💃🏼I’m BACK IN THE KITCHEN!!! And it feels sooooo goood!!!! 💃🏼

👩🏼‍🍳First sourdough bread bake, since my biking injury on April 12th!!! Banana nut bread oh how I’ve missed you! 👩🏼‍🍳

🎢It’s been a journey, and it seems like it’s been FOREVER, but I’m back in the kitchen with my sourdough. 🫶🏼

I am now going to continue my baking on a weekly basis. 📅 I’m SO glad to be able to be here, in this 100% again. While I could’ve done a few orders along the way, I just couldn’t justify that it wouldn’t be my “best,” as I’m a super hard critic of myself. 🧐I expect to provide you all with something that brings me pure JOY, so being healed was key.

📦I’m going to keep my orders to a manageable amount, to also ensure quality over quantity. ⚖️

📌Stay tuned for lots to come!!! Say “hi” when you’ve read this, I miss all of your beautiful faces, the chats and encouraging words so much!!

🧐So while at Food Lion, I stopped when I spotted some “Sourdough” and I looked at the ingredients.

⏳Sourdough isn’t made quickly, and certainly not in a factory. It takes me 12-24 hours to complete one loaf.

🍞 “Traditional Sourdough” ingredients should read: flour, water, salt.

🤢Companies use vinegar and/or yogurt to give it the “sour flavor” this is not what sourdough tastes like, nor how the flavor is achieved.

❌Sourdough does NOT require yeast. Period. The starter has the wild yeast that makes it rise, and needs no help, especially if it is an established starter.

‼️If you’re looking for bread that is “Sourdough” do not be fooled, this is not it. Not even close.

⚠️If you have gluten, or bread sensitivities , I encourage you to try true sourdough. You can try, traditional, flavored, sandwich bread, breakfast breads, muffins and so much more!!

** I have highlighted the ingredients if you zoom in**

I’ve been wanting to update everyone about my injury, but had to wait until I had my MRI an got the results, which I did this week.

I have a nondisplaced fracture to my elbow. It did come out of socket and thankfully went back, this causing both major ligaments in the inner and outer part to stretch and tear. I have significant trauma to my ulnar nerve as well. Due to a very small window of time after such injury to regain range of motion, that is the focus for now. I am only able to move it about 30° for now. I’m working on getting back to 100%, with therapy, and pushing myself to do more each day! If after 3 months the elbow is still unstable, surgery will be done to repair, however we are hopeful I can heal without this.

I am wanting to get back to baking!!! I have sat and done lots of planning, and thinking and look forward to some fun flavors and ideas to bring to you all very soon!!

Keep an eye out for a “condensed” menu, as I will be limited. Nothing like my motto “baking for better tomorrow’s “…. I look forward to being back in touch with everyone! I miss y’all so much!!

Pic below of me sporting the new brace…and I can’t forget to mention Colton, who helps strap it and helps me do everything since this happened. He literally grabs my purse, drink, phone and keys and says come on Mom I got it! 😂😂😂 I feel rushed…and scattered but ya’ll he’s got it & I’m just so thankful and proud of him!!!!

💜Colton’s Crusade 2024 Walk 💜

A HUGE thank you to all that helped us achieve our goal this year!! From sharing my posts, to donating, walking and being a sponsor. THANK YOU!

This was my first year helping out with the walk, and I hope to do more next year, but Sarah Camden has had years of experience and did an excellent job at making the walk enjoyable for all! Thanks for letting me play a small part in helping this year, I look forward to doing more in years to come!

Our team “Colton’s Crusade” proved to be stronger than ever this year. We have 40 teammates now!! Thank you! Thank you for always supporting Colton, and for always being there when he needs. 🫶🏼

I want to thank Brianna Palumbo owner and photographer at Blessed & Becoming Photography for donating her time to capture our walk. This day means so much to us as a CF Community and to have the memories captured is priceless. Thank you!

I also want to thank our very own, Aunt Rita Buckler with Rita B’s Catering for donating her prized Fried Chicken! After the 5k the plates were filled with her chicken, and I’ll speak for Colton that it was soooooo good!!!! Thank you for taking the time to help when I know your schedule is already overflowing.

Thank you Barbara Livingston and Chuckie for letting us use the coolers, Aunt Linda Gail Sanner Muller for your donation of water, and always sharing, and supporting our family as a whole. A big thank you to Kay Carter “Mom Mom” for her donation of cases of water, cases of soda and juice for the kids! It takes a village, and I’m so grateful you’re part of mine.

As always, thank you Carol Saunders Stanley , Mom for running me around with my arm and having to do all the things. Thank you for your unwavering support and for being there to help every step of the way. A huge thank you to my Dad who isn’t on fb, for driving up from the OBX, to support and walk with Colton. Two years in a row at “72” he’s finished top 3!!! I think Colton’s most favorite part of the walk,is his Grandpa Dad coming to visit. What a perfect memory for him, and something that means so very much to us.

While the walk was a great success, we never loose sight that we are still without meds for all CFer’s and we are still without a cure. The fight continues even after the “fun” is over. Colton is one that cannot take Trikafta the newest medication that has become a life changer for so many. We continue to do our morning and night vest treatments, and medications to stay well, and we are thankful for this, but don’t mistake that we need a cure. I am so hopeful because of the CF Foundation and their perseverance, their dedication to us specifically and all with Cystic Fibrosis.

Next up: “Colton’s Crusade” veggie stand out front! 🍑🥒🥬🫑🫐🍅🌶️He’s super excited and has worked hard to plant his biggest garden yet! We won’t stop until CF stands for Cure Found. 💜

Day 12: I went to my one week orthopedic appt yesterday. I felt I was doing good as far as what they wanted, get moving it, keep elevated, use fingers and wrist. I’m not sure the PA felt the same. 🥴When it comes to touching it, I’ll be honest, I don’t like it. It makes me sweat and feel queasy, not to mention it hurts on the inside of my elbow when even lightly touching…so her grasp sends me into a little panic. 😰Nonetheless the appointment went well, appears to be ligaments damaged, so in the sling, and wearing a wrap to keep swelling controlled.

💪🏼I start OT next week, so slowly but surely things are moving. I’m getting pretty good at the left handed stuff, showering, dressing, eating, trying to now begin finding things to do to use this “off time” to my advantage. Garden is underway!! (Colton’s Crusade: “To plant a garden is to have hope for tomorrow’s “) 🧑🏼‍🌾

👩🏼‍🍳I won’t be baking this week, but I am ordering stuff, and planning to redo my kitchen over the next 6 weeks Freckles & Flour LLC will be even more amazing when I’m all healed up!! 🥖🍞🥧

Here is todays picture of my artwork 🥴

👋🏻 Hi friends!!!👋🏻

Sorry, I’ve been missing a little this week! We finally made it home from our birthday getaway last week, had a spectacular birthday 🥳 and we made lots of wonderful memories!! Some of which I posted pictures, swimming in the pool 🏊‍♂️ and the golf of Mexico, miniature golf , ⛳️ the aquarium in Tampa 🪼, Busch Gardens, and adventure 🏝️ island, Pier 60, bicycle rides 🚴🏻‍♂️, and ice cream 🍦 dates every night!!! 🥰

I’m happy to say that we are home, and although the last day was troublesome, it was a great birthday and family time that was much needed. 💜

If you look closely in the picture, you will see two things first most importantly Colton is wearing his cystic fibrosis warrior T-shirt💜, And he is looking forward to his walk at the Leonardtown wharf in a couple of weeks! You may also notice if you’re looking closely that I am sporting a sling on my right arm, due to a bicycle accident resulting in a nondisplaced elbow fracture. 😫 I would not let anything stop me from getting this picture of Colton wearing his shirt, showing what true strength looks like. 🙌🏼My struggle is 6-8weeks, his is a lifetime. I was in the height of my pain in the ER. I literally said “my son fights every day to be well and to just breathe, this is nothing, this is temporary I can do anything because of him.” That has been my motivation, and will continue to be until my last breath. ♾️

I’ve made the decision that I will not be able to fulfill the orders for any of the Sourdough boules. I am unable to work the dough and lift the Dutch ovens. and I know that it would not be my best. 🥲

I WILL continue with all orders of the flavored breads, such as the banana nut, applesauce spice, Lavender lemon, And I will be adding a blueberry lemon. these breads go towards Colton‘s 65 roses., cystic fibrosis Walk may 11th. He will make the donation himself. If you would like to place an order, you still have time to do so today until tomorrow.

🌹Order here : https://bakesy.shop/b/freckles-flour-llc

☀️For anyone who has placed an order for the Sourdough boules, I will place your order on hold and they will be the first made when my arm has healed enough to do so. If you prefer a refund I am happy to do that as well. Please send a message. Thank you so much for all of the support, 🥳WE WERE COMPLETELY SOLD OUT for Colton’s birthday!!! 🥳
