COMMUNITY FRIENDSHIP LOAVES (CFL). **Food Access Donations** The CFL is our spin on the @artisangraincollab 's "Neighbor Loaves" initiative, which we heard about awhile back from @chimacumgrain . We took the concept to heart. And, with our Community's support, we managed to donate just over 1,000 loaves of freshly baked bread in 2025 via this initiative alone. It just makes good sense for us, as Community both focuses, and is the natural outcome of our Craft. It provides Connection, and endless avenues of us to be of Service; to quietly practice a genuine concern for the wellbeing of others. We developed the CFL to support @thegivingplatebend further its goal of “feeding the hungry with compassion and hospitality”; of helping to foster a sense of Community where everyone feels seen, safe, and cared for. And it’s been a joy to craft dozens of these loaves every other week for the last year to help as we can. This humble Bread delivers a steady sour tang, delicate nose, light crumb, and a delightful thin yet crispy crust. A long fermentation process allows for considerable flavor development, and enhances both digestibility and nutrient availability. This is Bread to break together, for fostering Connection, and sustaining Community. From pressed sandwiches, to thick cut and toasted to accompany soups, stews, or pasta, it delivers with every bite. It’s a joy to share this humble Offering! Visit our website to contribute. And ask your favorite local bakery to offer Neighbor or Community Friendship Loaves to help feed your neighbors, your community. With your support they just might. Love Love, and Share Real Food

French Lentil with Nanna Abby’s Deli-Style Rye for Week 8 (Feb 27th) of our Winter Soup & Bread CSA! About the soup: Featuring a classic mirepoix of diced carrot, celery, and onion, and seasoned with sage and thyme, our traditional organic French Lentil soup is savory, hearty, and oh so satisfying. French green lentils, also known as Puy lentils (originally from the Le Puy region of France), are small, dark blue-green lentils renowned for their firm texture and peppery, earthy flavor, which shines through in every spoonful. Bon appétit! ~ Barb & Rich, A Broken Angel #abrokenangel #vegan #plantbased #soup #french #Lentil #bread #rye #sourdough #csa #2ndstreet #bendoregon #inbend @mill_fire_baking

🥔 Roasted Poblano Potato with Baladi for Week 7 (Feb 20th) of our Winter Soup & Bread CSA! About the soup: Poblano peppers are large, dark-green peppers native to Puebla, Mexico, prized for their mild heat and smoky flavor. In this deceptively simple soup, roasted poblanos pair beautifully with Yukon Gold potatoes, creating a creamy, comforting dish perfect for winter. Poblano Potato soup was a staple family meal in the multicultural restaurant kitchens of Oklahoma City, where Chef Richard embraced the versatility of the Poblano pepper. Working alongside Latino coworkers from diverse backgrounds, he learned traditional cooking techniques and forged lasting friendships. These experiences enriched both his culinary repertoire and his outlook on life, infusing his New American dishes with a sense of community and tradition. The secret to this soup’s depth of flavor lies in the slow roasting and charring of the poblanos, which intensifies their smoky, sweet notes. Once roasted, the peppers are combined with the potatoes and other ingredients and blended until smooth, resulting in a velvety, satisfying meal. Enjoy! ~ Barb & Rich, A Broken Angel #abrokenangel #vegan #plantbased #soup #poblano #pasilla #potato #bread #baladi #sourdough #anise #charnuska #csa #2ndstreet #bendoregon #inbend @mill_fire_baking

Because a great Deli Sandwich needs exceptional Bread. Bread that holds wondrous cultural, if not psychological import in collective imaginings of community, of peoples, of shared significance. Deli Ryes are particularly interesting in this regard. In truth, the flour was and is almost always largely wheat. Though whispers of nostalgia, of connection were achieved and have been maintained via tweeks, often ingenious, in process and spice usage. The path I follow employs substantial levain, or starter, as well as caraway to mimic rye's often assertive sour tang. The preponderance of wheat allows for an open textured crumb, quite dissimilar to whole rye, though absolutely a home for any Deli sandwich. This is a decidedly American Bread threshed out across generations and geographies, made for Nanna Abby simply because she asked. #bendoregonfood #bendbakery #millyesterdaybaketoday #centraloregonfood #centraloregonbakery

🫘 Black-Eyed Pea Succotash with Roasted Poblano Sourdough for Week 1 of our Winter Soup & Bread CSA! This hearty soup combines two North American traditions: Black-eyed peas for luck and prosperity in the New Year and Succotash, a dish with roots in Native American cuisine. The Southern tradition of eating black-eyed peas on January 1st dates back to the Civil War. Black-eyed peas were overlooked by northern troops as livestock feed, but they became a vital food source for enslaved people, who had originally brought them to the U.S. from West Africa. Over the years, black-eyed peas came to symbolize resilience and emancipation. Eating them on New Year’s Day is now considered to bring good fortune for the year ahead. We can all use some hope in the new year, and we thought black-eyed peas would be a fitting choice for the first soup of the Winter CSA! Succotash is a traditional North American dish rooted in Native American cuisine, often made with corn and lima beans (or other shell beans). Its name comes from the Narragansett word for “broken corn kernels.” Ours features sweet corn and the above-mentioned black-eyed peas, with tomatoes, onions, celery, and poblano peppers for lively texture and color in each spoonful. Enjoy! ~ Barb & Rich, A Broken Angel #abrokenangel #vegan #plantbased #soup #bread #blackeyedpeas #newyear #tradition #succotash #csa #2ndstreet #bendoregon #inbend @mill_fire_baking

🍅 Smoked Tomato Basil Bisque with Whole Grain Focaccia for Week 7 of our Soup & Bread CSA! Tomato soup has been made in North America since at least the mid-1800s. Given the tomato’s popularity, with shiny, bright red and yellow orbs growing in our gardens and featured in global cuisine, it’s interesting to note that it wasn’t always so in favor. Native to South America, tomatoes were wrongly considered poisonous when introduced in Europe by Spanish explorers. That fear spread across the pond to colonial Americans. Although pockets of colonists grew and ate tomatoes, widespread usage came later. Tomato soup recipes showed up in cookbooks from the mid to late 1800s. During the Civil War, tomatoes were found to be ideal for canning and were heavily used to feed Union soldiers. After the war, demand increased, and farmers started to cultivate more varieties. Chef Richard has been making Smoked Tomato Bisque for many years, including as the house soup at his Oklahoma City restaurant, Turquoise American Bistro. At the heart of this soup is the tomato, lovingly smoked over pecan wood. Caramelized onions, basil, and smoked tomatoes are blended to perfection with a touch of almond crème. Garnish with garlic basil crème. Enjoy! ~ Barb & Rich, A Broken Angel #abrokenangel #vegan #plantbased #soup #bread #smoked #tomato #basil #bisque #csa #2ndstreet #bendoregon #inbend @mill_fire_baking

🫛 Split Pea with Rosemary Sourdough for Week 6 of our Soup & Bread CSA! (Photo from December 5th.) The simple and hearty split pea soup is a favorite chilly-weather comfort food. It’s also good for you—packed with protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals. Humans have been drying and making soup from peas for thousands of years. Split peas store well, making them an economical pantry staple for use throughout the winter. Split pea soup has roots in Ancient Greece and Rome, where it was a popular food sold by street vendors (the original food carts!) and fed the military as pultes pisanae. The soup made its way across Europe over the years, with Scandinavian and European countries developing their own traditional versions (like the Swedish Ärtsoppa, made with yellow split peas). Settlers and traders eventually carried the soup to North America, where it evolved again. Our take on the classic soup includes slow-cooked green split peas with onions, sage, and thyme, which naturally meld together into creamy goodness. Enjoy! ~ Barb & Rich, A Broken Angel #abrokenangel #vegan #plantbased #soup #bread #split #pea #csa #2ndstreet #bendoregon #inbend @mill_fire_baking
