Over the last few years I’ve made it my mission to learn how to make the softest, fluffiest, chewiest, naturally leavened bread with my sourdough starter. This easy sourdough boule is the result of much practice and formula testing. I wanted to keep the recipe very simple and straightforward so that even an amateur sourdough …

I love it when a recipe is born from leftover ingredients! This recipe for tart and jammy Cranberry and Sourdough Pastry Pinwheels came about when I found myself with an extra pie crust pastry and a whole bunch of dried cranberries. I really love my new Sweet and Buttery Sourdough Pie Crust. It tastes like …
Every nourishing diet should include plenty of organ meats from healthy pastured animals. But it’s not always easy with the modern palate. If you didn’t grow up eating things like liver, kidneys, and other organ meats, the preparation and taste can be a little, well, off-putting. It takes time to get over the squeamish feeling …
It had been over a year since I had pasta of any sort. That just wouldn’t do. Pasta is such a comfort food, it actually feels unsettling to not have pasta for that long a stretch. So I decided to create a pasta recipe that uses all properly prepared grains. I’m passionate about the proper …
Your nourished morning just got a little easier! Everybody loves waffles but not everybody does well on conventional waffle recipes. If you are passionate about proper grain preparation you will love this recipe for sourdough and sprouted whole wheat waffles.

Nothing makes me feel more festive during the holidays than a big plate of fudge. I love seeing it on cookie platters and it’s always the first thing I reach for. Unfortunately, most fudge recipes are so overly sweet that my teeth would curl if I tried to eat them today. That’s why I’ve been …

This easy crust comes together in a matter of minutes so it’s perfect for those busy weeknights when you don’t have time to prepare a fermented sourdough crust in advance. And the crust …
I only recently started to explore the magical world of elderberries, and there is so much to learn. I wasn’t introduced to elderberries as a child and I didn’t even know about them until about 10 years ago. Now that I know how amazing they are, I scan the Oregon roadside and trails for elderberry …
Coconut butter fudge has been my go-to treat for a few years now. When I get a craving, it’s usually for sweets and fats. Coconut butter fudge always delivers the goods! It is such a satisfying snack that I never need more than one or two small pieces to feel content. And it’s made with …
I may have created the perfect food! These miniature maple apple pies are like little bites from heaven. The rich, maple- and cinnamon-flavored apple filling is encased in a buttery pastry crust made with traditionally fermented sourdough. Each little pie is a perfect single serving so they are great for kids, parties, gatherings, or sweet …
Every so often I get a real hankering for fried chicken strips! Chicken strips are one of those comfort foods that are so crave-able. I used to make them once in a while with panko and vegetable oil (before I knew better). But now that I have completely quit eating vegetable oils and all commercial …
Sourdough pie crust has been on my back burner for some time now! I finally had the time and opportunity to play around with my recipe and develop the perfect sweet and buttery sourdough pie crust. Even though I wish I’d done it long ago, now I can give you a real traditionally fermented pie …
In an effort to bring you everything sourdough, I now present you with sourdough clafoutis. I just couldn’t resist the challenge of making clafoutis with sourdough. The part of my job I love the most is recipe development. And developing this one was tasty! I used fully fermented sourdough starter, pastured eggs and butter, organic …
It doesn’t matter whether you say “sherbert” or “sherbet,” you can’t go wrong with this easy, healthy, three-ingredient variation on the old classic! I’ve always said “sherbert” and I probably will for the rest of my life. Does that make me some uncultured dummy? No! It makes me just like everyone else in America! Words …
Dutch oven whole stewed chicken is one of our family favorites. My husband is especially fond of this authentic preparation with its rich flavorful broth and tender meat. When I say I’m going to be making this dish, he gets “that” look in his eye. My mom always said, “kissin’ don’t last, cookin’ do!” I …
Crepes are a lovely alternative to pancakes and they can be filled or topped with a huge variety of both sweet and savory fillings and sauces. As much as I love my slow-fermented Sourdough Pancakes, I love crepes even more because of the ease of the recipe! I use sourdough discard for this recipe. Sourdough …
