Oh hey IG!
It’s been a minute since my last post!

Homemade butternut squash soup is on the menu accompanied by some sourdough grilled cheese sandwiches!

Love me some soup weather!

Forget-me-not fun fact: the yellow ring at the flower’s center fades to white after pollination, signalling to insects there’s no more nectar. The insects therefore learn to visit the flowers that haven’t yet been pollinated, ensuring no forget-me-not flower is forgotten

Nature is pretty cool, don’t you think?!

This weekend the kids asked for homemade sourdough biscuits for their sausage gravy.

I couldn’t say no — I absolutely love when all my babies are sitting around the table admiring the love and work that goes into their homemade meals.

Thank you bug, .marie, for capturing this photo ❤️❤️

You learn something new everyday!

Everyone who has ever sewn has a tomato pincushion... our Grandmothers, mothers, aunts, literally everybody, and I wondered why. According to folklore, people once thought the tomato was a symbol of good fortune and prosperity. So when people moved into a new home, they placed a tomato on the mantle. Since tomatoes are only seasonal, the ladies would create them from fabric and fill them with leaves and things from the outdoors.

During this same era, the ladies did all the sewing for their families. Their hand needles were very important, so they placed their important hand needle in their fabric “good luck” tomato and the tomato pin cushion was born.

The little strawberry that is attached is filled with sand, and is used to sharpen the pins and needles.

When I think of the pin cushion, I see my grandmother’s wrinkled hands, the bright red tomato next to her, sewing away. The tomato may not bring prosperity and good fortune but it definitely has some beautiful nostalgia. 🍅

When that ear flips and the crust crunches just enough 🤤 🤌🏼

Y’all! This is my best loaf yet! My starter was insanely perfect, and this loaf was made with a very easy ✨SAME DAY✨ recipe!!

To score this beauty, I used my brand new lame which made scoring a breeze! If you are in need of a new lame that’s ergonomic and super easy to use, I highly suggest this brand. Their attention to detail from the beautiful box, blade cover, amount of replacement blades and your choice of handle - it’s a must have tool in your sourdough journey!!

If you want this recipe, just say RECIPE below!

Since GMOs are sneaking their way into our foods, as of late, I threw out my beloved Best Foods Mayonnaise and decided to make my own! 
Super easy ✅ 
Simple, clean ingredients ✅
Much healthier ✅
All you need is 
• 1 -1 1/2c of avocado oil
• 1Tsp Celtic salt
• Ground mustard seed (I eyeballed mine)
• Lemon juice (I eyeballed mine) 
• room temperature raw egg 
I used an immersion blender and blended ingredients right in my mason jar 🫙 moving blender up and down until mixed well (took about minute!)
Store in fridge up to 2 weeks and enjoy knowing that you’re enjoying something much healthier than the store bought version! This is a 10/10
