Well, we won’t have any sourdough this weekend 🫣

I had all of my loaves mixing on a timer (which I apparently misunderstood and thought the mixer’s built in timer was there to “set it and forget it”) when I heard the loudest crash from the next room over.

Somehow, my 150lb mixer scooted itself to the edge of the work table and fell onto our floor, cracking the flooring AND the sub flooring (my poor husband who now has to fix this 😣). Enough dough spilled to wipe out 12+ loaves!

Thankfully, my mixer is ok, so we will be back to normal sourdough production next week! 🥖

Sourdough will be in the stand this afternoon! We’ll have Rosemary Garlic and White Sourdough 🎉🥖 I’ll make a post once the loaves have cooled, are packaged up, and are ready to enjoy 🙌🏻

If you’ve noticed there haven’t been as many baked goods lately… we’ve been keeping a secret 🥲

We are expecting our rainbow baby this December! Praise the Lord 🌈🤍✨

“The Lord has granted us the desires of our hearts.” — 1 Samuel 1:27 🥹

Please join us in praying for a full-term, healthy, God-glorifying pregnancy.

I’ve got a couple of weeks left in the first trimester, and I’m slowly starting to feel like myself again. But working full-time while growing a tiny human has been a LOT, and I just haven’t been able to keep up with baking the way I used to so thank you all so much for your patience and understanding. We will still have sourdough tomorrow 🥖😅

The stand may be pretty empty these days… but our hearts are so full 🥰

Happy due date to our heavenly blueberry who we lost at 7 weeks. I can’t wait to meet you one day! We’ll get to walk the beaches of Heaven together and hear all about your time with Jesus, the disciples, and all of the other giants of the faith!

Thank you, Jesus, that we do not have to grieve like the world, but we get to grieve with hope 🤍🫐

Happy Saturday! Oatmeal Cream Pies and White Velvet Cupcakes are out. Reminder, White Velvet Cupcakes are just Red Velvet without the Red 40 😋

Sourdough needs to cool for a few hours before I package it, so I will have loaves out around 9am!

We’ve got sourdough 🥖♨️🤩 Original White and Jalapeño Cheddar will be at the stand all weekend. Unfortunately, I don’t have any eggs as my girls have been bitten by the broody bug and aren’t laying. They ALL want to sit, but so far only 1 hen has proven to be a decent mother… the rest of the chicks didn’t make it (one got stepped on by an emu 🫠)

My new normal will be bread on Friday, and baked goods out beginning on Saturdays 🗓️It’s getting to be a little too difficult baking as much as I used to without getting overwhelmed with my job on Thursdays 😅 I want the stand to be sustainable, and something I enjoy, plus, making this change will be better for you so you know what to expect when you show up at the stand on a given day 😊 As always, I am SO appreciative of the continued support from the community!!

I have 3 loaves of sourdough that didn’t rise properly (I have no clue what I did wrong 🙈). They are not up to my normal standard, but they shouldn’t go to waste! Make croutons, bread crumbs, French toast, or bread pudding. There are 3 free loaves. I’m at church now so I won’t be able to hold them, so first come first serve 😊✝️

If you just want sourdough to eat without having to be creative, I’ve still got loaves that rose properly at the stand too 🙌🏻

Have the best weekend ever!!! We’ll be back to normal production next week 🙌🏻

Sourdough is at the stand 🥖 We’ve got regular sourdough and Rosemary Garlic sourdough 🙌🏻

This week at work began a new quarter which meant longgg meeting days, so tomorrow (Saturday) I’ll have baked goods added and more sourdough! Happy Friday 🎉
