About Linda Toupin:
Linda was raised on a dairy farm in southeastern Kentucky where she developed a strong work ethic and sense of personal responsibility. These, along with a "milking the cows" mentality (it didn't matter if you were tired, in a bad mood or a relative had just died, the cows still had to be milked) created strong mental health habits and a solid sense of purpose. Linda went from milking cows to waiting tables as she worked her way through college where she earned her Undergraduate and Graduate degrees in Home Economics and Secondary Education. She taught in the public school system for ten years. During that time, she started her own in-home business and, over the next 38 years, built a multi-million dollar sales organization both nationally and internationally. Linda has trained tens of thousands of businesswomen around the globe in life and business skills. She is the mother of two and grandmother of two.

Oh my gosh. There is an alternative to bread & fat. Amazing & yet so simple. Everyone needs to tell a woman so the whole world knows about this. Thank you for sharing!!!

Thanks for always having great information to share! Just a suggestion… would love to hear how to start making fermented food. Thanks so much 😃

[moniquesmarathoners]

I am so excited to start this!!!! This was a great series and my daughters are all baking like this too. I do not see the link for the supplies such as the bowl and the bread. Scraper.

My first episode and what a great one! I’ve been thinking about making sourdough bread and have been intimidated- ready to tackle it now! Thank you ladies!!!

[sandiedevlieger]

[sarahearnhardt]

I had to catch up but I'm so excited for this year

[starchick]

Fabulous! I just bought 2lbs of einkorn flour at our local health food store intending to make starter with it 😊

[melaniejones]

Great content!!
I have been doing sourdough for three years, interested in getting some Ein corn flour!

[marym.ippolito]

Linda- was there a list of what items to buy? The cute bowl?

[jessicapope]

Thank you Linda, Leah and Jenny! This was so informative and beneficial to watch. I'm curious... What's the texture of a completed sourdough loaf? Is it chewy, dense and sticky? Or is it similar to a standard flour sourdough?

[tinabrown]

Would you use an electric mixer to mix the dough, using a dough hook?

[annmcgowan]

Curtis was great on zoom the other night

[callyhein]

oh goodness, I LOOOOVE baking, but struggle with successful Gluten Free baking and cooking for winning in both taste and texture (for myself and my family)!! while maintaining healthy eating. :O oh gosh--- did Linda just say she'll slap someone who says that they're "too busy"!! .... we all have choices for how to utilize the same 168 hours in each week :)

I started cooking 7 years ago at age 62! I wanted to eat cleaner and did not want to micromanage my husband. I've been trying to eat spelt flour. can this kind of flour be purchased in already baked bread?
