Saw a girl on TT do it and since I'm deep in my sourdough era I said, yeah, let me try that too. Ended up with two versions: sea salt and compound butter for frying. Both came out so good that I have to make another batch already...

Look at this slice. It did not come out perfect, and that is exactly why I almost did not post it.

I have this innate need for things to be perfect, and it has quietly kept me from stepping into so many versions of myself.

So here it is, flaws and all. It still tasted incredible 🤤

The last stop in my guava era. One ingredient, four recipes: the loaf, the syrup, the latte, and now this. The full story is in Issue 04 of Cooking and the Algorithm, linked in my bio.

Comment CHEESECAKE and I will send you the recipe.

#GuavaCheesecake #NoBakeCheesecake #SlowLiving #doneisbetterthanperfect #personalgrowth❤️

Iced Guava Latte 🧋
2 Nespresso pods, brewed and cooled over ice
Half and half, 1/2 cup, frothed with 1 tbsp guava syrup
A drizzle of condensed milk in the cup
2 tbsp guava syrup
Add the coffee, top with the frothy half and half, and enjoy

The algorithm brought me here. The style kept me.

This is my favorite inclusion loaf, and the leftover guava paste from it became something I cannot wait to show you. So this is where the story starts.

If you can make a traditional loaf you can make this. The guava and cheese fold in during your last two stretch and folds, and the overnight cold proof is where the magic happens.

My first ever reel completely in Spanish?! Be nice to me, because as Cardi would say… my Spanish is muy ratata 😅 I find myself speaking more and more spanglish these days

Maintenance Mode in your thirties means knowing when to put the brush down and let a professional handle it. And those of you who've followed me for years know I learned makeup on my own and made content exactly like this back in the day. So when I tell you Junior's craft is amazing it's because I know talent when I see it.

I met Junior through his husband, someone I worked with years ago and stayed in touch with all this time. I've been following his work and I'm genuinely in awe of his talent. He primed my skin with Chanel, the base was MAC, quality products and an attention to detail that was worth every penny.

This is what real self-care looks like having someone you trust for the moments that matter. That's not a luxury, that's knowing your worth.

Support small businesses. This is real artistry and it deserves to be seen 🌸

First time stepping into my new office so naturally I needed a fit with executive function 💼🌸

Funny enough, my friend @chulaincharge wore this exact lilac power suit to a speaking engagement @harvard and it screamed PODEROSA & that was enough for me so I immediately hit her up for the deets 🤏🏾

Welcome to Ep 1 of #sourdoughmami & before we bake a single thing, we need to talk about your starter. Save this post. You're coming back to it.

─────────────────────
🧾 WHAT YOU NEED
─────────────────────

🫙 A clean glass jar (wide mouth mason jar works perfectly)
⚖️ A kitchen scale (weight is everything — do not eyeball)
🥄 A long spoon or spatula for stirring
🧻 A rubber band or piece of tape (to mark the rise)
🪡 A loose lid, cheesecloth, or coffee filter to cover

─────────────────────
🍞 WHAT YOU'LL USE
─────────────────────

▸ All-purpose flour OR bread flour (high protein content; unbleached)
▸ Room temperature filtered or non-chlorinated water
→ Tap water can work but let it sit out for 30 min first so the chlorine dissipates

─────────────────────
📋 HOW TO ACTIVATE
─────────────────────

Step 1 — STIR

Step 2 — FEED
Add equal parts starter, flour, and water by weight.
Example: 50g starter + 50g flour + 50g water
Stir until fully combined — no dry flour left.

Step 3 — MARK
Put a rubber band or piece of tape at the current level of your starter so you can track the rise.

Step 4 — COVER
Cover loosely — she needs to breathe. A coffee filter, cheesecloth, or a lid rested on top (not sealed) works perfectly.

Step 5 — WARMTH
Here's my hack: my house temperature is unstable so Do-Kischa lives in the oven with just the light on. No heat — just the light. It keeps her between 75–80°F which is exactly what she needs. She doubles in about 3-4 hours doing this every time.

Step 6 — WATCH FOR THE SIGNS
She's ready when:
✔ She has doubled in size
✔ Bubbles on the surface AND down the sides of the jar
✔ The top is slightly domed, peak activity
✔ She smells tangy and yeasty (not like nail polish, means she's hungry)

Step 7 — THE FLOAT TEST
Drop a small spoonful into a glass of water.
Floats - Good
Sinks - more time or another feeding

What you'll need:
🫙 Dutch oven — @krustic_crafts
🧺 Banneton — @knead_ace
🔪 Bench scraper ⚖️ Kitchen scale 📜Parchment paper — @amazon

I got this self-watering tomato planter with trellis and I'm OBSESSED. It's compact, it waters itself (busy girl approved) and took me literally zero tools to set up.

Growing my tomatoes on my patio for the first time and I'm not taking questions 😅

#Clean, #safety-first upgrade.

The Britax highback #booster is what I moved my kid into when I wanted structure without overcomplicating installs. Side impact protection, proper belt positioning, and it actually grows with them instead of needing another switch in a few months.

No guesswork. No constant adjusting. Just a solid, comfortable ride that does its job.
