When life gives you lard, make sourdough tortillas! I have always used a really nice sourdough tortilla recipe that a friend passed on to me.

With that said, this lemon coconut butter fudge might be my …

I’ve been baking whole wheat bread since the beginning of my sourdough journey. In fact in culinary school I developed a recipe for honey whole wheat sourdough bread. I called it Market St. Sourdough because I was living near Market St. in Santa Cruz at the time. I got an A on that project but …
