I created a Sourdough Brownie recipe a few months ago and it really is such a great, healthier than your average brownie, dessert! I wanted to give the recipe a try in the cast iron skillet just out of curiosity. The process was just as easy as making homemade brownies in a regular baking pan!... Continue Reading →
Sometimes you just need a little treat to look forward to enjoying at the end of a long day. I know I do! I often mix up a Honey Sweetened Mug Brownie during my sons' nap or after they've gone to sleep for the night. It's like a reward and unwind for a hard day's... Continue Reading →

No-bake cookies have to be one of the simplest cookie recipes out there. They are especially ideal as a summer dessert when I don't want the oven heating up the whole house!

Here at the Hilltop we strive to make as many things as we can homemade: Fermented Pickles, Cinnamon Applesauce, Garden-Fresh Tomato Sauce, Sourdough Tortillas, and so much more! Peanut...

That time finally came a few weeks ago as... Continue Reading →

We often rotate between sourdough pancakes, waffles, chocolate chip muffins, crepes, or biscuits.
