What I love about homemade granola is how quick it is to make. Typically, my husband lets me know one evening that we’re low on granola and I get started making it right away. I mix it, bake it, let it sit over night, and store it in an air-tight container. The maple syrup makes…
Breakfast burritos are perhaps my favorite food in all the world–only if they have Hatch green chiles! I make these with my homemade flour tortillas. You can whip up the tortillas the day before, even the week before. They will keep well in the freezer until you’re ready for them. The filling is really up…

I hopped on the sourdough train rather late but I’m so glad I finally did it! Cutting a slice of warm sourdough bread and slathering in butter is growing to be one of my favorite things! Finding the Right Recipe It took me a while to find the right recipe that worked with my sourdough…
