I am one of the many that dove into the world of sourdough this year. One of the questions you start with is "How do I understand and handle starter?" And part of that management is the discarded starter. If you want to research, you'll find plenty of recipes, blogs, and videos with creative ways to use old starter instead of just dumping it, … Read More »

Chokecherry Syrup
Today's recipe is indulgent. I usually post recipes that are practical (we can't get exotic ingredients in Wyoming) or out-of-this-world delicious if they are fussy, but today's recipe doesn't fit either of those categories. It is more of a trip down memory lane; an ode to my grandmother. She showed her love through food. Whenever we would walk … Read More »

Avocado Egg Bake
I was looking for another way to cook eggs for breakfast, and I saw many variations of this avocado-egg bake. I thought I would give it a try. I am a runner, and protein is one of the best things to get into my body at the beginning of the day. I like my eggs barely firm; on the verge of a dripping yolk but still solid. I left the egg baking … Read More »
Stuffed French Toast

Quinoa Cereal
I admit that I have a sweet tooth. I love sugar! I stay fit, but what most of you may not know is that I am also a borderline diabetic. I haven't cut sugar out of my diet completely, but unless it's a special case, I don't think extremes are good anyway. As my distance running has taught me, the race goes to the person who has endless … Read More »
Homemade English Muffins
I have been working out the kinks in this recipe for over a month now. I didn't have to adjust the ingredients very much (I cut a T. of honey out), but the trouble seemed to be the thickness of the dough and the temperature when the muffins were being cooked. It still takes a watchful eye. I have to roll my dough pretty thin to make sure they … Read More »
Breakfast Melt Sandwiches

Pumpkin Waffles with Buttermilk Syrup
At a family gathering awhile back, my older sister and brother cooked everyone pumpkin pancakes. They took them over the top by serving them with buttermilk syrup. Have you ever had buttermilk syrup? If not, you have to try it. It is So. Dang. Good. My own family prefers waffles over pancakes, so I adjusted the recipe. I hope you enjoy … Read More »
