This in not an exclusive list but are the top 6 th This in not an exclusive list but are the top 6 things I do right now when it comes to supporting myself and my health. What are you doing right now to support yourself?
What's in your bread? When you have food intolera What's in your bread? When you have food intolerances or sensitivities it makes no sense to be buying junk bread at the store. If you don't know what is in your bread or understand what's in your bread when you read the label then you can't make informed decisions about what you are eating. This might sting a bit for some, but I find more and more people are becoming aware of this. The conversations I have in my workshops on wheat sourdough and gluten free sourdough reflect this knowledge. You folks are getting informed and want to know more about how your ingredients are grown and processed. That is why I believe it is so important to know your baker super well, buy from someone who you can trust and doesn't use unknown ingredients in their bread. Or better yet, you can learn to bake your own and control exactly what goes into it! This is especially important if you are having trouble digesting many foods. That is why I am so passionate about teaching others to bake their own bread. I have two spots open in my upcoming gluten free sourdough workshop- it's for anyone! It isn't as hard as it seems and in some ways it is actually easier than regular wheat sourdough. Info is in my bio for registration! Or send me a DM and we can chat 🙂 #glutenfreesourdough #learntobakeGF #renfrewcounty #ottawavalley #whitewaterregion #sourdoughworkshops

I always love the look of the bubbles in Wholegrai I always love the look of the bubbles in Wholegrain stiff levains! I've been baking so many loaves in my production bakes for everyone else's orders lately that I haven't been able to keep up with our own household bread 😬 Baking up some whole wheat sourdough pan loaves using @maurizio The Perfect Loaf Honey Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread recipe. Using stoneground Red Fife flour from @ironwoodorganics 😀 What are your favourite baking books? #sourdoughbread #homebaking #wholegrainbaking #organicbread #stonegroundflour
Last weekend I used my Healy to help relax my nerv Last weekend I used my Healy to help relax my nervous system (teaching a workshop in a new place, interacting with lots of new people at an event) and support myself physically. I had a head and neck ache and my lymph glands were swelling up around my ears. I ran a pain program, bed rest (parasympathetic support for good sleep and relaxation) and the tonsil program. I had an amazing night sleep and felt rested and ready for the next day. I have found individualized frequency support from Healy to be great on a day to day basis, but this acute experience blew me out of the water! I wanted to share because I was so amazed, even after having this device for 6 months now I am learning more ways to use it to support myself and my family!
Ten years ago the inaugural sourdough loaves were Ten years ago the inaugural sourdough loaves were baked for Heather's Hearth! Thank you FB for reminding me 😅. Patrick @ridgelinewelding and I had a dream of a farm and wood fired oven business. We spent the spring of 2013 gathering rocks, laying bricks, mixing cob and building this oven and covering structure at our mentor farmers property( 🙏 Bob Dobson). It seems like feeble beginnings now but it was a huge undertaking! I think I could fit 12 loaves in that oven at a time and had to re-fire it more than once a day. In June my sales at the Carp Farmer's market took off and I spent two full days baking a fraction of what I bake now in a day. What a wild trip looking back... Thank you to everyone who helped me get to where I am today. I couldn't have done it without you ❤️
