I love @carolinaground and getting to spend a litt I love @carolinaground and getting to spend a little time with @jllapidus was a highlight of my trip. I spent the rest of the week mixing dough and baking with my sweet nieces. The Dirty Blond flour is available for shipping, and boy is it a fun one to play with. Also, did you know that this mill is solar powered?!? Best of the best. I hope to be back in the fall for more baking adventures! #sustainablefoodsystems #northcarolina #solarpowered #flour
Mother’s Day is coming, and nothing makes me fee Mother’s Day is coming, and nothing makes me feel more like a proud mama than to have my book on the shelves @littletbaker 🌾💛🍞💛📚These are all the goods I would want for a special Mother’s Day, including all the amazing brunch pastries and breads I could ask for. #portlandoregon #bakerylove #mothersday

A book takes many people to complete. Next, I want A book takes many people to complete. Next, I want to thank the photographers who contributed. 📷❤️ @shawnlinehan did the cover, and @leelacyd and @extracelestial captured some of the best bread moments. Many thanks to you for bringing this book to life.
Hi everyone. It’s been a while, but I wanted to Hi everyone. It’s been a while, but I wanted to pop in to say that my collection of everyday recipes is out as a book. Longform has always been my medium, and I’m excited to share! These are the recipes that are on my bread board and table regularly. If you want to check it out, the link is in my profile. 

I have many people to thank in bringing this book into the world, and into your hands. Bread is about community, and this book reflects the relationships that have carried me. 

Let me start with @hey_jenni_ for being with me on this project from beginning to end, and with @k.e.gourley for swooping in when needed. These two put the pieces of this book together.
You know you’re among friends when you suggest a You know you’re among friends when you suggest a bagel spot because you’ve heard it’s the best, and your Brooklyn-based friends show up with extra bagels from their favorite places. They set up a spontaneous taste-test in the park, and it does, in fact, prove that their off-the-radar bagel spot has the superior bagel. 🥯💛🥯

Altogether, my kid and I went to eleven bagel places from Harlem to Park Slope, and while we enjoyed many of them, we both agreed that @talbagels had our hole-less little hearts.
Our Daily Bread Now you are a microcosm of the tu Our Daily Bread

Now you are a microcosm
of the tumbling
universe, carried by
time’s debris to sustain
and delight.
I dip my finger in,
cradle you with my senses
as you reach for me

with your sweet
malty scent—
Your grasses
and oceans
and a million
living molecules
that feed and transform
and become.

Someday we will cut
into this, slice away
thick hearty pieces,
take bites we think
we can swallow,
nourish our heartbreak—
heels of crust waiting
to be gnawed.

We’ve already yielded
to this mystery of holding
together and pushing outward,
the quotidian balance
our bodies allow
after the crush of furrows,
our selves worked
until ready for fire.

Take this—
a thousand bites
of bread and devour
long eons of toil
and hunger, morning’s
darkness, awakened
in wild necessity for
a taste of you.
I slice a lot of bread and think nothing of it. Wh I slice a lot of bread and think nothing of it. When my friend @sonyamichellesanford sent me this photo of my hands cutting bread for a meal we were about to share, I suddenly saw the meaning of “breaking bread” as the simple act of sharing that it is. 🌾💛🍞Bread is my favorite meditation.
I could not be more excited to teach this class wi I could not be more excited to teach this class with @sonyamichellesanford I’ve been a student in her classes and always learn a ton! Her recipes are the perfect accompaniment to the naturally leavened pita that is a mainstay in my home.
