I hated brussel sprouts when I was a kid. I remember them being mushy and awful. My daughter brought some home from the store a while ago and we roasted them and now I love them. These were especially delicious with the addition of the balsamic. More quarantine cooking, when will it end? (The quarantine, … Continue reading

And there it is! The first loaf of sourdough bread from my homegrown sourdough starter. It tasted just as good as it looks.
