Recipe Review: Sourdough Discard Pretzel Bites
Hello! If you've been with me on my journey for a little while, you know that I have been on a journey in 2024 to make my very own sourdough starter. It has took a while for the starter to get 'ripe' but I am still trying to work with it regularly so it can... Continue Reading →

This sounds like a kitchen OOOPS! This is a really fun question though because I think this has happened to most people who own a stainless steel pan. Whether the pan got too hot, you took your eyes off of it for too long, or maybe it just wasn't your day - don't worry, this... Continue Reading →
