Lise in her kitchen preparing bread

Well, hello there!

I'm Lise — mom to five amazing humans, granny to six sweet littles (and counting!), and the hands behind Blessed by Bread. When I'm not elbow-deep in flour, you'll find me savoring a rich espresso with my Bible, writing children’s books, gazing at the stars, or curled up by the fire on chilly winter nights with hot chocolate and a good movie.

My love for baking runs deep — there's something magical about transforming simple ingredients into nourishing loaves. Maybe it's the way bread brings people together, or how the rhythm of baking mirrors life's beautiful messiness. Either way, I believe every loaf should tell a story — of patience, care, and God's goodness in the everyday.

Want to taste the difference? I'd love to share my bread with you. And if you ever want to swap photos of kids or grandkids, I'd love to see them!
