My daily bread... Whew! ☀️ Well... for everyone who's been wishing for summer to finally show up, I'd say your wish has officially been granted! We are right in the heart of July, and Mother Nature has turned up the thermostat. If you're loving every minute of this heat wave, this is your season! As for me, you'll find me tucked into the nearest patch of shade with an iced coffee in hand, cheering you on from there. One thing this heat wave has definitely done is change what everyone is...

My daily bread... Well, here we are… practically smack dab in the middle of July, and it looks like summer has officially decided to show off a little. We’ve got a hot week ahead of us, with temperatures hanging out in the high 20s and a few good old Alberta thunderstorms likely rolling through along the way. Honestly, it feels like the perfect week to slow things down a little. Grab a picnic basket, load it up with a couple of wraps, a salad or two, and maybe something sweet from the pastry...

My daily bread... Happy belated Canada Day! I hope everyone had a chance to slow down a little, spend time with family and friends, and enjoy everything that makes this country such a wonderful place to call home. My personal contribution to the festivities. I woke up just in time to hear the fireworks... and decided that counted. 😊 Rise has been quiet this past week while we took a little break, and I have to say, it was exactly what I needed. It was a week filled with extra sleep, the...

My daily bread... Welcome to the final week of June at RISE Bakehouse! We've had a wonderful wave of new faces discovering the bakery lately, and if you're one of them, we're so glad you're here.

My daily bread... Well, Mother Nature certainly can't seem to make up her mind this June! One minute we're enjoying beautiful sunshine on the patio, and the next we're watching the rain come down in buckets. Thankfully, this weekend gave us a wonderful little break, with plenty of sunshine and some much-appreciated patio weather. I hope you had a chance to get outside, soak up a little vitamin D, and enjoy a beautiful weekend. As we head into another week, it looks like we'll continue our...

My daily bread... Happy Sunday everyone, I hope you had an amazing weekend! Mine was a bit of a whirlwind - but the best kind. As Rise continues to grow, it was time for a little kitchen shuffle. More people in the kitchen means we needed more workspace, so there was some rearranging of more tables, and finding new ways to make everything fit. It's a wonderful problem to have, and I couldn't be more grateful.💛 Saturday was a quick supply run to Edmonton. There is something special about...

My daily bread... Happy Sunday, everyone! Tomorrow marks the first day of June, and after a stretch of hot weather, it feels like Mother Nature has decided to give us a little breather. As I write this, the rain is falling, the wind is howling outside, and the forecast is calling for a cooler, cloudier week ahead before things warm back up again for next weekend. On Saturday, I made my first trip of the season to our outdoor Farmers' Market. It's still early in the season, so many of the...

My daily bread... Well… it finally happened. Patio Season has officially arrived at Rise. I rounded the corner at 3am on Friday morning and there it was. The patio had shown up sometime in the middle of the night, and I honestly could not wipe the smile off my face.We hauled out every table and stool we could find, pieced it together as fast as possible, and hoped for the best. And you know what? You all took to it immediately. Pizza Friday, the patio was full of people soaking up the...

My daily bread... How on earth is it already May long weekend?I had the extra day this weekend, and somehow here I am on a Monday afternoon racing to get this newsletter written before heading over to my family’s place for a bbq steak early dinner. Don’t worry - bread is proofing as I write, all is well. We’ve got two different loaves happening tomorrow and with it being a short week, do take a peek at the sourdough schedule because there are a few changes. So this week’s update is going to...
