Long before sourdough was a "thing", it was the ONLY thing, and it was really an easy thing. Early bakers learned that under the right conditions, flour and water became a living tool that would allow a blob of dough to become a hearty and delicious form of sustenance. This recipe combines the classic Greek touch of olive oil into a rustic, village style bread that is perfect for all your bread needs! Come on over for a visit and to get the recipe, and as always, please tag a friend and share! https://mostly-greek.com/2019/08/15/whole-wheat-olive-oil-sourdough-bread . . . #mostlygreek #greekcuisine #greekfood #foodblogeats #bestfoodfeed #noleftovers #seriouseats #damnthatsdelish #bestfoodfeed #igfoodies #tastethisnext #foodnation #mediterraneandiet #goodfoods #eatrealfood #gardentotable #greek #greeks #cookingfromscratch #mycommontable #madefromscratch #easyrecipe #instarecipe #bakingday #bakersofig #ilovebread #sourdough

Yes, it's still summer. Yes, it's time to think about your fall garden! Many plants that do well as cool weather crops, actually need warmer weather for germinating from seed. So this month and next month are really some of the ideal times to get crops like cabbages, broccoli, brussel sprouts, etc. ready to go. Not only do I have information about growing cabbages on my website, I also have instructions for fermenting whole cabbage heads, and a couple of recipes for cabbage rolls that you can make from your own harvest! Come on over, and please tag a friend and share! https://mostly-greek.com/2018/08/08/cabbage . . . . #mostlygreek #vegetablegarden #urbangardening #ediblegarden #flowergarden #herbgarden #growyourownfood #naturalgarden #bees #pollinators #organicgardening #organicgarden #greenlife #greenliving #outdoorlife #californialiving #californialife #planttherapy #gardenharvest #gardentotable #gardeningisfun #urbanhomestead #ilovegardening

I have figured out the secrets of what makes a helluva good chocolate chip cookie. Seriously. Addictively good. Like, you may just want to make a half-recipe just to be on the safe side if your level of self-control is anywhere near mine kind of good. And guess what, I'm passing those secrets on to you. Shhhh... just make sure you tell everyone. All you have to do is come on over to get them, and then get baking!
