einkorn sourdough shortbread cookies

It's cookie time! Einkorn sourdough shortbread cookie time, to be exact. Our favorite local-ish coffee shop makes an incredible einkorn shortbread cookie, and I decided to try to recreate the recipe to enjoy at home, but with fermented for easier digestion and a fun new sourdough recipe to share with you. Not baking sourdough yet? [...]

We returned from a super fun summer trip to Central Oregon with a bag of brioche buns from one of our favorite spots, Sparrow Bakery. And I knew exactly what we'd use them for (see our favorite stops here). We also returned with delicious turmeric jalapeño kraut from our friends Jake and Kali, gifted during [...]

Our garden is booming this year! And I am having fun finding way to put the fruits (and veggies) of our labor to good use. Evie is having so much fun helping her dad and me in the garden, and I love seeing her pick produce straight from the ground to eat right then and [...]

Creamy lemon and thyme dressing

This recipe was a happy accident on our recent family vacation to a beach house down in California. I was on salad duty for our family's Fourth of July bbq, and we had leftover sour cream from sourdough tortilla tacos the evening before. I had some apricots and arugula, and I knew I wanted lemon [...]

cornbread sausage stuffing bake

We're going on two years of enjoying this bake as a very special Christmas Eve brunch. That said, it's great all season long, and we've had it many times as a new family favorite dinner too. Moist sourdough starter cornbread, local sausage, and best flavors of the season all in one, this stuffing is sure [...]

balsamic roasted brussels

Anyone else out there not convert to a brussels lover until adulthood? I was not into them as a kid. Maybe it was the way my mom hated them because of the way her mom boiled them (sorry, Grandy, but ew). Once I discovered the magic of a good quality fat, salt, flavor, and a [...]

raw probiotic lemon berry “cheese” cakes

I am clearly on a summer dessert kick right now. Maybe it's because the weather has been absolutely gorgeous for the past two weeks. Because of the weather and the season and my general proclivity for being outdoors, we've been spending most days outside. I've even got a work station set up on our back porch. [...]
