Recipe
Ingredients Garlic Oil
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large garlic clove, very thinly sliced
Directions
Heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-high. Add the garlic slices and cook until sizzling, 30 to 40 seconds. As soon as you see any sign of browning, remove from heat immediately, as the garlic will continue to cook and turn completely golden in the hot oil.
▢ 1/2 cup sourdough starter discard, 142 grams ▢ 1 large egg ▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 5 grams ▢ 3 tablespoons heavy cream, 45 grams (milk can be substituted)
Instructions In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Grate frozen butter into the dry ingredients with a cheese grater and cut in with a pastry cutter. (You can also use your hands or a food processor).
Add in the mix-ins and coat with flour. Set the bowl aside.
In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients. Fold the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
On a clean, lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into a circle about 8” in diameter. Cut the circle into 6 equal parts.
Place on a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper about 2” apart.
Put in the fridge for 30 minutes up to 3 days for a longer fermentation. They will not ferment much at 30 minutes, but after 3 days the grains should be nicely fermented.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400°. Brush the top of the scones with cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 25 minutes and serve with butter,honey or jam!

Ever watch something on tv that you just feel like you need to eat or you’ll feel empty for the rest of your life? That’s how I felt with just about everything they eat in the movie “Julie and Julia.” It’s likely I’ll be posting a lot of inspiration from that movie, but for now… a snack I’ll be making again and again.

I don’t often get a Sunday off where things slow down and I get to relax… but I stumbled upon such a golden day and took advantage my making a large batch of spaghetti sauce that I was able to can for the future. The good thing about this recipe is that it can easily be thrown together and put in a slow cooker if you’re not around to watch it. Over the stove.
Ingredients (remember to measure with your heart)
2 large (28oz cans tomato puree) 2 cans diced tomatoes 1 can tomato paste 1 green pepper 1 onion Baby Bella mushrooms8 oz (can add more or less depending on taste) Garlic – as much as you like Fresh basil – a good handful Dried oregano Splash red wine maybe 1/4 cup I use Italian turkey sausage- either hot or sweet- you can leave out if you don’t want meat or can use pork sausage. If you can’t find ground just remove from casing and cook.
Brown sausage first then just throw it all in and cook on low for about 6hrs.
Can leave in stove or throw in crock pot
I like to blend it after its cooked with the immersion blender but you can keep it chunky if you prefer
It’s that’s time of year that we celebrate by overindulging in food and gifts. When it comes to family gifts for my siblings I have made a true effort to create homemade consumable gifts so that their houses aren’t overwhelmed with junk they no longer need. In my care packages I made everyone a small bottles of Irish Cream, lemon cello, orange cello and beef jerky!
