The Sourdough Slice Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning. Hey Reader, Do you bake bread to sell, or mostly just for fun and for your family to enjoy? I mostly bake for the blog, but lately I've been getting more requests from friends and neighbors to bake loaves for them. While I don't think I'd ever want it to become a full-time thing, it's been a lot of fun. I love seeing their faces light up when I hand them a fresh loaf. This week, one of my neighbors...

The Sourdough Slice Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning. Hey Reader, It's a rainy and gray day here in Massachusetts today. But honestly, I'm grateful for it. I've been pretty busy this week between the garden, blog, and other fun summer activities, so having an excuse to relax on the couch today has been nice. Between all the cucumbers from my garden and my neighbor's, I ended up making 14 quart-sized jars of dill pickles and 3 quart-sized jars of bread...

The Sourdough Slice Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning. Hey Reader, It's another hot and humid day here in Massachusetts, but I'm still trying to spend as much time outside as I can, soaking up what's left of summer. Inside, though, my kitchen is officially shifting into fall mode. Being a recipe blogger means I have to think a little ahead of the seasons so I can have recipes ready for you when the time comes. This week, I started testing two sourdough...

The Sourdough Slice Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning. Hey Reader, Can you believe it's already August? This summer is truly flying by! I swear the older I get, the faster each year seems to go. At this point in the season, my garden is in full production mode. I have more cherry tomatoes than I can eat, lots of zucchini, and enough cucumbers to make a few jars of pickles (with hopefully more to come). I also planted tons of flowers this year to...

The Sourdough Slice Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning. Hey Reader, Do you like swimming? Living on the coast of Massachusetts, I grew up swimming in the ocean, so it's one of my favorite things to do every summer. I finally got to spend a day at the beach with a friend this past weekend. The water was definitely chilly, but it was so much fun! I also babysat my four-month-old niece for the first time. Baby snuggles really are the best. We napped, ate,...

The Sourdough Slice Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning. Hey Reader, Do you like going to see live music? If so, what's the last concert you went to? 🎶 Last Friday, my friends and I went to see Noah Kahan at Fenway Park in Boston, and it was amazing! 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...

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...

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.

My little wildflower meadow that...
