These days, I’ve got a thriving sourdough starter that I use on a daily basis to make sourdough bread for my family - my husband, Warren and 3 boys, Haze, Texen and Vann. Feeding people is my love language - if you come to my house, you’re going to get fed … and more than likely go home with something from my kitchen!

Sourdough is my “thing” - I am absolutely obsessed with it and love sharing it with my family and friends. I’ve been baking bread for as long as I can remember. The first bread I ever made was Focaccia Bread and it’s still something I make regularly for my family!

If I had to choose just one flavor of sourdough to eat for the rest of my life? I’d choose this one! My signature bread Maple and Coffee Infused Date Sourdough Bread. It’s absolutely, hands down delightful!
