The Sourdough Slice Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning. 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. It was so much fun (and delicious)! I ended up bringing home four pounds of blueberries, which are now tucked away in my freezer for future recipes. Besides filling my freezer with blueberries, I also went to...

The Sourdough Slice Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning. Hey Reader, Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸 I hope you're having a fun and relaxing long weekend with friends and family. Here in Massachusetts, we're in the middle of a heatwave. It hit 100°F today. As I type this, it's still 80°F in my bedroom 🥵 Before the heat settled in, I managed to harvest all of my shallots and even picked my first cucumbers and zucchini of the season. My little wildflower meadow that...

The Sourdough Slice Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning. 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...

The Sourdough Slice Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning. Hey Reader, What's your favorite thing to grow? 🌱 I absolutely love growing garlic. I plant enough to store away for most of the year and still have plenty of cloves left to replant for the next season. It's quite rewarding and easy to grow because most of the pests don't touch it. This year, I also planted shallots. They're almost ready to harvest, which I'm very excited about. Beyond gardening, I...

The Sourdough Slice Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning. Hey Reader, Have you ever rented a piece of heavy equipment and completely torn up your entire yard? Because that's exactly what I did last weekend 😅 Since my breakup last year, my friends have been helping me make my yard more manageable. I have about an acre of land, plenty of weeds, and a few drainage issues, so anything that makes maintenance easier is a huge win. Last weekend, we dug a trench...

The Sourdough Slice Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning. Hey Reader, Happy June! ☀️ It's 90°F here today, and I'm writing this from under the umbrella on my back deck. It's a bit hot, but I love being able to sit outside whenever I can. The peonies are blooming this week so, I picked a few to add to my cute vintage white vase I found at the thrift store. I'm also gearing up to do a whole lot of yard work tomorrow (see me and my new sump pump tubing...

The Sourdough Slice Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning. Hey Reader, Can you believe it's already the end of May? It feels like just a few weeks ago I was trudging through the snow to shovel my chickens out. 😆 And now suddenly I’m outside planting flowers, picking garlic scapes, and soaking up as much sunshine as possible. I also had my neighbors and friends over last weekend for a Memorial Day cookout. One of my favorite things about where I live is how...

The Sourdough Slice Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning. Hey Reader, Are you gardening at all this year? I spent Tuesday getting my garden beds planted for the season, and I’m so excited to see how everything does this year.

Now comes the fun part… waiting for everything to grow. ☀️🌱 Last weekend was a...

The Sourdough Slice Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning. Hey Reader, Have you ever experimented with natural food coloring in sourdough bread? 🌈🍞 This week, I’ve been having way too much fun playing around with naturally dyeing sourdough using things like beet root powder (red), butterfly pea flower (blue), and freeze-dried strawberry powder (pink). I also still have ube, charcoal, and turmeric sitting in my kitchen waiting for their turn. My original...
