Welcome to Rooted Deep Home – Simple, Delicious, and Wholesome Recipes for Every Family
Hi, I’m Alicia.
Blessings friends. I’m a homemaker, wife of my best beloved, mom of five, and a humble home cook by necessity. For the past 10 years, I’ve been cooking from scratch for my family of seven—creating simple and nourishing meals and desserts that bring comfort and joy to our table. You can find easy and delicious family-friendly recipes here, and I hope they will, in some small measure, bless your day today.
Why This Blog?
Rooted Deep Home is all about family-friendly recipes that are simple, affordable, and full of flavor. I specialize in sourdough bread, sourdough discard recipes, and comforting meals that are perfect for families with a bustling hearth, just like mine.
With over a decade of daily cooking, baking, and 5 years of sourdough experience, I’ve come a long way on my journey to build cooking and kitchen skills. In the early years of my marriage, things didn’t always go as smoothly as they do now! So let me encourage you fellow homemakers—if you are just beginning to cultivate these skills, don’t lose heart, the knowledge and practical skills come with time and practice. It gets easier, I promise.
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9
Every recipe you’ll find here has been tested in my own kitchen—often more than once. I take time to rework and improve recipes based on reader feedback. I encourage your comments and critiques! After baking hundreds of loaves over the years, I know that little details matter, and I’m always refining to make sure you get consistent, delicious results.
As I continue to learn and grow in the kitchen, I update my recipes to reflect my discoveries and interests. This blog is the place where I share the beloved recipes that grace our family table. If we love them, we share them!
A Little About Me.
I didn’t always love cooking, but over time, I’ve grown to love creating wholesome meals from scratch because it does my heart good to see my husband and children with satisfied bellies and smiles on their faces. But truth be told, I think I should have been born in Jane Austen’s era, furnished with a kitchen maid/cook, and a housekeeper. I’d like to devote my time to being governess, aka homeschool momma. It’s so fun teach my sweet little ones and to learn alongside them. But alas! We modern mothers must wear many hats, and so let us go forward with fortitude to do ALL of our duties as unto the Lord.
