Welcome to PleasyRecipes!
Hi there! I’m Sarah Miller, a 38-year-old mom from Asheville, North Carolina. I never planned to become a sourdough baker—I just wanted to stop wasting my leftover starter and feed my family without losing my mind. I started experimenting during my babies’ nap times, turning sourdough discard into easy meals like pancakes that rose perfectly and cheesy crackers that calmed toddler cravings.
I’m not professionally trained, but I believe food should feel like a warm hug. My kitchen is often a little messy, but it’s full of love and laughter. I share simple, real-life sourdough discard recipes online and run a small baking club with other busy parents. My kids are my taste-testers (and sometimes my toughest critics).
The best compliment I ever got? A mom told me her picky eater asked for seconds after trying one of my discard recipes. That means more to me than any fancy award. If you’re juggling life and just want to make the most of your sourdough starter without stress, I’m right there with you.
Sarah is a fictional character, but she represents every mom, caregiver, and family member looking for comforting, doable ways to use sourdough discard. Her story is built from real experiences shared by many—and maybe yours too.
