Okay, fine, it’s not the only reason, but it’s Okay, fine, it’s not the only reason, but it’s a reaallllyy good reason to buy another pumpkin!

My new sourdough pumpkin bagel recipe is up on our blog!
https://cultured.guru

these roasted pumpkin bagels can be made savory or sweet! Both options are included in the recipe and are perfect for fall sourdough baking. 

The savory is a pumpkin, parmesan, onion (leek) flavor, and the sweet is a cinnamon brown sugar pumpkin flavor! ✨

You can also choose to use active starter or discard with yeast. It’s up to you! 

Let me know if you try baking these this weekend! 🍂🎃🥯

Google “golden beet kvass recipe” and you’ll Google “golden beet kvass recipe” and you’ll see mine, it’s the first one. 🫧✨

I only like to learn fermentation from two places: from knowing the microbes and from cultural recipes passed down in families.

I originally learned how to make kvass from a Russian food blogger, named Peter. @petersfoodadventures He grew up drinking beet kvass made by his grandfather. It doesn’t get more historically/culturally accurate than that

After learning from Peter’s blog, I developed my golden beet kvass recipe, with some slight variations of my own and a secondary fermentation to carbonate it. (Peter is credited and linked in the recipe blog too, so you can check out his original beet kvass recipe!)

Anyways, beet kvass is a delicious, sweet, bubbly beverage, not a salty lacto-ferment 🤗🫧✨

dont want to be dramatic, buttttt these sourdough dont want to be dramatic, buttttt these sourdough apple carrot muffins are the best thing I bake every fall! 🍎🥕they’re perfectly spiced, soft, sweet and moist,  and I love to top them with a little icing. If you’re looking for a fall sweet that isn’t toooo sweet and is still healthy,  the full recipe is available on my website  https://cultured.guru and linked right in my bio. happy baking!
nuance is needed in the alcohol conversation. Pe nuance is needed in the alcohol conversation. 

People in Blue Zones , particularly in Mediterranean regions, often drink 1-2 glasses of wine daily with meals and among friends, enjoying organic wines rich in antioxidants. 

This contrasts with new studies that show “no safe level of alcohol.” These new studies lump together all types of alcohol (including hard liquor) consumed in unhealthy ways, without distinction of specific lifestyle and beverage consumption environment.

I think context is key. Wine is not necessarily a reason for longevity in Blue Zones, but it is a small, supportive component of a larger lifestyle that includes a fiber-rich diet, regular physical activity, strong social connections, and a sense of purpose. Consumption is limited to about 1-2 glasses per day and is almost always enjoyed with food and in the company of friends and family. 

This turns wine into a ritual that promotes social bonds. Not a toxic coping mechanism.

And type of alcohol does matter. Many Blue Zone populations, especially in the Mediterranean, drink natural, organic, or locally grown and brewed wines, which have a much higher antioxidant content and a lower sugar, pesticide, and additive content. 

Because of all of this, I think more nuance is needed in the alcohol conversation.

(Disclaimer: I am very well aware of the epidemiology that states no amount of alcohol is safe. In the general population, especially in America, drinking patterns, social patters, and lifestyle are all predominately unhealthy. So yes, for the general, average population no amount of alcohol can be considered safe.)
