If you're looking to get started with milling your flour, here are my favorite things to have, along with other favorite things of mine to use when baking bread! Don't be too intimidated - 2 years ago, I was barely able to make Kraft mac and cheese from the box. I literally just started milling my own flour a few months ago, and it's not nearly as intimidating as it may seem! I highly recommend just starting, having zero expectations, and consulting with ChatGPT if you have questions during the freshly-milled baking process as that is EXACTLY how I learned to bake and perfect my freshly-milled sandwich loaf!
This takes some time to make, so if you want to give it as a holiday gift, plan ahead! Make sure to read my blog post (linked under How To) for the full details!

We are getting back to work but, we are not wasting our time or money on take out temptations and single use plastics. Getting ahead of the week by meal prepping helps to dial back the morning chaos meter. How I make it even easier? I meal prep while making dinner on Sunday.

Think of it as everything but the lunch box.
A few weeks back I saw a post *somewhere * that was a picture of sourdough toast slathered with several types of pesto and garlic butter. It was a work of art..the different shades of green from the different pestos, like an edible paint swatch, the background a bustling European farmers market..that picture has lived rent free in my brain since then (and do you think I can find it again?!?!?! NO !!! ugh!) So with that beautiful toast having preoccupied my brain for weeks, it time to gather up some of my favorite toast recipes to share. Obviously the basics are simple: 1) toast bread 2) top with delicious foods. But this list might show you some new toast combos that you haven't even considered. I've broken it down to Savory Toast, Sweet Toast, French Toast, and a list of ingredients and supplies. And if any of you saw that pesto toast picture I'm talking about, please 🙏 let me know!!
