Here’s my “basic” recipe for two loaves:

720 grams water
170 grams sourdough starter
20 grams salt
1000 grams unbleached white flour

Mix everything together.

Cover and stretch + fold every 30 minutes (4 rounds).
I usually do this before bed and let the dough proof overnight.

In the morning, refrigerate for 6 hours.

Heat your Dutch oven (lid on) for one hour at 450°F.
Divide the dough and shape.
Bake for 30 minutes with the lid on.
Remove the lid and bake for another 15 minutes.

Let cool completely before slicing.  Torture, but absolutely worth it. Side note: my Mom left her bread knife at church 😂

Who’s adding this to their weekend bake list?

The secret to making granola clusters 👀. 

I brought snacks for my strength trainer @benspowerandfitness and @ekjones14 training partner today.  This is the second time I’ve made this granola and this will definitely be a staple recipe.

I have @minimalistbaker to thank for this incredible recipe! I only slightly adapted her original “Super Chunky Coconut Granola” recipe to create what we have here: the most perfect granola clusters I’ve ever had! 😍

The Perfect Granola:

3 cups oats
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup almonds, chopped
1 cup pecans, chopped
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons coconut oil
2/3 cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup Craisins (I left the Craisins out of this version)

1. Preheat your oven to 325F.
2. In a pot over medium/low heat, melt the coconut oil, maple syrup, salt and brown sugar together. Remove from heat once the sugar is dissolved and everything is well combined. Add in the vanilla extract and stir together.
3. In a large bowl, combine the oats, shredded coconuts, pecans, and almonds.
4. Pour the maple syrup mixture into the bowl with the oat mixture and stir well until fully coated.
5. Dump the granola onto a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Turn the sheet around and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
6. Break off clusters as large as your heart desires and sprinkle the Craisins all over.

Pieces of granola have their place in my heart, but nothing beats a big cluster of granola if you ask me! It’s perfectly sweet, crunchy, salty, and of course…addictive!

I accidentally added 170 grams of starter to my sourdough instead of my usual 100… and honestly?

Best. Mistake. Ever.

The rise was insane, the flavor was so much deeper, and the crumb? I AM OBSESSED.
Between the extra starter and doing two full minutes of stretch + folds every 30 minutes, this loaf might be my new favorite.

Here’s my updated “basic” recipe for two loaves:

720 grams water

170 grams sourdough starter

20 grams salt

1000 grams unbleached white flour

Mix everything together.
Cover and stretch + fold every 30 minutes (4 rounds).
I usually do this before bed and let the dough proof overnight on my counter, covered.
In the morning, refrigerate for 6 hours.

Heat your Dutch oven with the lid on for one hour at 450°F.
Divide the dough (I add inclusions right before baking).
Bake for 30 minutes with the lid on.
Remove the lid and bake for another 15 minutes.
Let cool completely before slicing. Torture, but worth it!

I’m filming a full YouTube video soon so you can follow along step by step. Stay tuned!

If summer had a dessert, this would be it 😍

Buttery, flaky crust + juicy blueberries that bake down into the perfect jammy filling… and the best part? It looks impressive but couldn’t be easier.

This blueberry galette is what you make when you want something warm, cozy, and a little extra without actually doing the most. Add vanilla ice cream while it’s still warm and thank me later.

Save this one, because you will absolutely make it more than once!

👉🏼 comment RECIPE and we will send it over 👌🏼

POV: your neighbors are driving 5 hours home from college weekend 🥱 I knew the last thing they’d want to do was cook, so I made them dinner ❤️ Pasta, marinara + meatballs all ready to go.

Whenever I cook pasta to give away, I boil it 1 minute shy of al dente, then rinse with cold water (yes, I know my late Italian husband is rolling his eyes at me 😂). It stops the cooking and keeps it perfect. Toss with 1 tsp EVOO so the noodles don’t clump.

If you were my neighbor, you’d never have to wonder what’s for dinner. 🍝✨

Crispy, chewy, buttery, chocolatey… these cornflake chocolate chip cookies are everything. The cornflakes add this irresistible golden crunch that takes a classic cookie to a whole new level 😍

We actually stumbled across another creator making something similar and couldn’t stop thinking about it, so of course we had to get in the kitchen and try our own version. Let’s just say… they did NOT disappoint. Frosted Flakes? YES!

They’ve got that nostalgic, cozy flavor with a little twist, and honestly? These might be making their way onto our holiday cookie list this year 👀🎄 But with graduation parties, BBQs, and summer gatherings right around the corner, you don’t have to wait that long to make them.

👉🏼 Trust us: this is one of those recipes you’ll want to keep on repeat. Save this for later and comment “RECIPE” and we’ll send you the link! 💌

This photo popped up on my Timehop today from 11 years ago. We were in the hospital, waiting to bring my husband home for hospice. A nurse walked in and asked if he could shave him, and at first I said no because… what was the point? But he gently explained that on his breaks, he would shave patients who needed help or couldn’t do it themselves.

It was such a simple act of kindness, but one that caught me completely off guard. In the middle of one of the hardest chapters of my life, here was a stranger choosing to care in a way that went far beyond his job description. I’m so grateful I have this photograph. Proof that this moment actually happened, and a reminder that kindness leaves a mark long after the moment is gone.

To every nurse: I commend you. Through all the hospital stays my husband had, I never met a nurse who didn’t give their absolute best. You carry families through moments they’ll never forget, and sometimes you become the steady hand holding everything together.

Here’s to kindness, to compassion, and to the quiet ways people show up when we need it most.

💡 Budget hack alert! Jimmy John’s sells their day-old bread for just 53¢ a loaf 🙌. Cut it up, store in a ziplock, and use within 2–3 days and you’ve got fresh bread for sandwiches at home for way less 💵.

Other ways to use it:
🥪 Pile on deli meat & veggies for a sub
🍞 Make French toast for brunch
🧄 Turn into garlic crostini for soups & salads

Why pay $8 for a sub when you can make it for under $3? 🤑

Ciabatta-Style Bread!

When grocery prices keep creeping up, one of the easiest ways to stretch your dollar is to go back to basics. Making bread from scratch might take a little time, but it’s pennies compared to store-bought…and honestly, it tastes so much better.

As someone who has stretched a tiny budget as far as possible, I know how difficult it can be to put good food on the table without breaking the bank. One of the easiest ways to do so is with recipes like this bread! For a fraction of the cost and minimal effort, I made 8 rolls for less than half the price of a grocery store’s 4 rolls. 

🌟 Ciabatta-Style Bread (Easy & Budget-Friendly)

Ingredients:
	•	1 teaspoon active dry yeast
	•	1 tablespoon sugar
	•	2 ⅓ cups room temperature water 
	•	4 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
	•	½ teaspoon salt
	•	2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions:
	1.	Mix everything except the olive oil together and let it rest for 30 minutes.
	2.	Add the olive oil, then rest another 30 minutes.
	3.	Fold the dough and rest for 30 minutes.
	4.	Fold again and rest for 30 minutes.
	5.	Fold once more and rest for 30 minutes.
	6.	Cut the dough and let it rest on the baking tray for 15 minutes.
	7.	Bake in a preheated 390F oven for 20 minutes.
	8.	For the best crust, pour ½ cup of ice water into a tray in the bottom of the oven as it bakes.

Honeycomb Pasta Bake 😍

If you’re looking for something cozy and simple that feels fancy AF…this is for you! 

I might have beef with WW for calling a serving 11 points, but it’s only 328 calories! It’s easy, hearty, tasty, and looks like you put a lot more effort in than you did.

This loaf pan makes 4 servings. Each serving is:
328 calories
10g fat
51g carbs
3g fiber
11g protein
11 WW points

Serve this with a side salad and some chicken meatballs or sausage and you have a complete meal that looks (and tastes) like it took hours. ❤️ You need to make this!!!

Ingredients:
8 oz (measured dry), cooked Rigatoni pasta
1 cup light Alfredo sauce
1 cup pasta sauce
4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Instructions:
1. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, drain and let cool. 
2. Spray your loaf pan with avocado oil spray. 
3. Spread out 1/2 of the Alfredo sauce on the bottom of the dish. 
4. Stand all of your pasta up, filling the dish.
5. Pour over the pasta sauce, spreading it out so that it sinks into the pasta. Add the other half of the Alfredo sauce on top, spreading it evenly.
6. Sprinkle with the grated parmesan, cover with foil, and bake at 375F for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 15 minutes, and broil 2-4 minutes afterwards if you like an extra golden crunch.

Today would have been our 25th wedding anniversary.

For those of you who don’t know, my husband passed away just shy of our 14th anniversary at the age of 54. The last seven years of his life were hard.  On him, and on us. In and out of hospitals. An aortic heart valve replacement after being diagnosed with endocarditis. A third knee replacement after one became infected, which meant living with an antibiotic spacer for six months before it could be replaced again. 

A hernia surgery that wouldn’t heal, requiring a wound vac for four months. Colon cancer. And eventually, he passed away from complications of congestive heart failure.

While I wish with everything in me that he were still here, I also know that the quality of his life during those final years wasn’t what it should have been. And I have peace. Because I truly believe I was born to take care of him until his very last breath.

I guess the point of this post is simple: don’t take your partner, your spouse, or your significant other for granted. You never know how long you’ll have them. So give them an extra hug today. And tomorrow. And every day.

Because you can.

Happy Anniversary, honey 🤍

Because I truly believe I was born to take care of him until his very last breath. I guess the point of this post is simple: don’t take your partner, your spouse, or your significant other for granted. You never know how long you’ll have them. So give them an extra hug today. And tomorrow. And every day. Because you can. Happy Anniversary, honey 🤍
Of all the things social media has given me, unexpected friendships might be my favorite. 💛

Do you know my friend Jeffrey and are you following him? I found his Instagram back in July of 2020 and casually slipped into his DMs thinking, “we’d be really good friends.” 

Fast forward almost six years later and here we are. Still talking all the time, still laughing, still showing up for each other.

We’ve traveled together to Park City, Utah, Yellowstone, Banff, Canada and basically collected memories instead of just likes. And I’m just so genuinely grateful he’s in my life. Proof that sometimes the internet gets it really, really right.

If you don’t already follow him, you should. I think you’ll love him as much as I do. 💫

@jeffreybinney 💕🤗

Um, and I can’t really dance 😆

Even with loss, I find myself grateful. 💔 

Yesterday, my daughter and her husband had to say goodbye to their 13-year-old dog, Rummy. It was one of the hardest things to witness. Not only watching Rummy’s body begin to shut down, but also watching the heartbreak in Hannah and Jacob’s eyes. 😭

Rummy has been with them since they were just 20 years old, through every season of life. She was part of their beginning, their growth, their home. And for five of those years when Hannah and Jacob lived with me, I had the privilege of sharing life with her too. 🥰

This morning, my heart aches, but it also overflows with gratitude. Grateful for her joy, her sassiness, her unconditional love, and the light she brought into our lives for over a decade.

She will be forever missed, but never forgotten. Rest easy, sweet Rummy. 🐾❤️

Mini French toast bites that are high in protein and WW friendly?  Say less.  Huge shout out to Gianna @gnk.fit for inspiring this genius idea!

One serving ice made with:

2 CarbMaster low carb hot dog buns (cut each into 5-6 pieces)
1 egg
1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar (I use Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cinnadust found on the spice aisle)
1/4 cup sugar free syrup (Mrs. Butterworth’s is my go to)

Whisk the egg, milk, and cinnamon sugar together.  Dunk each piece of bread in the mix, coating both sides.  Cook in a nonstick skillet with avocado oil spray over medium heat for 304 minutes per side, or until golden and toasty.  Serve with syrup!

Stats for the French toast alone:
6 WW points
230 calories | 7 fat | 44 carbs | 26 fiber |24 protein

Add 2 Jimmy Dean turkey sausage links and it’s:
10 WW points
330 calories | 14 fat | 45 carbs |26 fiber | 36 protein

Not bad for a sweet breakfast that doesn’t leave you hungry an hour later.

UPDATE!  I posted these cookies over a week ago, and there were nearly FOUR THOUSAND comments to get the recipe for these cookies.  However, there was a glitch in the auto response, and it would be nearly impossible for me to send the link directly to each of you. 😩

My friend @lori.wilderkilo just messaged me and said “Biz!  Your cookies are to die for!  We just made them.  Your auto cookie thing didn’t work but I found it on your website.” She then said “please recreate your post because they are so worth it!” Thanks Lori!

=====================

Baking is not my strong suit. Too many rules, too much precision, and not enough room for my usual “let’s wing it” energy 😅

With cooking, I can taste as I go, adjust on the fly, but baking? Baking wants me to follow directions. Rude.

So when I tell you these are THE BEST COOKIES I’VE EVER MADE, I’m not exaggerating. Gooey, chewy, golden perfection. They deserve a standing ovation (or at least a spot at your next summer BBQ 🍪☀️).

Comment COOKIES and I’ll DM you the recipe! Trust me, you don’t want to miss these.

POV: I’m officially DONE forcing myself to eat plain non-fat Greek yogurt 🤣

Life is way too short to choke something down just to save a couple measly Weight Watchers points. If I don’t love it, I’m not eating it anymore. Period.

Today’s parfait though?! OBSESSED.  Want the recipe for my trail mix granola?  Comment GRANOLA and I’ll send it to your DM’s.

Siggi’s vanilla yogurt (3 points)
a juicy sumo orange (0)
1/8 cup homemade granola (2)

5 points
20g protein
332 calories

Creamy, sweet, fresh, a little crunch, and actually satisfying 🙌

This is your reminder that enjoying your food is part of the lifestyle. Not punishment.

What’s your go-to yogurt brand and flavor? 👇

Today my beautiful Mom turns 85 years young. 💖

I learned my independence from her. We were both widowed too soon. Me at 46 after 14 years of marriage, and my mom at 59 after 36 years of marriage. Neither of us ever dated again… partly because we don’t believe we could get that lucky twice, and partly because losing your person is one of the hardest things to witness.

But my mom never stopped living. She’s one of the most active people I know! Bowling, Mahjong, book club, luncheons at the club on Mondays, choir practice, and probably more social outings than I’ll ever have. They say a body in motion stays in motion, and my mom is proof of that.

So keep moving, Momma!  Here’s to celebrating your 85th!. I love you to the moon and back. 🌙✨
