By | 2024-02-20T17:05:18-08:00 June 21st, 2022|A Little Sweet Tooth, Health, Nutrition, Recipes|

I am so excited to share one of my most special recipes to date with you. Our big girl turned five (and now 6 as I'm updating this recipe) this week, and she asked for a chocolate cake. And considering food made with care is one of my top love languages, I was so excited [...]

full moon cake!

I am so excited to share this very special recipe with you. We love to create special traditions in our family, especially ones that celebrate nature in all its glory, and even more so ones that coincide with cycles and transitions, like the solstices, equinoxes, and the MOON! We were visiting some dear friends in [...]

brussel sprouts and goat cheese pizza

If you've been here long, you know we have a Sunday family sourdough pizza ritual that we love. Every Sunday, after a day of outdoor adventure (usually with a sourdough sandwich picnic, of course), we come home to family time and a sourdough pizza dinner. I've grown to cherish this ritual so very much. I [...]

slow cooked simple spare ribs

By | 2022-05-10T06:19:45-08:00 May 10th, 2022|Health, Nutrition, Pastured Meat, Recipes|

We got a package of spare ribs from our friends at Butcher Box and I couldn't wait to get to work making them fall off the bone delicious. My goal these days is to keep things in the kitchen simple, but I never want to sacrifice flavor or nutrition. That said, these took moments of [...]

simple juicy round roast

We've had a round roast from our friends at Wild Pastures sitting in the freezer for a few weeks now. To be honest, I had no idea what to do with it. But after asking some friends, doing a little light reading, and turning on the creative juices, I got over my hesitation, and put that [...]

Spring is here! And as the weather gets warmer, and we move closer to summer solstice, we start getting extra excited for fresh berries! We've got a whole bunch of strawberry plants getting going, but in the meantime, I found a sweet deal on organic strawberries at our local market. So with a beautiful spring [...]

crunchy sea salted chickpeas

By | 2022-04-12T06:21:40-08:00 April 12th, 2022|Health, Nutrition, Recipes, Soups, Salads, Sides|

This is another fun unexpected creation in an effort to simplify life. I love sharing these ones with you because I know life is full, but nourishment and flavor shouldn't need to be pushed aside. I was going to make a batch of my hummus, but short on time (and craving a crunch), I decided [...]

honey nut butter drizzle

By | 2022-03-28T06:08:58-08:00 March 29th, 2022|Breakfast, Health, Nutrition, Recipes|

This is another Sunday off-line unexpected recipe creation! Every Sunday, we make either sourdough pancakes or sourdough waffles using the recipe from my Sourdough Sisterhood Recipe book (the waffles get a couple small tweaks: add 2x butter and 2x eggs). This past Sunday, I wanted to top mine with nut butter and banana, but wanted [...]

easy and delicious oatmeal bake

It's oatmeal bake time! Many of you know that we're finding a new rhythm over here as of late. We have a newborn, my husband got a new full-time job, and Evie girl is off to forest school bright and early. All that said, I am enjoying finding ways to simplify our mornings without sacrificing [...]

 We're on an Italian kick over here, and this one is GOOD. It's one of those recipes that I threw together in a super creative mood, Indie on my chest and a glass of Oso Pardo Viura in hand (my new favorite white), that turned out better than I even expected. When that happens, I [...]
