Tristan’s Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts

Tristan Chambers, the middle child, is a wonderfully creative soul.  She is the best of both parents; wildly independent, entrepreneurial and creative. I’m always excited to see her and learn what she’s been up to during the week.  She comes up with great ideas and runs with them whether that’s making her own kombucha, pickling vegetables (just because she loves pickles) or repotting succulents!  There are great things to come from this Padawan and she makes a mean appie!
