put Hamburger Patty between parchment & press with a Burger 🍔 Press, or put HB meat between two saucers & press. Then put fillings of your choice. I Add chopped red or yellow onion, cheese, sometimes chopped mushrooms. 🍄‍🟫 Put the fillings in. Put the top patty on and make certain all the sides are sealed.

Stack between parchment paper & Put in Freezer Bags. When you need Fabulous Smashed & Stuffed Burgers, just thaw & you are ready to cook a fine, Smashed Burger Meal.

Stay Hydrated & Know you have a friend in Texas, always lifting you & cheering you on, friend.

✨🥰✨Keep Shining & Eating good quality, foods, to keep you full of energy & vitality . ✨🥰✨

Much Gratitude & Love, for you,
Charla ✨🌱🕊️

🍽️ New Weekly Series: Crowded Table at August Creek Farmhouse 🤍

I’m so excited to invite y’all to gather ‘round for a new series I’m starting each week called,”Crowded Table — a celebration of Southern recipes,” I was raised on and the ones I’ve passed down to my children. One very special Southern recipe, I created, ( not actually, I was given a dream .) Yet, I took action & started an entire, Artisan Confectionery, thriving business. 🍫🍪

My Farmhouse Kitchen Table was so Crowded, with my Children, their friends, Family, co-workers, Friends, neighbors & many Strangers.
I loved & still love, “My Crowded Table.”

These are the meals that filled our kitchen with warmth, our bellies with comfort, and our lives with stories. From pot roast and cornbread to biscuits, Gumbo, Sweet Tea & Artisan confections, each dish carries a little bit of my Southern Heritage.

If your heart longs for tradition, simplicity, and a seat at a Southern Crowded table — come sit with me. There’s always room at my Crowded table. 🍽️

First episode drops next week — don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss it! 🥄✨

🌿 A Peaceful Sunday at August Creek Farmhouse 🌿

There’s just something sacred about a quiet Sunday. The world slows down a little, the coffee tastes a bit sweeter, and the back porch feels like the coziest place on earth. 💛

Here at August Creek Farmhouse, today has been full of the simple joys—birds singing just beyond the French door, biscuits rising golden in the oven, and a warm breeze dancing through the curtains. No rush. No noise. Just peace.

Sundays like this remind us to rest, to breathe deep, and to be grateful. Whether you’re spending today in your garden, curled up with a good book, or gathered around the table with loved ones, I hope you’re wrapped in calm and comfort.

From my heart to yours—wishing you a joyful, soul-soothing Sunday.
🌾 With love from August Creek Farmhouse 🌾
