About nine months ago I drastically changed my diet and started eating gluten, sugar, dairy and nightshade free. OH MY GOD. This has been the most difficult thing EVER. It has also made blogging far less fun because I LOVE BAKING. I LOVE SUGAR. I LOVE BREAD. I LOVE WHOLE MILK. For nearly nine months […]

Our Favorite Summer Pizza on the Grill
We live in a pizza town. Considering the size of our town there are an awful lot of pizza shops (aka over 10). When a new business is opening up the local social media pages all say…please, not another pizza place! We have our favorite amongst the plethora of choices, but sometimes it is just nice […]
Molasses Bread
When I was a little girl we always had a bottle of molasses in our kitchen cupboard. It is my very first memory of seeing a food product. To the right of our stove in the upper cabinets the little glass bottle with the rabbit on it seemed like it was always there. I even […]
Pumpkin, Port & Gingerbread

Hop Pickle & Prosciutto Sourdough Bread
So disappointed with the amount of sugar in breads from the market, we often opt to make our own sourdough bread but don’t often change up the flavor of it. This time we wanted something different. We began with 400 grams of unbleached flour. To that we added in 300 grams of sourdough starter. Add […]
Spitfire Beer Sourdough Bread
When your “weekends” fall on Mondays & Tuesdays it isn’t quite the same as a luxurious Saturday or Sunday. Mondays and Tuesdays are full of regular chores that just happen to have to get done on your days off. There is no sleeping in (the kids need to get to school) or thick Sunday editions […]
