We’ve had a special week with a dear friend from Scotland visiting us. He is the godfather of our oldest boy and it has been so sweet to see them get to spend so much time together. What a gift to have godly adults in our lives who are kind and interested in our children!
We had *just* started to get out all of the fall clothes when this hot weather hit. The kids are loving it, though, and soaking up the last of summer. We’ll likely make one last big batch of tomato soup and sauce before pulling those plants out of the garden. And we still have potatoes and sweet potatoes to harvest. But if anyone would like tomatoes, please let me know!
This week I’m baking morning glory muffins. These muffins are filled with all sorts of goodness: dried cherries, pepitas, whole wheat flour, apple, coconut, walnuts, and a few other delights as well (like sourdough starter!). Sure, they have some sugar (but no dairy!), but it’s not the first flavor you’ll taste nor will they give you the high and low of a breakfast cupcake. These have everything you need to get your day off to a great start! Each order contains four muffins.
My house sourdough is available both sliced and unsliced. It freezes well both ways and should keep for several days at least without getting stale. If you’re thawing from frozen, or even if it feels a bit dried out, run your loaf under running water for 5-10 seconds, then place the loaf in a warm oven around 300 degrees for 15 min (if dried out) or 30 min (if frozen). Voila! Fresh bread!
