Happy National toast day everyone!!😍🧈🍞

Seeing as how it is National toast day I thought it only appropriate to cook up some delicious French toast 😍. This delicious breakfast was only made better with avocado oil butter. The texture was smooth, creamy and the flavor was absolutely delicious! Honestly… why can’t it be national toast day everyday?!?! As always remember…

I made these the other night for dinner and they were… AWESOME!! 🙌🙌🔥🔥

Of course there is only one problem… I did not write down the recipe 🤦🏻‍♂️. It’s cool though.. definitely making them again and this time I will not forget to record things. These are perfect over a bed of Cajun rice, noodles or slap them between some slices of sourdough for a killer sandwich🙌🙌.

Recipe coming sometime. Just remember…

Here’s a look at the past couple of weeks meals. Stand outs for me of course include our turkey from Thanksgiving which was juicy, tender and delicious. Roasted upside down for the first couple hours of the cook and flipped over for the final hour.

Taco salads are always a good decision. Our creamy Cajun chicken pasta seasoned with Cajun spices, squash which I turned into delicious soup.

French fries made in our new air fryer I am loving this air fryer! So far we have made fries and chicken tenders, but I have many more plans for that amazing machine. Then there is bread! All the loaves pictured clearly illustrate my decorative scoring struggles. It’s a learning process and I feel like they are getting better and better. Of course the humidity is leaving and the temps are dropping, which means I will have to address my hydration levels, but I am excited to figure it out. I think that about covers it… oh yeah!!

Baked Faroe island salmon on a bed of creamy Cajun spaghetti squash with a fresh green salad. I definitely find myself craving this meal often. The salmon blended perfectly with the spicy, creamy texture of the spaghetti squash and the crunch of the salad was a nice addition. I need to make this again!

Sourdough update no. 236

You guys! I am starting to get a handle on this scoring thing!! It’s kind of crazy to think that I have been baking sourdough for a little over 2 years now and my bakes have evolved a crazy amount in that time. Baking sourdough is a test in a lot of ways but most of all it is a test in patience. You really have to be patient and believe with every little tweak you’ll be closer to that ideal bake. I won’t say perfect, because what’s perfect? Nothing really.

My loaves have come a long way but they are for sure not perfect and I know there are many more improvements I can make. That being said I am very happy where I am at right now and so are my friends and family❤️. Sourdough is medicine and every time I take a bite I know I am doing wonders for my gut health. Tomorrow is another bake day and I can’t wait to see what Milton and I will create 🙌. Each loaf is carved with my excellent bread knife from link in my bio.

Guys… HELP! I can’t stop roasting squash!! I’m obsessed and the smaller gourds you see pictured, the ones that look like mini butternut squash. Those are honey nut squash and they are amazing! They are so sweet and tasty, you can just eat them directly out of the gourd without needing to add anything 🙌. Delicious!

Lately I’ve made sourdough pumpkin swirl, protein cookies and soup with my squash. I have enough this time around for 2 recipes. One will for sure be protein cookies, but what should I do for the last recipe? Any ideas?? Let me know in the comments.

All of the beautiful gourds you see pictured here came from also known as “the greatest place on earth 🌎 “. Huge shout out to Marc and Louise for the amazing harvests this year🙏❤️. And remember guys…

Sourdough update 👍

Pictured above 4 loaves. 2 baked with an ice cube added to the pot just before covering and baking, and 2 WITHOUT an ice cube added to the pan before baking. Can you tell which are which? I think I’m definitely a fan of the ice cube added loaves 👍. The loaves themselves were fluffier, with great bursts and awesome rise. It almost looks like I brushed them with an egg wash. The crust is so delicious😍.

BROWN BUTTER!!!! I might be a bit over the top excited here, but seriously I am loving these flavor combinations lately.

Pictures here we have fresh sage and asparagus sauteed in a brown butter sauce with garlic, onion, fermented garlic, pepper and red crushed chilis. All mixed together with the most flavorful little pumpkin gnocchis, so many fun fall flavors coming together to create a truly unique experience. This dish is savory, sweet, nutty with the perfect hint of heat 🔥. What’s perfect for sopping up a little extra brown butter sauce?? Fresh sliced sourdough 😍.

Have you ever made a brown butter sauce? If so what did you pair it with? Follow for more simple and tasty home cooked meals like this one 👍👍

Meet my newest creation… the pumpkin swirl sourdough loaf😍🎃😍

I wasn’t exactly sure how this was going to go down as I’ve only ever made your standard sourdough loaves. But this was definitely a success🙌🙌. Next time I probably would not uses walnuts in my filling as I feel like they made it to easy to tear the dough. But even with that complication I was happy with how this baked up and the flavor!!! Oh man the flavor you guys!! Also… the smell!!! The smell in our house while this was baking was amazing😍😍. Is there a candle for that??? If not there absolutely should be!

Follow for more sourdough adventures like this one!! Can’t promise they will all be successful but they will be fun 👍👍. This loaf was made with the pumpkin puree from and carved with my bread knife from

I’ve been on a real brown butter kick lately😍🧈🍁

Seriously the way the butter gets this almost nutty aroma flavored with a bit of garlic, shallot and some sage… you can’t go wrong!! The perfect flavor for these squash flavored ravioli stuffed with ricotta 😍. The other day we tried the same flavor with pumpkins gnocchi and it was even tastier! Oh right… and what’s the best way to sop up delicious brown butter?? BREAD!! This loaf proved to be expertly crafted towards cleaning up excess brown butter 👍👍. Try this flavor over your favorite fall time pastas… you’ll love it! And remember…
