Sourdough Skillet Bread

This recipe is a favorite when you need a quick side bread. It bakes up in minutes and uses the sourdough discard. You can add different fresh herbs or grate some cheese to make it extra special. Using this bread as a sandwich base adds a delightful change to the everyday bread choices. Having a balsamic dipping sauce alongside the bread is a delicious way to eat it as well. I bake this skillet bread in my well seasoned and loved cast-iron skillet.

There were two ewes that didn’t lamb, but I knew I was pushing my ram with the number of ewes I had this year, so I was not completely surprised. In June Copper was starting to look quite round. Was she finding all the prime grazing spots on our place…?

Welcome to Our Winter Table

Why do we eat? Do we eat to live or do we live to eat? Eating, as we know, is essential for life. But the question is, what does food really do for us?

She is independent and quite spunky at her young age. I hope that as a future milk cow she grows to enjoy hanging around people as much as she does the sheep!
