It has been a long past few weeks. I have been having some health probelms and really feel it has been my lack of following the knowledge I have. I am focusing back on my TF/WAPF ways. I am back to doing lots of cooking, fermenting and I am going to venture into my own spelt/rye sourdough later this week. I will post as I have successes :) I hope to come back a little later and add in some links above to recipes already on my blog in the past. Feel free to leave me a comment if there is something in particular you are looking for. See you all back soon!
