Sourdough Starter
This recipe makes a sourdough starter using flour, clean water, and yeast. After fermentation has occurred, keep the starter in a covered glass container in the refrigerator until ready to use for making bread. Sourdough starters improve with age as you feed them — pass on any sourdough discards to friends and family!
Healthier BBQ Pork for Sandwiches
This meat is so good for sandwiches. I like to add a little fiber to it with some carrots and cut out some sugar by using mesquite sauce.
English Quiche Lorraine
I grew up in the U.K. making English quiche Lorraine — guests always ask for the recipe. I bake it for friends at Christmas, wrap it in foil, and voilà, they have a delicious holiday breakfast to wake up to.
