In 2019, I found myself at a crossroads. I weighed 220 pounds and was battling chronic kidney disease, high cholesterol, and a host of other health issues that were slowly taking over my life. One morning, I woke up, looked in the mirror, and realized I couldn’t keep going down this path. I knew something had to change.

So, I made the decision to change my life, not through restriction or fad diets, but through the simple, beautiful act of baking. I began with my sourdough starter, Sondra—a bubbly little creation that would go on to become the heart of my transformation. I slowly cut out white sugar and started baking with real, wholesome ingredients. And as the weeks and months passed, I lost 80 pounds, gained back my health, and rediscovered a passion for life I hadn’t felt in years.

Through this journey, I realized something profound: I could enjoy the foods I love—pizza, pasta, bread—every day, and still live a healthy, balanced life. Sourdough became my cornerstone, not just for weight loss but for healing and nourishment. It wasn’t just about the bread—it was about the power of real, whole food to heal the body, mind, and spirit.

In September of 2023, I decided it was time to share my passion with the world. Bake Love to Me was born out of my desire to bring wholesome, nutrient-dense foods to the world. What started as a dream in my parents kitchen has transformed into the culinary lessons you are sure to enjoy and growing into the household name Bake Love to Me is destined to become. My mission  in life is to change the way we think about food—starting with fresh, local, and lovingly crafted breads, fruits, vegetables, and more. My dream is to end food insecurity by offering nourishing foods that don’t come from a can, and to take this message global, one loaf at a time.

I believe in my services and products because they gave me my life back, and I know they can do the same for others. Each loaf of sourdough, every bite of pizza or pasta, is a symbol of how powerful good food can be.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. Together, we can spread the love—one loaf, one bite, and one community at a time.

With love,
