Well, based on my last post, I feel like I would have seen this coming. Last week, I deleted the Instagram account I had for this blog. Without any fan fare or much forethought I decided it was time for it to go. The main reason being that I realized (with some surprise) that IRead more
All work and no baking makes Sophie go something something… Crazy? Don’t mind if I do! Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop. 😀 It’s been a very full month around here and I’m really missing baking up new (and old) recipes to munch on and share with you all! I did manage to whip up a batch of theseRead more
So I’m a little behind the eight-ball with this post as I first made this bread last weekend, but I’ve got another batch rising as I type! I wanted to experiment with something a little different so I went perusing through my Mom’s wealth of bread books and happened upon a flax and sunflower seedRead more
I hadn’t made bread for a few weeks and was starting to struggle with when to fit it into my schedule. I start to get a little cranky when I don’t make time for creativity (and tinkering with bread is a big one for me). Then a thought gently floated into my mind and suddenlyRead more
CHOCOLATE! All I could think about with Valentine’s Day coming up was chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. I had my heart set on making some ooey, gooey brownies for me and my man so I went poking around Pinterest to see what I could find. Good grief. I almost gagged at the amount of butter and theRead more
I may have squealed a little when Carly asked me to write a guest blog post for Modern Hippie Housewife. I knew exactly what recipe I wanted to share: this delightfully fancy looking but oh so simple apple cake. This is a recipe that my Mom has been making since she was in her twentiesRead more
I really wanted to wait until I had my hands on some spelt flakes again before sharing this recipe with you, but lo and behold I found an ancient grain cereal blend in my local grocery store! I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw the words “ancient grain” printed on an actual package.Read more
Homemade spelt pizza is a regular occurrence here for dinner… it’s so simple and tasty and such a good way to use up random veggies and things hanging out in the fridge, hence ‘kitchen sink’ pizza. This dough uses more yeast than my Spelt Flour No Knead Bread recipe and that’s mainly for convenience soRead more
Today was a shitty day. Woke up with a sinus migraine that just would not go away. The whole day was essentially a wash, except for these bad boys I had tucked away in the freezer from last week. Chocolate does wonders when you are not feeling up to snuff. If I had my way thereRead more
Blueberry, bran mmmmmmmmmuffins! Mom and I have been tinkering with this recipe for quite some time to get it just right. I’m really not a fan of those dense muffins you find at most bakeries that require coffee, tea or water just to get them down. Bleck. These guys on the other hand have aRead more
When I asked the birthday boy what kind of cake he wanted and he replied “carrot cake” I died a little inside. My only experience of carrot cake to date had been those big slab ones made in a deep baking dish… so not ‘birthday worthy’ cake. So I went snooping online and the first recipe thatRead more
