Hey Reader,

What’s your signature dish you can’t go to a summer cookout without?

Mine is Greek pasta salad. I’m not a big fan of mayo-based salads, so anything with a vinaigrette-style dressing is right up my alley. Add feta, olives, and fresh veggies… and I’m very happy 😄

Last weekend, my family and I celebrated Father’s Day at my house. It was such a nice, relaxing day with lots of good food and plenty of baby snuggles.

This week, we finally got some much-needed rain here in Massachusetts. It came down so hard that my shallots were practically sitting on top of the soil the next day, so I ended up pulling some and roasting them with eggplant.

With the 4th of July coming up, I thought it was the perfect time to share some sourdough recipes you could bring to any summer gathering.

From colorful loaves to summery desserts, I hope you find something you love and enjoy! 😊

​Red, White & Blue Sourdough Bread​

Naturally dyed with strawberries and butterfly pea flower.

​Sourdough Hamburger Buns​

Soft, fluffy, and perfect for burgers, BBQ pulled pork, and more.

​Sourdough Raspberry Cheesecake Bars​

Layers of butter sourdough discard crust, cheesecake, raspberries, and oat crumble.

​Lemon Sourdough Blondies​

A bright, tart cookie bar with lemon zest and white chocolate.

​Sourdough Strawberry Shortcake​

A summer favorite that's as easy as it is delicious.

To help you get the best results, here are some ingredients and tools I recommend:

  • ​Food Scale - Measuring by weight is the easiest way to get consistent results every time.
  • ​Dutch Oven - Creates steam while baking so you get a beautiful rise and crust.
  • ​Straight-Sided Containers - Easier to track bulk fermentation.
  • ​Bread Sling - Helps you safely transfer dough into a hot Dutch oven.
  • ​Lame - Gives you control and confidence when scoring your dough for an even rise.
  • ​Proofer - Allows you to control the proofing temperature to better predict bulk fermentation timing.

We were right up front and had so much fun singing and dancing along. But now that I'm 37, my feet were definitely aching by the end of the night, and getting home at 1 AM was rough. 😆 The rest of my week...

Hey Reader, Do you ever go fruit picking? 🫐 One of my favorite fall traditions is apple picking, but this week I switched things up and went blueberry picking with my sister's family instead.

Besides filling my freezer with blueberries, I also went to...

My little wildflower meadow that...
