I was out of options, praying to God to please make a way where there was no way. Being a homeschooling single parent trying to make an income, avoid chemically infused food, & trying to live a healthier, non-toxic life has turned out to be my hardest challenge yet. Still, I have faith that because I follow Jesus & allow the Holy Spirit to guide me, Yahweh will bring me through ANY door He brought me to. All for His glory!
Making food has always been my passion. Through my highs & lows, I always find myself in the kitchen trying something new. For me, there is joy in sharing food. Nothing compares to every bite stimulating all your taste buds while making a memory. Every invitation to taste and share food brings families and friends together. That part does it for me. Getting to be a part of that by creating what the favor of God has bestowed upon me, delicious, nourishing food!
While I know my cooking flavor comes from being highly favored, baking has become my forte since coming into the sourdough side of the internet. It started with wanting bread that doesnt have a million ingredients, but it has become so much more. It's clean bread, clean snacks, clean nourishing food for the temple of God. Feeding the body of Christ with REAL food.
I prayed relentlessly for God to provide, while being grateful and stewarding 'what He had already entrusted me with. I used my daily provision, made bread for my family, and then some more. I posted it, packaged it, and sold it! I did that a few more times until I was able to buy in bulk, and here i am, still glorifying God for multiplying what He gave me. I will confess that it is not in my strength that I make it day by day, but it is in His strength. I don't do this for self-service, I do it for His glory.
Nothing brings me more joy than to share my gift with you. With every bite, a bit of His loave. He is the bread of life and those who eat will never go hungry. One loaf at a time, always measured with loave.

We named our starter (even if its silly) after one of my favorite, small but powerful, stories in the bible. I knew it was the one because I have a calling to be a modern day Dorcas. People have an experience with Jesus when they have an experience with me.

In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (in Greek her name is Dorcas); she was always doing good and helping the poor. About that time she became sick and dies, and her body was washed and placed in an upstairs room. Lydda was near Joppa; so when the disciples heard that Peter was in Lydda, they sent two men to him and urged him, "Please come at once!"
Peter went with them, and when he arrived he was taken upstairs to the room. All the widows stood around him, crying and showing him the robes and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them.
Peter sent then all out of the room; then he got down on his knees and prayed. Turning toward the dead woman, he said, "Tabitha, get up!" She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up. He took her by the hand and helped her to her feet. Then he called for the believers, especially the widows, and presented her to them alive. This became known all over Joppa, and many people believed in the Lord.
