  • Simple Orange Sauce

    I’m going to share this easy orange sauce because although it’s simple, it can be used for so many things. Simply combine all ingredients into a saucepan and bring to a boil while stirring continuously, then drop to low and… Continue reading

  • Green Chili and Smoked Cheddar

    This is delicious! 1 small can of drained green hatch chilies and 8 oz of diced smoked cheddar cheese. Fold in during your final shaping. You will not regret it! Continue reading

  • Cleaning Sourdough Jars

    Such a pain, right? Well, here’s a few things I have learned. Use COLD Water. I have no idea why, but it works so much better. Switch into clean jars once a week. It’s almost impossible to do daily, and… Continue reading

  • Simple Focaccia 🤍

    I over proofed my bread today so I decided to make delicious Focaccia. I’m typically a “bake the bread anyway” kind of gal, but I had 2 loaves and figured I’d just do one of each. I have zero regrets… Continue reading

  • Quick Rise Sourdough Sandwich Bread

    This recipe makes 2 loaves. You’ll be using both leaven and Yeast. If you do not have sourdough starter, you can still use this recipe but omit the autoalyse process. Just mix ALL ingredients for 5-6 minutes and allow to… Continue reading

  • Le Creuset All the Way

    Okay, I can’t speak for everyone, but there’s an incredible difference in my bread using this bread oven. The texture is better. It’s softer and has a crispy but far less dense crust, and the bottom is lightly toasted (not… Continue reading

  • Deer Run

    Love love love! This is the new 2024 upgraded version and it’s awesome. It has a remote control for your wrist that is fantastic and it feels so solid. Pull it out of the box and plug it in. It’s… Continue reading

  • Let’s Get It!

    My Deer Run arrived! Gary is turning our game area into a gym and I’m completely on board with it. I recently got rid of my pink treadmill bc it was so bulky (I traded Regina for a recumbent bike),… Continue reading

  • Sourdough Inclusion Favorite 💛

    This is my new sourdough inclusion I’ve been using, and it’s fantastic. It’s very strong though, so a little bit will do. When I do my final shaping I pull my dough in a rectangle and give it a little… Continue reading

  • Summer Dress Season

    I have to share because I’m so crazy about this dress. And it’s only 32$!! Gary ordered this for me, so I had no idea it was coming, so when it showed up I thought it was a mistake and… Continue reading

  • Cold Bake vs. Heated Vessel

    Ok, I’ll be doing a few tests for comparison, but today I went back and forth on whether I wanted to preheat my Bread Oven. I know it can be hard on the cast iron and enamel over time, but… Continue reading

  • My Le Creuset order arrived and I’m sooooo in love! The Nectar is such a happy color and yellow has been my color for as long as I can remember. I wanted it to match my dining room place mats… Continue reading

  • Yay Yay- Le Creuset

    Well, I cancelled my Amazon order bc they didn’t have my color in stock and I’m SO glad I did! I ordered my bread oven overnight straight from Le Creuset and I got a 2 piece bakeware set for free!… Continue reading

  • Failure to Launch

    I’m in troubleshooting mode. I’ll obviously have to cut into this loaf and look at the structure when it cools, but it produced a giant belly and a tiny ear. A small amount of spring but not like my usual… Continue reading

  • Leftover Steak Salad

    We had leftover ribeyes from our Easter cookout and leftover pimento cheese in our salads last night. It was soooo good. I enjoyed that way more than steak and potatoes! And yes, those are sourdough croutons. 😄 You can find… Continue reading
