R&D day at Sweet Cravings!
I’m in the kitchen experimenting with something new today! Taking a little inspiration from an old favorite and giving it a new twist.
Can you guess what’s going into this one? I’ll give you a hint: brown butter is involved, and there are two kinds of chips in the mix.
Drop your guesses in the comments! Let’s see who figures it out first.

Gluten-free sourdough… would you be interested?
There’s a new starter in the Sweet Cravings kitchen! She doesn’t have a name yet, but she’s my first gluten-free sourdough starter, and we’re just getting acquainted.
I’m exploring the possibility of adding gluten-free sourdough to the Sweet Cravings menu, but before I invest in developing recipes and sourcing ingredients, I want to see if there’s enough interest.
A couple of things to know:
Gluten-free baking requires different ingredients and a little extra experimentation, so these products would be at a higher price point than my traditional sourdough.
Since my kitchen also handles regular wheat flour, these products would not be suitable for anyone who needs to avoid cross-contact with gluten, including those with celiac disease.
So, let me ask you…
Would you be interested in purchasing gluten-free sourdough bread if I added it to the menu?
I’d love to hear from you in the comments! Even if you’re just curious, let me know. I’m trying to decide whether this little experiment deserves a permanent spot in the Sweet Cravings kitchen!

Some recipes are about more than the ingredients. They carry a little piece of the people who taught us to love the details.
These carrot cakes make me think of my grandmother, Beverly, who passed away when I was just 7 years old.
Grandma had a degree in Home Economics from Virginia Tech, graduating in 1938, and when she threw a dinner party, she threw a dinner party. She had a corner cupboard full of beautiful, fancy dishes that I loved looking through. Setting the table was an adventure, and every little detail mattered.
Looking back, I can see how much of that stayed with me. Maybe that’s why I have cupboards full of china of my own, and why I love finding just the right plate and making my desserts look just so. To me, it’s about more than making something taste good. It’s about the presentation, the little details, and making something feel special.
I wish I could remember more of the time I had with her, but I’m thankful for the little things that have stayed with me, even all these years later. In some ways, I think a little of Bev finds its way into my kitchen every time I bake.
Today, it’s carrot cake with cream cheese icing. A little old-fashioned goodness, made with love.

Nobody complained that they weren’t sourdough but me!

Sometimes even sourdough bakers don’t plan ahead, and we have to bring out the commercial yeast!
Tonight’s supper is homemade soup bread bowls, and sometimes you just have to make it work. Even those of us who keep a sourdough starter on the counter don’t always have time to wait on it. 😂
