Does your sourdough starter have a name? I’ve noticed that many of my blog friends name their sourdough starters. Now, I know that the starter is technically alive, but somehow I’ve never felt the need to call mine by name. Since it’s non-sentient, it doesn’t seem to mind. It bubbles along [...]

We are lucky to have an abundance of delicious carrots at our local farmers market. It’s one of my favorite purchases every week. They even come with the greens attached. I’m sure there’s a cooking method for the greens, but I haven’t yet experimented with them. Anybody have any recommendations for [...] I’m looking for a few good book recommendations. It’s time to start making my summer reading list. I’ll be taking a trip in a few weeks so I need to discover some good books for the journey. I’ll tell you about my latest read and share a recipe, and then you can [...] I’ve got a problem. I’m obsessed with fresh berries from the farmers’ market. I simply can’t leave without a pint or two or three of strawberries. This past weekend, as I approached my favorite berry farmer’s table, I spied the blackberries! Perfectly ripe and sweet, I knew they wouldn’t last long. [...] My friends, this recipe has been months in the making. It’s been tested, revised, re-tested, and overhauled from scratch by yours truly. Because, let’s face it, pizza is a serious matter. Soon after I began to bake my own bread I started experimenting with pizza crust. I found a delicious and [...] Sometimes good breads come in small packages. This bread was not a high-riser, but it certainly packed a lot of flavor! I may have used pans that were too large for the amount of dough. But looks aren’t everything, and I’ll eat a good slice of bread no matter what shape or [...] After all of the baking I did last week for the bake sale, I was ready to make some quick and easy muffins! I was all out of fresh fruit (oh, the horror!), and when I opened the cupboard it was the cornmeal that spoke to me. It was begging to be made [...] I’m learning to bake vegan. I really enjoy eating vegan goodies, so naturally the next step is to learn to make them myself. I baked a vegan cake last year (before I started blogging), and it was amazing! This time, I tried my hand at vegan muffins. I don’t drink cow’s milk, but [...] I am so thrilled with this bread! You see, sourdough starter and I have had an on again-off again relationship for almost two years now. I cultivated a starter from scratch. It was bubbly and it smelled nice and sour. I used it to make pancakes and cake, with wonderful results. But [...] When I learned that bread could be baked without commercial yeast, I had to give it a try. I love finding new ways to become self-sufficient, and making bread with a wild yeast culture definitely appealed to me. Plus, it sounded like a fun science experiment with the added result of delicious homemade [...] |
