Blog Moving

May 22, 2016

In an effort to streamline my business focus I’m now blogging exclusively at blog.gathergoodsco.com. The content will remain much the same as over here. In fact, my first post is the recipe for this Strawberry Buttermilk Rhubarb Cake below. If you’ve enjoyed reading my content in the past, please consider subscribing to the rss feed here. And remember, there will no longer be new posts at this blog, however the old content will remain up. Thanks! -Michelle
