Hello, everyone. This is Sophie from Sprinkle with Soil and I’m excited to share my journey with you today.  In 1975, my parents were refugees from Vietnam who had to start from scratch in a new country. We didn’t have a lot of money, and my siblings and I learned the value of hard work […]

In our home, we will make at least a Sourdough Boule weekly. It is delicious, crunchy on the outside, and just the perfect soft white bread on the inside. Mix the dough in the evening before and enjoy your fresh and easy homemade sourdough boule for dinner! We will eat this with raw milk butter, […]

Sourdough naan is one of our family favorites for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! The best part is being able to enjoy it with little planning ahead of time for those busy weekdays. This sourdough naan is cooked on the stovetop, and cooked similar to making pancakes. Simply butter your cast iron pan for the extra […]

You probably can’t wait to start having chickens and fresh eggs. And if you’re like us, you probably found a way to do so as you begin “transitioning” into this new way of living, Homesteading. But by now you may desire to have more land and less restrictions on what to build and types of […]
