I am excited to have a baking day planned for today. My husband and sons love their bread, but I haven’t been buying too much of it lately because of my own personal health concerns. After seeing them devour a loaf  of sourdough bread this week with no ill consequences I realized it’s time to let bread back in, for them at least. I plan to make a soaked yeasted dough recipe until I can get a sourdough starter going. A loaf of my coconut bread and maybe these sugar-free cranberry-walnut muffins will also go into the oven.

This week’s meals are nothing unique. I have a certain amount of produce leftover from last week’s trip to the farm that I need to use up by Friday. Saturday is our "Thanksgiving share" at our CSA so we will receive 30-40 pounds of produce, which I am excited about. Shall we get to the menu….
