🌻💚 MAMA KURTH’S KITCHEN IS HEATING BACK UP!!! 💚🌻

Wellllll, Grandma’s 75th birthday party brought in some more orders, and apparently it’s time to get back to baking!!! 🤣🤣

I've got bananas and carrots ready to mash and shred, and this weekend we're going to be making some goodies!!! Soooooo, WHO WANTS TO GET IN ON IT?!?!

Our newest orders include:

🥕 Carrot cake with homemade cream cheese frosting!

🍌 Banana bread sampler!

🍪 Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies!

Since I’m already going to have everything out and the ovens going, I figured I might as well see who else wants to place an order before I get started! 😂

We have all kinds of options on our Mama Kurth’s Kitchen menu, including regular banana bread, our Super Greens varieties, monk-fruit-sweetened options, carrot cake, muffins, cookies, and sampler trays!

And of course, I’m always experimenting with something new because apparently I just cannot help myself! 🤣

💚💚 TREVOR’S SUPER GREEN FUNDRAISER UPDATE!!! 💚💚

With our latest order from Grandma’s party, we have officially reached 78 OUT OF 400 SQUARES!!! 🎉🎉

Every single smiley face on this board represents another little step toward our goal, and it makes me so happy watching it fill up!

Thank you to everyone who has ordered, shared our posts, stopped by the Farmers Market, tried samples, supported Trevor, or simply encouraged us along the way. It all adds up, and we're getting closer every week! 🥰

So if you've been wanting to try something from Mama Kurth’s Kitchen, NOW IS THE TIME!

Get those preorders in for this weekend's baking!! Message me with what you're wanting, and we'll get you added to the list!

One family. One loaf. One dream at a time. 💚

🌻💚 MAMA KURTH’S KITCHEN — AVAILABLE NOW + A LITTLE BAKING PAUSE! 💚🌻
Wellllll… Mama Kurth’s Kitchen Khaos has officially baked me right out of supplies. 🤣 I am out of bananas, eggs, sugar, butter, cream cheese AND powdered sugar, so apparently the kitchen has decided it’s time for me to switch gears for a couple weeks. 😂
I still have some goodies available though, and most of the breads and cakes have already been freshly frozen so they stay good until they find their homes!
🍫 2 Chocolate Banana Bread Loaves — $15 each
🥕 4 Carrot Cake Loaves — $15 each
🥕 1 8x8 Carrot Cake — $15
Carrot cake comes with cream cheese frosting unless requested otherwise.
🧁 2 Six-Pack Muffin Packs — $15 each
Each has 3 Apple + 3 Regular
🧁 2 Two-Pack Muffin Packs $5
• 1 Apple
• 1 Regular
🍪🧁 4 Monk Fruit Muffin Packs $5
Each comes with a monk-fruit muffin plus 2 cookies
🛍️ 9 Mama Kurth’s Kitchen Sample Packs — $5 each
A little mixed taste of Mama Kurth’s Kitchen without having to buy full-size everything!
Once this inventory is gone, banana bread, carrot cake and cookie baking will be on pause until at least October 5th, unless I get enough preorders together to make restocking ingredients worthwhile.
You can absolutely still place an order! 💚 Just know there may be a couple-week wait before I can bake it.
Honestly, the timing is working out about perfectly because now I need to switch from Kitchen Khaos into full-on Rhonda’s 75th Birthday Party Khaos 🤣 while also juggling a busy week of subbing.
Sometimes things really do land right when they’re supposed to. ❤️
So if you want something from what I already have made, claim it before it’s gone! Otherwise, preorders are still welcome for the next baking round. 🌻
And THANK YOU guys for keeping me baking enough that I literally ran myself out of the basic ingredients. 😂🥹 That’s not the worst problem for a little growing kitchen business to have!

💚🌻 MAMA KURTH’S KITCHEN IS GOING OUT WITH A BANG AT FARMERS MARKET! 🌻💚
Okay guys… apparently somewhere along the way my little banana bread fundraiser turned into an entire bakery, party-tray operation, test kitchen, campground giveaway and general Mama Kurth’s Kitchen Khaos. 🤣🤣🤣
And I absolutely love it.
First things first… TREVOR’S BOARD IS UP TO 70!!! 💚😭
Seventy little spaces filled toward our 400 goal. Every loaf, order, market purchase, sample, share and person who has stopped to talk to us has helped move that board along. When we started this, I really didn’t know exactly what it would turn into. I just knew I wanted to keep working toward Trevor’s room, our family’s future and this much bigger Hope & Healing Haven dream.
Well… apparently it’s turning into a LOT. 😂
This Farmers Market will be my last one for the month. There is another market after this one, but this mama has decided that one belongs to my daughter and volleyball. 🏐❤️ I love building these businesses, but one of the biggest reasons I am building them in the first place is my family. So for that last market, I’m trading the baking table for the volleyball stands.
Which means… THIS ONE needs to be FUN. 😂🎉
I’ve been baking, freezing, packaging, experimenting and figuring out what I want to bring, and we are going to have a little bit of everything.
🍌 BANANA BREAD & MUFFINS
Original, Apple, Chocolate and Natural options, plus Super Greens options depending on the recipe. I’ll have regular goodies along with some monk-fruit-sweetened options too.
🧁 GRAB & GO GOODIES
2-pack cookies — $3
Mini loaves — $3
Tiny mini-muffin samplers — 4 for $3
Giant muffins — $3
Flower muffins — $4
And yes, somehow there are now several different sizes of muffins because apparently I cannot own one normal muffin pan and leave well enough alone. 🤣
🍪 COOKIES!
Chocolate chip cookies are coming back! I’ve only had them at market once so far, and now they’re becoming a whole thing too. 😂 A dozen is $15, and I’ll also have the little 2-packs.
AND… this is where things are getting fun:
🎉 PARTY TRAYS!
I already have an HHH banana-bread party tray put together, and now I’m making a chocolate-chip cookie party tray too. Party trays are $50.
I recently had someone at 312 already preorder cookie party trays — plural 😂 — for Halloween treats, so apparently that idea is taking off before I even officially introduced it.
We’ll also have $20 sampler trays, including a monk-fruit banana-bread sampler option. That way you can try different flavors without buying full loaves of everything.
I’ll have samples available at the table too because I LOVE letting people actually taste what I’ve been making. That’s half the fun.
🌱 For anyone interested in the monk-fruit or Super Greens products, I’ll have ingredient information with me, along with the actual products/packages so you can see exactly what I’m using and ask questions.
Any item made with monk fruit sweetener instead of regular sugar will add at least $5, depending on the item. Larger orders like party trays may be more because those specialty ingredients get expensive fast.
🥕 And while we’re talking about the kitchen getting out of control…
CARROT GOODIES ARE OFFICIALLY HAPPENING.
Carrot cake, carrot loaf/bread, carrot muffins, carrot cake cookies and soon… CARROT CAKE WHOOPIE PIES. 🤤
All carrot cake products come with cream-cheese frosting unless you specifically ask for them unfrosted because, really… if we are eating carrot cake, we might as well do it correctly. 🤣
I’m also working on a Cherry Cream Cheese Pie, most likely around $20, depending on what my grocery prices end up looking like.
I’ve finally reached the point where I needed to make an actual giant Mama Kurth’s Kitchen master menu, because apparently “banana bread fundraiser” no longer explains what is happening over here. 😂
And because clearly the baking wasn’t enough…
🎉🎬🏕️ WE’RE DOING A CRAZY KURTH CAMPGROUND & EVENTS GIVEAWAY TOO!!
Someone will win a PRIVATE PARTY OR GATHERING at Crazy Kurth Campground & Events!
Not a strict little “12 people and that’s it” package either. One of the reasons I’ve always liked hosting things at home is because I have a big family, lots of friends and I HATE when a birthday gets insanely expensive just because you want everybody together.
So I want this giveaway to represent what I’m trying to build:
💦 Pool parties
👩‍👧 Mommy & Me playdates
🎬 Outdoor movie nights
🎮 Gaming nights
🌱 Gardening nights
🧵 Sewing & craft nights
📿 Beading nights
🎂 Birthday parties
🍲 Potlucks
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family gatherings
🎉 Reunions
…or something else entirely!
Choose your kind of fun.
The giveaway will be redeemable through September 17, 2027. Reservation will be required, dates will be subject to availability, and we’ll work out the guest count, activities, setup and package details when the winner actually books it.
Potluck-style gatherings are absolutely welcome, because part of what I want Crazy Kurth Campground & Events to become is a place where families can actually get together, bring food, let the kids play, make memories and NOT spend an arm and a leg just to celebrate something.
Honestly, that giveaway is probably going to be the first real test run of future party packages… which of course immediately has my brain trying to design party packages already. 🤦‍♀️🤣 But one project at a time, Ashley. ONE. PROJECT. AT. A. TIME.
This whole thing just keeps growing.
Mama Kurth’s Kitchen started with bread. Then came muffins. Then cookies. Then trays. Then carrot cake. Now pies and whoopie pies. Crazy Kurth Campground started as us enjoying our own yard and having people over, and now I’m looking around thinking about movie nights, pool parties, playdates, craft nights and community gatherings.
And somehow it all keeps circling right back to the same thing:
Family. Food. Community. Hope. Healing.
So if you’ve been meaning to come see us at Farmers Market, THIS is the one to come to! 💚🌻
Come grab something for yourself.
Try a sample.
Check out the party trays.
Enter the giveaway.
Ask me what crazy thing I’m baking next. 🤣
And help us put another smiley face on Trevor’s board.
70 down… 330 to go. 💚
Thank you to every single person who has bought something, placed an order, shared a post, tried a sample, encouraged me, given me an idea, or simply stood at my table and listened to me excitedly explain whatever new thing I decided to add this week. 😂

🍌🍪 FARMERS MARKET TONIGHT!! 🍪🍌
Mama Kurth’s Kitchen has been BUSY over here again. 😂 Between baking, filling orders, playing with new recipes, processing what feels like a mountain of carrots, and apparently deciding that banana bread wasn’t enough and we needed cookies too… the kitchen has definitely been earning its name lately. 🤣❤️
Tonight at Farmers Market I’m bringing out something new for everybody to try! I’ll have FREE samples of my banana bread sweetened with monk fruit instead of regular sugar. I’ve been experimenting with this recipe because I wanted to see if I could make a different option that was still moist, still tasted like real banana bread, and most importantly… was actually GOOD. 😂 So come try some and tell me what you think!
And YES — Mama Kurth’s homemade chocolate chip cookies are officially available to order now too! 🍪 I’m offering them by the dozen for $15, right along with the rest of Trevor’s fundraiser goodies. Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are also being added to the lineup for fall. 😍🎃
I’m still working my way toward the carrot cake/carrot bread goodies too. I’ve got a freezer FULL of shredded carrots ready to go. 😂🥕 If I don’t get called into work, there is a very good chance I’ll be in the kitchen experimenting with those next, but I’m not promising carrot cake at market tonight until it actually exists. 🤣
All of this is still part of Trevor’s Super Green Fundraiser and helping us keep filling those little smiley faces on his board. We are currently at 58 out of 400, which still blows my mind every time I look at how far that board has already come. ❤️
So if you’re out and about tonight, come find us at Farmers Market, grab a sample, check out the updated fundraiser flyer, and say hi! Even if you don’t order anything, I LOVE getting feedback on these new recipes because apparently Mama Kurth’s Kitchen has turned into a full-blown test kitchen over here. 😂😂
Real people. Real food. Real hope. ❤️
One order, one loaf, one smiley face at a time.
And congratulations again to Kristen Mark, who hit our latest prize square! 🎉🥰

Soooo apparently Mama Kurth’s Kitchen has been way too busy being in the kitchen to actually post on the Kitchen page. 😂🤦‍♀️
I just realized my last actual post was AUGUST 26TH. Whoops. 😂 And boyyyyy have we been busy since then!!
The banana bread fundraiser has definitely NOT stopped. We’ve been baking orders, delivering orders, making Farmers Market sample trays, taking samples into school/work, experimenting with new recipes and trying to keep bananas ripening fast enough to keep up. 🍌
I’ve also been playing around with a monk fruit sweetened banana bread with unsweetened applesauce and vanilla, trying to come up with an option that has no regular sugar added but still actually tastes GOOD. Because nobody wants to eat “healthy” banana bread that tastes like cardboard. 😂 The latest test batch looked beautiful, the batter tasted good, and now I’m getting some taste-testers involved before I decide whether it earns a permanent spot on the menu.
Then apparently I decided banana bread wasn’t enough excitement and baked 167 CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES. 🤣🍪 This is my grandma’s recipe that my mom always made for our family, so these have a whole lot of family history baked into them too.
AND THEN THE CARROTS HAPPENED. 🥕🤣
I was blessed with a HUGE amount of carrots, Violet came over and helped peel and prep them, we broke out the new KitchenAid shredder attachment, and when it was all said and done I had 88 CUPS OF SHREDDED CARROTS bagged and frozen.
My carrot recipe takes 2 cups, so that is enough for about 44 batches of future carrot cake/carrot bread. 😳😂
So yes… carrot bread experiments are absolutely coming.
Violet has also been writing her hours down on a time card when she comes over to help because as HHH and Mama Kurth’s Kitchen grow, I want to keep track of the actual work people are putting into this dream. ❤️
Somewhere in all of that I’ve also been doing Farmers Market, filling orders, making deliveries, cleaning the house, keeping up with kids and sports, doing laundry, and occasionally remembering that sleep is a thing. 😂
So if this page has seemed quiet lately, I promise the Kitchen itself has NOT been quiet.
Mama Kurth’s Kitchen has been BUSY. ❤️
I’ve got more bananas ripening now, Farmers Market samples already made, cookies happening, carrot bread coming, and plenty more ideas floating around in my head.
Thank you to everybody who has ordered, sampled, shared, donated, helped prep, encouraged me, or simply followed along while I figure all of this out one batch at a time. 🥰
What would you want to try first — the new banana bread, Grandma’s chocolate chip cookies, or carrot bread?! 🍌🍪🥕

Ps my grandma's bowl is doing so much since I brought it home! 😍😍

🍌🌻 MAMA KURTH’S KITCHEN UPDATE! 🌻🍌

It has been a little bit of a slower week around here for banana bread orders and baking… and honestly, that is totally okay. 😂

Part of the reason is pretty simple — I didn’t have ripe bananas on hand!

I currently have enough bananas sitting here to make about 4 orders, but they need another couple of days to get nice and ripe before I turn them into bread.

Which has me wondering…

Is everybody getting tired of banana bread yet?! 😂🍌

Because I have been thinking that maybe Trevor’s fundraiser doesn’t have to be ONLY banana bread forever.

I already have quite a bit of the ingredients on hand to make chocolate chip cookies, and these aren’t just any cookies either. ❤️

They’re another family recipe that has been handed down. My mom was usually the one who made them for our family, but it was my grandma’s recipe too.

So just like so much of Mama Kurth’s Kitchen, there’s a little family history baked into them. 🍪❤️

And if you like the banana bread… just wait until you try the cookies! 😂

Although fair warning — they might end up a little green sometimes because I may add some of my natural greens to them. 💚😂

But green or not, they should still taste just as good!

Maybe we keep banana bread going for the people who still want it, but start mixing in some cookie orders too!

For now though, this week’s Farmers Market sample breads are going in the oven!

With my new work schedule starting, I’m trying to get myself into a new baking routine too.

My plan going forward is:

🍌 Wednesdays — Farmers Market sample prep and baking

🌻 Thursday evenings — Farmers Market

🍞 Weekends — baking and filling orders that come in from Farmers Market and throughout the week

If you place an order, I will let you know when it is ready for pickup/delivery once I have everything baked and packaged.

I’m still figuring out what this new work + school + baking + Farmers Market schedule is going to look like, so thank you for being patient while I get into a new rhythm. 😂❤️

And tell me what you think…

Keep the banana bread fundraiser going as-is?
Add Grandma/Mom’s chocolate chip cookies too?
Or are you all officially banana-breaded out? 🤣

Hope to see everyone Thursday evening for another successful Farmers Market! 🌻❤️

🍌💚 TONIGHT’S MAMA KURTH’S KITCHEN EXPERIMENT… NO SUGAR ADDED BANANA BREAD! 💚🍌

Wellllll… tonight I decided to experiment. 😂

I have been wanting to see if I could come up with a no sugar added banana bread for people who are looking for something a little different from my regular recipe.

So I made a test batch.

And yes… it is GREEN. 😂😂

That was not exactly the original plan, but after tasting the batter I felt like it needed a little help in the flavor department, so I started experimenting with some flavoring and, well…

Apparently we made Dr. Seuss banana bread. 🤣💚

The good news is that it actually baked up really well!

It rose nicely, held together, sliced well and had a pretty decent texture.

The flavor though?

That is still very much in the testing phase. 😂

So far I have had:

👍 ONE YAY — one of my testers said it wasn’t bad and he would still eat it.

👎 ONE NAY — another tester said NOPE, it needs some kind of sweetener, even if it is something like Splenda. 😂

And I agree that it still needs some tweaking before I would ever consider putting it on the menu.

I used unsweetened applesauce, vanilla and the bananas themselves for sweetness, but I think the next round may need a little more experimenting.

That is exactly why I test things before I sell them. ❤️

Now for the OTHER banana problem…

I officially used up the last of my good ripe bananas getting this week’s orders ready to go out the door.

And unfortunately, the giant batch of bananas I was trying to ripen and store in bulk earlier this week was sacrificed to the baking gods. 😂🍌

Let’s just say I learned A LOT about what NOT to do when trying to ripen a giant amount of bananas at once.

So unless I can find some more ripe bananas locally, it will probably be next week before I can make another big batch of banana bread.

SOOOO…

🍌 Does anybody have ripe or overripe bananas sitting around that you aren’t going to use?

The browner the better, as long as they are still good!

I would happily put them to work. 😂❤️

And if you have experience baking with alternative sweeteners or making no-sugar-added baked goods, I would love to hear what has worked for you too.

Round one of the experiment:

✅ Texture — pretty good
✅ Rise — pretty good
😂 Color — VERY memorable
🤔 Sweetness — needs work

We’ll keep experimenting.

Because apparently Mama Kurth’s Kitchen is part bakery, part fundraiser, and part science lab now. 😂🍌💚

🌻❤️ FARMERS MARKET UPDATE + A BIG GIVEAWAY ANNOUNCEMENT! ❤️🌻

Last night’s Farmers Market made me smile BIG.

Last week we had 5 total entries in our drawings.

This week, between the HHH Party Platter and our T-shirt giveaway, we had 23 entries!! 😭❤️

TWENTY THREE!

I also managed to go through all of the business cards I thought I had with me, which means I officially get to work on some new and improved business cards before next week. 😂 And hopefully some updated flyers too, because somehow this dream has grown even MORE in just the last couple of weeks.

So after thinking about how I want to handle the rest of Farmers Market season, I think I’ve got it figured out.

Each week, I’m going to keep the giveaways simple and offer some combination of the things you’ve already been seeing:

🍌 Mama Kurth’s Kitchen HHH Party Platter
👕 Custom T-shirt
❤️ Custom decal
🎁 Gift card

You can come by the booth and enter during Farmers Market each week.

BUT HERE’S THE FUN PART…

I am saving every single entry slip from every week in this basket. ❤️

At the end of Farmers Market season, ALL of those entries are going into one big Grand Prize Drawing that represents the different pieces of HHH Enterprises.

Right now, the Grand Prize is shaping up to include:

🍪 Mama Kurth’s Kitchen — a baked-good package, hopefully including some of our new fall goodies by then!

👕 Mama Kurth’s Kraftroom — a custom-designed XL shirt

❤️ Custom decal

📸 CKC Photography — a family photo session

🔥 Crazy Kurth Campground & Events — an experience prize!

The winner will be invited to join us as a special guest at Rhonda’s 75th Birthday Celebration on September 26th and get to experience one of our big family-style milestone celebrations. ❤️

There will be food, gathering, pictures, memories and plenty of the kind of chaos and fun that makes our events ours. 😂 Details will be announced as we get closer.

And because the drawing will happen close to the party date, I know the winner may already have plans or may prefer something a little more private.

SO…

If they can’t make the birthday celebration — or would rather have their own event — they can choose a Family Campfire Night for up to 8 people instead. 🔥🌭

We’ll provide the fire, hot dogs, s’mores, popcorn and a place to hang out and make some memories together.

This whole giveaway really represents what I’m trying to build.

A little baking.
A little creating.
A little photography.
A little gathering.
And a whole lot of family, community and memories.

One family. Many purposes. All under one mission. ❤️

And I LOVE that this basket is going to keep filling up every week.

Last week: 5 entries.
This week: 23 entries.

I cannot wait to see what it looks like by the end of Farmers Market season. 🥹

Come see us, grab a sample, enter the drawings, ask questions, take some information home and watch this crazy dream grow with us. 🌻❤️
