A happy girl in pearls. 🥹

Maple Bean claims an “intruder” messed up her bed… it was her all along while in her alter ego Disasterina Ballerina mode. It comes out more when her socks are in pretty paws mode. 🤣😏

I hope everyone who enjoys pumpkin flavored breads gets to make this. It’s phenomenal. I added 1 tsp of cinnamon and 1 tsp of pumpkin spice seasoning to the sugar swirl which the recipe calls for one or the other. I personally used active starter because it’s what I had on hand but discard is just fine*. This turned out delicious and succulent. I served it with a side of ZOI honey flavored Greek yogurt and it paired perfectly. My partner has demanded I now make this year round. They happy danced the entire time eating. 🤭🥰

This was so good! Even my texture sensitive partner loved how this turned out. I’ll write out my recipe as best I can.

Recipe:

Pre-heat oven to 450°

Cook up some breakfast sausage then chop into cubes in same cast iron pan you’ll use for this whole recipe.

Wipe the pan with a paper towel add to oven for it to get scorching hot. Take out again once that’s been done and add 1-2 TBSP of EVOO to 8 in. cast iron pan, make sure it’s super hot.

Add 1 cup (or so) of sourdough discard to the pan. Spread it out, even up the sides. I added Kinder’s The Blend and some garlic salt on it. Put back in oven for 5 min for the crust to set. Remove the pan and let it sit on stove during prep:

1/2 c diced red peppers
1/2 c diced yellow peppers
Finely chop fresh herbs: parsley/rosemary/sage/thyme
Add spices of your choosing, I used: chili powder, smoked paprika, hot paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, Italian seasoning, garlic salt, white pepper, and turmeric.
6 eggs
1/2 c (or more for larger batch) of heavy whipping cream
3 TBSP of grated Parmesan
1/2 c shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Add everything to a bowl and mix well including chopped sausage. Pour mixture into cast iron over the sourdough discard crust. Reduce heat to 400° and cook for 25-30 min until eggs are set. I added green salsa on mine. Amazing! 🥘

Maple Bean is working that cuteness to collect some cheese tax 🤭.

I had a very large amount of sourdough discard I had been collecting in a jar in my fridge and decided to make a pizza with it using my 12 in cast iron pan. It turned out incredible. I added seasonings and sea salt with a splash of EVOO while I baked the discard. Not sure I’ll ever go back to making actual pizza dough after this.

Oven at 425 degrees
Get pan super hot.
Pour oil in and then discard in (as much as you’d like)
Sprinkle with seasonings of your choice (I used Italian, oregano, Kinders brand garlic and black pepper, pink sea salt, and EVOO)
Bake until the sides come away from the pan
Remove and transfer to a slightly oiled pizza baking sheet (didn’t want the bottom to burn)
Added toppings (sauce, provolone, Canadian bacon, shredded mozzarella cheese, pineapple chunks, and fresh mozzarella - 2 layers of it)
Sprinkled Italian seasoning on top and baked at 400 degrees for 10 min then broiled for 2 min.
So good!

Maple might not have been fully awake early this morning but her sonar ears sure were. 😬🤭

We think Maple Bean is listening to conversations happening in galaxies far, far away.

Socks on, ears up, nest made… Maple Bean is ready for bed. 🐾🧦

“Maybe she’s born with it? Maybe it’s Maple Bean!” (To the tune of Mabelline’s jingle) Maple was def born with her socks on and rather epic bing bong ears. My partner and I adopted her on Saturday. She’s shy of a year old and so perfect. 🐾
