Been a little quiet on our page recently, as we are just back from our latest family adventure, a 10 day road-trip to Utah! This experience was a bit bumpier than the last few (to say the least 🫣), but we still came home with some incredible experiences and memories (and lots of learnings) from our time in the desert.

We're back to our regular sourdough baking schedule this weekend - if you'd liked to place an order for a large sandwich loaf ($16) or small sandwich loaf ($10) send us a message by Friday. We'd love bake for you! Pickup at our home in Apple Valley on Sunday, cash or Venmo accepted!

The winter / spring rollercoaster continues, but these garden "babies" are thriving!! We are already daydreaming of fresh slices of tomatoes stacked on BLTs (with sourdough bread, obviously!) and burgers, home canned salsa and spaghetti sauce, fresh pesto, green beans, carrots...YUM!! 🍅🌶🫑🥕

Accepting bread orders for this weekend - send us a message by Friday evening, we'll have it ready for Sunday pickup!

Anyone else eating a lot of post-Easter ham leftovers this week? 🙋‍♀️ Nothing like a grilled ham and swiss sandwich on some sourdough sandwich bread! 🤤

We're taking bread orders for this weekend, send us a message by tonight to order a small sandwich loaf ($10) or large sandwich loaf ($16). We bake to order and will have your freshly baked bread available to pick-up at our home in Apple Valley on Sunday. We accept cash or Venmo.

Also - if you'd like to place a weekly or bi-weekly recurring order, you can! Flexible to pause or cancel anytime, but one less thing for you to remember to place an order each week. We'll just have your bread ready and message you for pickup!

Believe it or not, we do eat more than just sourdough in this house...although it does find a way into many of our meals...🤔 We went through a phase of making sourdough tortillas last year. It's a pretty tedious process but with delicious results. Imagine my surprise when I found we still had a package of tortillas in the freezer!

So, I made these delicious Poblano Enchildas last weekend: https://www.girlgonegourmet.com/poblano-chicken-enchiladas/

With a few tweaks, of course. I added black beans and shredded cheddar to the enchilada filling, and a scoop of greek yogurt to the sauce to thicken & make it creamer. Last year was the first time we grew poblano peppers and I roasted and froze them - this recipe sold me on growing them again for sure! Only the oldest kid complained about the spice (but she hates enchiladas anyway 😂)

We're still baking our delicious sourdough sandwich bread this weekend if you'd like to get a bread order in - message us by Friday evening. Pickup at our home on Sunday before 11, or later in the evening (when we're back from celebrating Easter with family)!

Wishing everyone a Happy Easter!

These enchiladas are all about the creamy poblano sauce. The rich sauce flavored with peppers and cilantro is so delicious. A rotisserie chicken makes these enchiladas so easy to make.

We're enjoying this brief reprieve from winter with sunshine and mild temps, plus a bonus day off today for all of us. After we got back from a nature hike, I made the kids some sourdough discard pancakes for lunch. I'm terrible at snapping pictures (and they inhaled them before I could!)

Sourdough Discard pancakes

1 cup sourdough discard
1 cup flour (or sub 1/4 cup of the flour for 1/4 c plain protein powder)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 eggs
1 cup milk
2 T melted butter
1 T sugar (I used maple syrup)

Mix dry ingredients first, then add wet ingredients ingredients and mix just until batter forms. Scoop about 1/4 c batter at a time into a pan or griddle to form cakes and fry, flipping once, until lightly browned on both sides. Serve with maple syrup or your favorite jam or fruit butter!
