Tips on Making Sourdough Bread In 2020 at the beginning of lock down it seemed everyone was jumping on the sourdough bandwagon.  Myself included.  I sent away for a powdered starter, rehydrated, took a zoom class, made exactly ONE loaf of bread, it didn’t turn out so I gave up.  Here are my tips on making sourdough bread at home. If this sounds similar to...

Sourdough Matcha Cinnamon Rolls I can’t believe these sourdough matcha cinnamon rolls came out of my kitchen!  Once you get your sourdough starter going, the sky is the limit on what you can make.  In 2020 when the world was diving into sourdough breads, I made exactly one loaf, it didn’t turn out and I didn’t try again until this year.  Matcha is a Japanese...

Delicata Squash Cheddar Jalapeno Scones This is a bold statement, but these delicata squash cheddar jalapeno scones are the best scones I’ve ever made.  Hannah said “Mom, this is the best recipe you’ve made in months!”  Ha!  High praise. 🥰. These will be a great substitute for biscuits at your next Thanksgiving or holiday table.  Each scone is 6 Weight Watchers (6 WW) points.   Here...

Pumpkin Biscuits I saw these pumpkin biscuits on Bless This Mess and immediately put it on my list of things to make asap.  Her original recipe called for six tablespoons of butter, so I reduced the amount to two tablespoons and brought the Weight Watchers points down to 7 points each.  These make the best breakfast sandwiches! Why don’t my biscuits rise as much as...

What is skinny pizza dough? In November 2017 the WW plan changed to...

Much...

Next up on my sourdough adventure is this sourdough focaccia bread. Truth be told, until I met my Italian (well, he was half Italian half French Canadian, but never accepted the french part!), I had never heard of focaccia bread. My first attempt to make it was in 2010 – you can check out that post here.  Please ignore the awful food photography in that...

My skinny pizza dough turns into English muffins! So good and only 3 points.
