  • Sourdough discard chocolate chip cookies

    I love sourdough bread. I actually just baked my first loaf from scratch after feeding my starter for over a year. Up until then, Pinterest saved me from wasting all my starter and still satisfying my craving for sourdough. I found so many recipes that use only the discard, which is the unfed portion of…

  • Simplify your life

    I am a minimalist by nature. I hate clutter. It makes me feel overwhelmed and it’s hard for me to focus with a lot of extra stuff around. I love getting rid of things – to a fault. I have often thrown away things that I still end up needing just to clear space. But…
