New week-new ideas.
Here’s how the latest bread chronicles began this time.
Sourdough discard Lime Drizzle Loaf is a 10/10 experience. Easy to make and difficult to only eat one slice 😁 A perfect fix for lime lovers.
Built a Chocolate Sourdough Starter. Wasn’t sure if it would grow the same as my other ones but it did not disappoint.
Putting it to use in dessert and treat baking later this wk 😋
Tried out a Sourdough loaf that breaks all the rules. I was skeptical about this one. Then I remembered that humans all over the world make bread products using tons of different methods with far fewer accessories and less “do or fail” guidelines, instead relying more on applied practice, feel and developed skill. Reality check ☑️
End result: a slightly over baked exterior with a soft, chewy and flavourful center. Tighter crumb but not dense. I’d make it again and simply adjust bake times for my own oven. Will be great for sandwiches 🥪 Worth trying.

Long post-for those who enjoy reading 😉
Fence sat on this for a looonnggg time.
January often brings forward concepts of new beginnings. It can be motivational and inspiring for some and completely out of alignment for others. We are all beautifully different 🩷
I’m not really a personal subscriber to the idea of “transformations” BUT I am a firm believer of life “transitions”.
The idea that we are constantly evolving and we have little idea where it will take us, is very real.
So, I share my past 10ish year timeline.
It began with a very unforeseen difficult time in my life personally.
From there, the shift began.
Leaned into my tendency towards self-directed reading, research, applying concepts and freely experimenting.
Learned about metabolism, energy needs/expenditures, individual variances, macro/micro nutrients, fact vs fiction nutritional notions and began employing physical training principals-for fun 🤣
Kicked up my home cooking game (I’ve always loved food of all kinds and preparing delicious meals) and just kept on going.
I did not assign myself a diet. I had zero thought to a specific weight loss goal. I just kept learning and applying.
Slowly. Consistently. Kindly.
My body mass and composition did change over time, as a BYPRODUCT of my desire to learn, actively challenge myself in ways that brought me enjoyment and, in my case, little to no expectation.
Movement is my jam. Nutrition is multi-layered and can be both fairly basic and also more complex, depending on a myriad of factors.
Our mindset is key. Rest and gratitude are imperative.
Our health and physical fitness will fluctuate over our lifetimes-that is a guarantee. When in doubt, always add grace.
Our life is, hopefully 🤞, a long game.
Changes take time.
Sometimes, like 10 years?!! lol 🤷‍♀️
So what began as a tricky time in my life turned out to be a just another opportunity for transition.
This morning, I’m getting ready to head off to teach. I’m extremely grateful for this time in my life 😌
When I joke around in my movement classes about how we are gonna be trying something new and “fun”, you have to know that I really do see it that way 😁
It’s never too late to build something new.

The bread chronicles are back 🤗
Today’s special is a Sourdough Spelt loaf.
Different flours, used a whole wheat starter, no bulk ferment-only cold proof and a slightly different baking technique.
Boosted nutritional profile, increased digestibility and deep flavour.
There’s already another new loaf proofing for a bake tomorrow.
Care to guess what it may be? 👀 🤔
