In this episode of the Making It a Home podcast, I’m eliminating the hassle around sourdough to share how easy it can be! If you think sourdough is too hard, complicated, stressful, or time consuming, this episode is FOR YOU!

I’m debunking the time constraints and difficulties around sourdough baking. I’ve been baking our own bread items with sourdough for over 2 years now. We no longer buy baked goods or anything bread related at the grocery store and it doesn’t take me hours a week. It’s honestly less than 30 minutes of hands on time to make it all.

Tune in for helpful tips, a simple explanation on how you can do sourdough baking in less than 15 minutes per week, and tips to help you along the way.

In this episode of the Making It a Home podcast, I’m sharing my journey of ditching plant based milk in 2024 and switching back to dairy. The biggest reason? I realized plant based milks are a processed food!
