Meet Tina from Stretch and Folds

Hi! I'm Tina. Welcome to Stretch and Folds!

After having my first child, I started spending more time at home (especially in the kitchen!) and I never expected to love it this much. What started as a way to feed my family turned into a full-blown obsession with sourdough, scratch cooking, and making homemaking feel simple (or at least doable).

If you want to see what I'm cooking up day-to-day, subscribe to my YouTube channel! I post new videos every Friday, mostly about cooking (with lots of sourdough baking!), homemaking, how being a mother with an online business looks like...and share all my passions in hopes we can connect. I'm also most responsive there, so leave a comment to say hi!

This Is Where Your Sourdough Story Starts

As a busy mom, I know how challenging it can be to balance everything. That's why when it comes from cooking from scratch, I focus on practical, no-nonsense recipes and tips that can fit into busy schedules.

Some fun facts about me:

  • I love traditional European recipes, and you'll see plenty of them on my blog and YouTube channel, Stretch and Folds. 
  • If I can put sourdough in something, I will-pancakes, cookies, crackers, anything. 
  • I was a competitive skier in primary school and even won a national championship a few times. Now my biggest race is getting dinner on the table before the kids get too hungry.
  • I have a Master's in Law and passed the bar exam.
  • As a European, I firmly believe bread goes with everything. There's a stereotype that we eat bread with bread, and it's absolutely true. 

Whether it's baking bread, cooking from scratch, or making sure our house is clean without using harsh chemicals, I believe these goals can be achieved if we go slowly and add one thing at a time. And I'll help you with that as much as I possibly can!
