How to Make Soft Sourdough Sandwich Bread + 3 Helpful Tips
With a soft texture and buttery flavor, it’s no wonder my family loves this sourdough sandwich bread so much. But my homemade bread wasn’t always this good. When I first started replacing all of our store-bought bread products with homemade sourdough options I was a little nervous. I saw the traditional sourdough loaves and although they look beautiful and taste amazing, they are not a soft sandwich loaf that we were used to. Then I found a recipe for a soft sandwich loaf from Lisa from Farmhouse on Boone and I was so excited! But as with anything new, I didn’t get it right the first time. My first many…

The Best Pancake Recipe with Sourdough Discard
I never used to eat pancakes with my family on Saturday morning. But now we use this pancake recipe with sourdough discard and I can't resist. I'm sure I'm not the only Mom whose kiddos LOVE pancakes. It's one of their favorite breakfast foods. In part because I generally make them on Saturday mornings so they aren't a regular everyday breakfast, but also because this recipe is AMAZING.

The Best Lemon Ricotta Cookie Recipe with Sourdough Discard
This winter I began my sourdough journey. It led me to a simple and easy sourdough lemon ricotta cookie recipe that is perfect for Spring. I’ve mentioned this past fall here that I struggle with cooking and baking. Not that I’m not good, although I can assure you I’m not an artisan chef. I’m probably just regular good. My kids tell me that I make the best food, but as sweet as that is we all know they eat meals prepared by me more than anyone else haha! Regardless, I’m always afraid of trying a new recipe and setting it before anyone other than my little family. I’m sure this…

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
There is nothing more warm and cozy than fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies right out of the oven on a cold winter day. The way the oven warms the house, and the smell lingers long after the cookies are finished baking is beyond words. I want to give warm and cozy away for Christmas, so I decided homemade chocolate chip cookie dough was the way to do it. Back when I was working as a nurse, I walked into the breakroom for lunch and discovered a stack of papers sitting on a table. They were copies of a chocolate chip cookie recipe. I grabbed one and I am sure glad I…

Original and Meaningful Family Tradition: Passing On A Legacy of Love
Every year, in preparation for Thanksgiving Day, my family holds “Baking Day”. This began a few years ago and has become very important to our family. This is one of our most meaningful family traditions and is nearly prized as much as Thanksgiving Day itself. Thanksgiving Day has changed over the years. Especially now that we kids grew up and started families of our own. I remember Thanksgiving Days with over 40 people in my parents’ house. I remember Thanksgivings where I spent half the day with Mom and the other half with Dad. Now my husband and I alternate Thanksgiving between his family and my family every other year.…

Zucchini Recipe: Summer Produce Pizza
We have a garden for many reasons. We love watching the butterflies and bees pollinating everything, having garden picnics, and honestly, I even love sitting beside the beds pulling weeds. There is something magical about the garden. I feel so much peace listening to the birds and I especially love watching the girls run around the paths between the beds. While this is all beautiful, the main reason we have a garden is to eat fresh fruit and vegetables. We picked our first zucchini and we are going to use it in one of our favorite zucchini recipes today. When we had our first garden I struggled with the zucchini.…
