Woke up at 3am and I couldn't go back to sleep. So Woke up at 3am and I couldn't go back to sleep. So I decided to start my day and finish off baking my sourdough bread, feed my starter and used the discard to make sourdough pizza dough-all while binge watching Never Have I ever. #teampaxton

It's only 10 am over here and I'm already ready to call it a day .

I definitely need to practice more to perfect the recipe but it smells amazing and it turned out much better than the last loaf I made. The hardest part about making sourdough bread is waiting two hours before cutting into it . 😒 
Recipe from @lailas_levain !

Sourdough pizza 🍕 coming soon :)

By the way, why is halloumi cheese only a seasonal item? It should be available all year round.  I'm lookin' at you @traderjoes 👀

Chocolate Almond Biscotti, recipe is from one of m Chocolate Almond Biscotti, recipe is from one of my favorite baking books Ready for Dessert by @davidlebovitz 

I can be a little extra (maybe it's the Leo in me 🦁) and I had to add my own twist to this so I candied the almonds with a little water, sugar, butter and sea salt. It added a nice sweet and salty element to the biscotti which I loved.

P.s I under baked them a bit because my twins were getting hangry and they didn't give a sh*t if I had something baking in the oven😅 Nonetheless,  they still tasted delicious.

east west what?

OK, this has nothing to do with the East Coast/West Coast rap rivalry from the 90’s or opium for that matter. In Jordan-where I grew up- the poppy flower grows abundantly in the springtime and it’s tied to many special childhood memories. I now live in California, where the poppy happens to be California’s State flower! The title encompasses the wonderful memories of growing up in the Middle East along with my present and future here in California.
