I am very excited to share this post for two reasons:

This is the first giveaway here at The Farm Files

and

I get to introduce to you Kaitlin, the talented designer behind Bloom.

If you've never made marshmallows from scratch, you really should give it a try.

They are so light and fluffy and much more delicious than the ones found on the grocery store shelves.

The process does involve melting sugar, and using a candy thermometer, but you can do it.

Is there any soup that doesn't taste better when served in a freshly baked bread bowl?

You should try making your own because they are easy and {I think} really pretty.

They take a simple soup to the next level and make it a little special.

After all, we eat with our eyes first.

Plus they're just plain fun.
