We have officially entered the BRRR months 🥶🍂😂

And one thing I KNOW everybody is excited for… SOUP SEASON!🥣❤️

But in our house, soup season means one thing: GRILLED CHEESE SEASON. 🧀🍞

This is an Everything Bagel loaf and a Classic loaf, sliced up and ready to become the perfect crispy, cheesy grilled cheese. 🤤

If you haven’t placed your order yet, now’s the time! 🍞

Orders are open for Tuesday pickup next week!

Because soup without grilled cheese is just… sad soup. 😂

🥖 OKAY, I NEED TO KNOW… WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE?! 👀

If you’ve bought something from my stand this year, tell me your absolute favourite product in the comments! 👇

Because our LAST outdoor farmers market of the season is coming up and I’m trying to decide what deserves a VIP spot on the table. 😂

Is it the classic sourdough? A loaded flavour loaf? Cinnamon rolls? Carrot cake cookies? Danishes? Pretzels? Focaccia? Cookies? One of the ridiculous things I put cream cheese into? 😂

TELL. ME. WHAT YOU WANT.
I’m listening. 👂🤣

And while I have you here, let’s talk about something I get asked about ALL the time…

“Why does your sourdough look so much bigger than mine?” 👀🍞🤔😉🤣

No, I’m not secretly pumping my bread full of steroids. 😂

One of the biggest differences is that I bake using an artisan bread deck oven with proper steam

Dutch ovens, loaf pans and even baking directly on a steel at home can absolutely make gorgeous sourdough. ❤️ But getting enough steam into a home oven can be tricky and steam is a BIG deal during those first few minutes of baking.

That beautiful burst of steam keeps the crust flexible while the dough expands, allowing a properly fermented loaf to really POP OFF in the oven.

And when you combine good fermentation + proper steam + a whole lot of love (and probably an unreasonable amount of flour 😂), you get those big, tall, fluffy artisan loaves.

In fact, compared with a restricted loaf pan, a properly fermented loaf baked with adequate steam can expand to around twice the size of the original dough shape.

Which basically means…

MORE BREAD. 🍞
MORE SANDWICHES. 🥪
MORE BUTTER OPPORTUNITIES. 🧈
MORE BANG FOR YOUR BREAD BUCK. 😂

And honestly, I LOVE that I get to make the kind of sourdough that some people have never actually had the chance to try before.

So if you’re sitting there on this fine Saturday thinking, “Damn it, now I want fresh bread…” 😂

I’ve got you.

You can place a pre-order through my website for this week’s bakes, or just send me a message right here on the page!

Lately, I’ve been a little quiet around here… and honestly, life has just been LIFE. ❤️

We’ve been soaking up some much needed family time with a vacation to BC, saying goodbye to our sweet pup of 15 years as he crossed the rainbow bridge 🌈🐾, and trying to squeeze in as many beach days as humanly possible before summer slips away. 🥹☀️🏖️

But last night, something VERY exciting happened… 👀🍓🫐

My dad drove up from the coast with OVER 60 LBS of fresh BC berries picked literally yesterday morning and brought straight to us! 😍

And you KNOW I can’t look at 60+ pounds of fresh berries without immediately getting ideas. 😂🤭

I’ve already got some seriously delicious things cooking up in my head for sweet sourdough breads this weekend at the market… and let me just say, you are NOT going to want to miss these. 👀🍓🫐🍞✨

After a busy and emotional few weeks, I’m really excited to get back into the kitchen, get my hands in some dough, and create some fun new things for you all. ❤️

Thank you for sticking around even when I’ve been a little quieter lately. 🥹🫶🏼

See you at the market this weekend! And if you love fresh BC berries as much as I do… you might want to come early. 😉🍓

One of the perks of being surrounded by so many talented local makers is getting to try each other's creations! 💛

After Cara messaged me for a loaf of sourdough, I asked if I could grab a sample of her protein bites too. This morning, while slicing into an Everything Bagel loaf for myself and getting everything prepped and ready for this weekend's market, I finally got to try them.

They did not disappoint! They were the perfect little pick-me-up while tackling another busy bakery morning.

If you haven't already, go check out Noon Bakery and show Cara some love. Supporting local businesses is one of my favorite things about our community, and I'm so thankful we get to cheer each other on. 🥖✨🤍

There is something so special about living in a small town.

Yesterday reminded me just how blessed we are to be part of a community that pours so much heart into creating memories for families. ❤️

My oldest got to enter his very first Power Wheels derby, complete with balloons and a little Mario Kart-inspired setup. It was honestly one of the cutest things I've ever witnessed. We got absolutely soaked to the bone in the rain, but seeing the smiles on my boys' faces made every second worth it. Those are the kinds of memories that last a lifetime.

Moments like these remind me that gratitude isn't found in perfect weather or perfect days it's found in the people that are placed around us and the joy we choose to see through it all.

"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever." Psalm 107:1

Now it's time for me to head to church with a grateful heart and thank God for another beautiful week, this incredible community, and the blessings He's continuing to provide.

💛 If you've been thinking about grabbing a fresh artisan sourdough loaf, today is the perfect day to place your order for Tuesday's bake! Otherwise, I'll see you next Saturday at the farmers' market with fresh bread and plenty of goodies.
