  • 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

  • Pimento Cheese!

    Yesterday we wanted something light for lunch because we were grilling steaks for dinner, so made Pimento Cheese and Chicken Salad to eat with our Sourdough bread and it was a big hit. I used a pretty generic chicken salad… Continue reading
