I just love breakfast foods. Pancakes, Waffles, Homemade Granola, oatmeal, eggs, Sourdough Drop Biscuits, Sourdough Peanut Butter Crepes, bacon…it may be one of my love languages. Muffins are another one of those easy Saturday morning breakfast items in our household. They function as a dessert or a midday snack too (that is…if they last past breakfast). Wouldn’t it be great... Continue Reading →
With two tiny boys running and crawling under my feet, I need quick and simple options for breakfast. I also prefer to feed my family healthy and whole food options...finding breakfast items that meet both of these standards is challenging and expensive! That's why I'm working to expand my sourdough baking skills. I've already created... Continue Reading →
Chocolate Zucchini bread is one of my favorite quick breads! It’s subtle sweetness and moist texture make it a perfect comfort food for any occasion. Unfortunately, just because it contains a vegetable doesn’t necessarily make it the healthiest bread. I wanted a homemade chocolate zucchini bread recipe that contained zero conventional sugars and the health... Continue Reading →
We love our desserts here on the Hilltop! Warm cookies, sweet mug brownies, creamy ice cream, and freshly-baked pies are a few of our most popular choices.

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 →
I just baked strawberry rhubarb pie as my husband’s Father’s Day dessert. I’ve been wanting a healthier alternative to a pie crust for awhile now and I believe I’ve found a great alternative! We all know what pies are usually full of refined sugars, so why not make the crust as healthy as possible? This... Continue Reading →
Summer evenings are for grilled hamburgers, brats, and hot dogs. So many fond memories have been made around such a dinner! The only way I can think to improve grilled burgers is by serving them on homemade sourdough buns. I've been prepping a hamburger bun recipe to have in time for the summer cookouts and...

Banana bread has to be one of my most favorite quick breads of all time! It's subtle sweetness and moist texture make it a perfect comfort food for any occasion. Unfortunately, just because it contains bananas doesn't necessarily make it the healthiest snack. I wanted a homemade banana bread recipe that contained zero conventional sugars... Continue Reading →
I created a Sourdough Pizza Crust recipe a few months ago and it is our family's 'go-to' for Friday night pizzas! I wanted to give it a try in the cast iron skillet just out of curiosity. The process was just as easy as making a homemade pizza in a regular baking pan or sheet!... Continue Reading →
