My method is simple: a lively sourdough starter, time, and ingredients you can pronounce. I hand-roll, cut, and bake each batch for that crisp snap and toasty, tangy flavor that makes snack boards and lunch boxes extra satisfying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When my apron\u2019s off, I lead a playful, active life that fuels my cooking. I sing, sew, and knit; I bike, paddle board, and soak up lake time. I love to travel with my husband and our crew of four boys (plus one wonderful daughter-in-law). The kitchen is my sandbox: I\u2019m forever testing new flavours I\u2019ve dreamed up, spotted online, or learned from the many hours of cooking and baking shows I adore. I\u2019m a lifelong learner, taking cues from chefs on screen and from friends, family, and fellow makers.urs of cooking and baking shows I adore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This little business is my way of sharing that joy\u2014bakes that make people happy and, when you\u2019re curious, lessons to help you create your own. No shortcuts, no additives\u2014just honest, slow baking done with care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\ud83c\udfa5<\/strong> Watch me on the Panoramic RV YouTube Channel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Catch me cooking live on my friend&#8217;s Youtube show, Panoramic RV <br>I joined Philippe, in Fairmont Hot Springs, to do some cooking and enjoy the mountain views in our Panoramic RV.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nrZbFDJlVz8\">Butternut Squash Risotto <\/a> <br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=epn_0nEZq00&amp;t=1s\">Pumpkin Spice Pancakes<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1044","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.whiskingwitch.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1044","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.whiskingwitch.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.whiskingwitch.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.whiskingwitch.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.whiskingwitch.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1044"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.whiskingwitch.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1044\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1256,"href":"https:\/\/www.whiskingwitch.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1044\/revisions\/1256"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.whiskingwitch.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1044"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
