A Little About Me...

I’m Ashley, a Registered Dietitian turned sourdough enthusiast and food blogger. I earned my degree in Food and Nutrition in 2018, and now I live in rural Massachusetts with my fiancé, two cats (Holland and Maeve), and a growing flock of backyard chickens.

As a homebody at heart, food blogging is the perfect fit. It lets me connect with others through recipes, emails, and social media - all from the comfort of home.

When I’m not developing recipes for the blog, you’ll find me tending my garden in the summer, squeezing in a workout in my tiny home gym, or sipping a big cup of coffee with my favorite breakfast – overnight oats.

And because balance is key, I always end the the day with a piece of chocolate as a treat (shoutout to my fellow chocolate lovers!).

My love for baking goes way back to childhood, when I’d help my dad make apple pie every Thanksgiving. But my sourdough baking journey began a few years ago with lots of flat, failed loaves. After plenty of trial and error, I finally baked my first successful sourdough bread, and I’ve been hooked ever since.

Now, I bake almost daily and love finding fun, creative ways to use up sourdough discard (because we all have way too much of it, right?).

Before I became a full-time blogger, I worked as a healthcare professional. I started this blog as a creative outlet during the pandemic to help relieve stress.

What began as a general scratch-cooking blog quickly evolved into a niche space for sourdough recipes when my sourdough discard pizza dough went viral on Pinterest. It’s still my most popular recipe today, along with other fan favorites like sourdough cheese crackers, brownies, and granola bars.

As a Registered Dietitian and self-proclaimed foodie, I use my expertise to create simple, approachable sourdough recipes just for you. Whether you’re baking your first sourdough loaf or looking for creative ways to use excess discard, I’m here to make it fun and easy.
