february printable is here — an illustrated recipe!

hi friends!! i did something a little different for this month's printable — i decided to try my hand at illustration bon appetit's blueberry ginger pie recipe, the first pie i made in my recent pie baking adventures! it's the first pie i had made in several years, and while it wasn't perfect it was definitely delicious. this was also a good first foray into illustrating recipes, since i'm hoping to maybe make a fun fika recipe zine (maybe!!)
