breakfast — Read — Julianna Strickland

Now that most of my time and energy are spent baking sourdough loaves every day, I have a good stash of sourdough discard in the fridge patiently waiting to be made into something. So far I’ve made cinnamon rolls and bagels with my sourdough discard, and then last night I tried chocolate sourdough banana bread and it’s GREAT. Moist without being too soft, sweet without being cloying, and a little tangy. I’m into it, and I hope you will be, too! (Also, apologies for a lack of pictures, it was dark when I was making it last night and I didn’t snap any cute pics, oops).

weekend breakfast tacos

The thing I like the most about my weekends is the pace. I try to slow down, sleep in, take my time. And the perfect food for lazy weekends? Tacos, of the breakfast variety.

homemade corn tortillas

I never liked corn tortillas until I visited Mexico years ago and tasted my first handmade one. WHOA. When they’re hot off the grill they’re soft and warm and so insanely delicious. I asked if someone would teach me how to make them (good news, I found a willing taker) and now they’re something I love making at home.

sweet potato smoothie

If you’ve been following my instagram lately you’ve probably seen that I’m a smoothie addict. It’s such an easy way to get a lot of veggies and nutrients into your body first thing in the AM! But sometimes I get bored of green smoothies and ALSO it’s good to eat more grounding foods like sweet potatoes and ginger in the cold months, so this smoothie is perfect for the winter.

avocado toast

The key to good avo toast is the right balance of acid (lemon) and salt (salt, duh). Also adding some fresh herbs brightens the whole thing up. Also adding radishes is good because they're 1) pretty 2) crunchy 3) healthy. Triple threat.
