Hi friends! I hope you had a great Easter weekend last week! But I'm also looking forward to this weekend. After all the Easter gatherings, I'm ready for a lazy type of weekend! I’m just popping in really quick this Friday to share my favorite tool for sourdough baking, and it's probably not what you expect: ChatGPT (the free version)!
But, as always, use common sense, as ChatGPT lacks the actual sourdough baking experience (duh). It’s great for numbers and suggestions, but always double-check any process or recipe steps it may suggest.

Wishing you a restful weekend (hopefully including the above-mentioned chocolate muffins!), Tina |

It’s a basic step that helps the dough get better at absorbing water, becoming...
Hey! Last night, I managed to sneak away to the movies with one of my best friends. It’s something I love but rarely do these days, what with small kids and all. Just being able to watch a film from start to finish without interruptions was... I can't even tell you how great it was! It reminded me of how much I enjoy these moments of doing something a bit nostalgic with my friend. Something else I don’t do as much as I should… connecting with people I like over the things I love. Hence this...
Hi! I'll keep it short and sweet this time - literally! We're talking about sourdough pie dough today. And if you think pie doesn't deserve its own conversation...I'm sure you'll reconsider when you try SOURDOUGH pie crust. This week, I have a new guest post on my blog: Chelsea from Little Fisher Farmhouse! And she makes a killer sourdough pie crust. She also made a DETAILED guide about how to make sourdough pie crust, start to finish. The thing I like most about sourdough pie crust is that...
