So many of us love our sourdough these days!

Kinda treat her like a child of our own 😉

But to be honest, somedays it’s more of a love-hate relationship… she needs feeding, the perfect temperature, constant attention.

There’s all this prep before you can even think about baking bread!

Sourdough loaves
Life with Miss Sourdough is very different than today’s world of fast and convenient meal options.

Because life with sourdough is not fast and convenient.

Nope.

It’s intentional, thought-out, and sometimes unpredictable.

Sometimes, no matter how hard you try to take careful care of that living, bubbling life, it just isn’t happy.

Especially with cold drafts sneaking through the house these days!

But when all the stars align…Wow.

How rewarding when the fresh bread smell fills the house, or the homemade pizza crust makes everybody ooohh and ahhhh! ✨

I am absolutely no pro when it comes to sourdough, but after years of chronic stress absolutely wrecked my gut, this humble little starter was a game-changer in my healing journey.

So I am in awe of sourdough.

I owe a lot to her for the MUCH healthier place I am at today. 🙏🏼

And she can be super fun too!

Sourdough chocolate chip cookies
Check out this delicious recipe for sourdough chocolate chip cookies.

Ya know, like the yummy ones pictured above.

A little treat for the family (and our guts) as we head *bravely* into February! 💪🏼

*Couple notes:

  • These cookies have a unique flavor! But for those with more sensitive tummies, you get the delight of the cookie with the extra digest help from Miss Sourdough!
  • The stronger your discard (that sharp vinegar scent), the stronger you will taste the sourdough.
