Meet Julie from Au Julie

Enjoying the beauty and blessing of healthy, natural food one recipe at a time.

Hi, I’m Julie! I am a homeschooling mom of 5, and I am passionate about cooking healthy meals from scratch. I enjoy making delicious meals for my family, and it isn’t unusual for us to have a large, elaborate meal on any given weeknight.

About 9 years ago, I read about the benefits of sourdough breads vs commercial yeast breads, so I decided to try my hand at making my own sourdough starter. I had many failures along the way, but I have learned valuable information about how to bake with sourdough with very little time investment and a high success rate.

When I’m not in the kitchen, I love to be outside in nature. Our family enjoys trips to the mountains and the ocean. We love hiking, kayaking, and just playing outside, whether its splashing in a river or sledding down a snowy hill.

I love growing my own food in my garden and taking care of my backyard chickens. I am a health nut, and I always try to find the healthiest way to make food for my family. I love to find the healthiest, tastiest way to make every recipe!
