Had to retrain myself to make sourdough in hot weather, I got spoiled by my winter timing being so flexible! But we're back 🥰 #sourdoughsunday #bakingsky #sourdoughsky

Break apart chocolate chip cookies and a tube of cinnamon rolls got married and created these beauties, yes they did have icing which, of course, my daughter made blue. But they all got eaten before I remembered to take a picture. I hope you get to eat something decadent today. 💙 #bakingsky #momsky

Sourdough you fickle petty bitch. All winter my loaves were perfect now I can't seem to get the timing right. Back in the oven at 350 for a bit to see if I can save it. If anyone has summertime schedule they'd be willing to share that would be super helpful! #sourdoughsky #bakingsky

“So, let us be alert—alert in a twofold sense: Since Auschwitz we know what man is capable of. And since Hiroshima we know what is at stake.” Starting “Margo’s Got Money Troubles” if you are looking for a new show to start this weekend I cannot recommend it enough. 💙 #booksky #whatimreading

This morning's search. Armed with two education degrees. Without that knowledge, I would think: ❌ I'm failing ❌ She hates me ❌ Meanness is her personality ❌ Fear will "teach" her Instead I know: this is a phase. It will pass. Education saves you. #momsky

Jersey Shore family time this weekend. Happy Father’s day to everyone who celebrates, Happy Juneteenth to everyone. I hope you all have something to celebrate in your world this weekend. #jerseyshore #weekend #fathersday #juneteenth #momsky

Slowly working my way through The Choice, Dr. Edith Eva Eger’s memoir of surviving the Holocaust and there's so much I want to share. But this is what hit me today. #booksky #memoir #quote #mentalhealth #PTSD #recovery

Happy Saturday! Bread dough is resting, reading on the back deck between stretch and folds. 💙 #sourdoughsaturday #morning #reading #writing #substack

This book has been on my shelf for a while. I’m sad to say that it’s only after her passing that I am getting to it. With the number of Holocaust survivors dwindling by the day it’s more important than ever to keep their stories alive. #booksky #reading

G’morning from my desk. It’s not perfect or neat but it’s filled with things that bring me joy on a sunny morning (books, journals, coffee, watching my daughter start to wake). I would love if we could share the things we choose to start our day with. Those things are powerful. #writing #momsky

A lovely rainy day in NYC. The left is a lemon Poppyseed loaf and the right is almond flour. 🥰💙 #breadsky #sourdoughsky #bakingsky

Sooooo happy with these. Left is regular, whole wheat and almond flour. Right is cinnamon toast crunch! With Catalina Crunch protein cereal. Yes, I know it has a big open pocket BUT it's fully baked and tasty. It's a pocket of goodness. #breadsky #sourdoughsky

This week’s Mess and Magic has taken a couple of sharp left turns. I kind of love that. From Kitty shaped cookies to chocolate beet (yes beets) kitty cupcakes with blue cream cheese frosting. Why? Because toddlers and groceries going bad. #momsky #bakingsky #substack

Hope you're all nourishing yourselves or helping a momma to nourish herself today. Regardless of what this day means or doesn't mean to you, enjoy. 💙 #mothersday #momsky

The one time I leave the house without a book or notebook I find myself at a cafe with a whole 30 minutes to myself. Guess I'll just enjoy this lychee mango tea and people watching.

Sobriety does not mean no more colorful drinks in fun glasses. It's the ritual. It just means they'll actually make me feel better instead of worse. #recovery #mocktail #mentalhealth

Fighting my daughter's 103 temperature today but still made some beautiful breads. Strawberry Vanilla and a mixed flour seeded sourdough. #breadsky #sourdoughsky #sourdoughsunday #momsky

Finally back to my Paul Hollywood book. These are his Truffle Ficelles. They taste luxurious #breadsky #bakingsky #paulhollywood

In my life, christianity was always used to guide our decision making. Either do good or you’re going to hell or do good because Jesus died for you. Never, “Do good because it’s good, because doing bad hurts other people and those people matter.” #writingcommunity #substack #mentalhealth

Cinnamon Sugar Currant Loaf and and a plain loaf. Happy #SourdoughSunday I'm told the currants are even better to use than raisins because they are smaller and distribute more evenly throughout. #bakingsky #breadsky

My daughter is in a phase where when you ask her the name of her stuffed animal she thinks really hard and then just slightly alters the noun. This is Hoes. Parenting is about small joys. Like asking your three year old, completely sincerely, "Are you taking your Hoes for a walk?" She said yes. 🐴

My husband called this a stegosaurus loaf. I was going for more of an Easter basket lattice situation but his is more fun. #breadsky #bakingsky #sourdoughsky #easter

Happy Ostara 🐇 We're not religious but the seasons are real and the revival is real. So we made honey cake. Claire Fraser energy. Happy bunny day however you celebrate it. 🍯 #witchsky #bakingsky #easter #kitchenwitch #momsky

Needed a midweek loaf. Spelt flour sandwich bread. #bakingsky #breadsky

A heavy morning writing. But then a good workout, shower, and riding my bike to pick my daughter up and bring her to the park in the Spring sunshine soothed me. 🥰✨ Hope you had something soothing in your day too. #writing #momsky

I did get to make a couple tasty loaves this morning though. Gifting bread is a real love language. #breadsky #sourdoughsky #bakingsky

How did this get made in the 70s? And why does every single thing in it — the oil crisis, the Middle East, LGBTQIA+ hatred — feel like today's headlines?

Can I actually do anything with wheat grass if I don't have a fancy juicer? Asking for a friend.

A spelt flour loaf and a plain loaf with green goddess seasoning. Hopefully there are no sneaky raw dough spots hiding this week. 😂💙 #breadsky #sourdoughsky
