By | 2018-06-24T09:49:14-08:00 June 24th, 2018|A Little Sweet Tooth, Health, Recipes|

We celebrated Evie's first birthday yesterday with 30+ friends in the sunshine under the same big oak tree where we celebrated her coming birth just over a year ago. It was a magical day filled with great food, delicious wine, lots of laughter, kiddo rough housing, tree climbing, and so much tribe time. Our hearts are [...]

By | 2018-06-25T07:22:08-08:00 May 11th, 2018|Recipes, Rice, Biscuits, Tortillas, and Mash|

This is an extra special post for a few reasons: Reason 1: My husband created this recipe from scratch with love (even low carb), inspired by our evenings alone together after babe goes down shamelessly addicted to The Great British Baking Show. Reason 2: One of my favorite humans was in town visiting all the way [...]

coconut tahini stir fry

*Note: this is an old recipe that I decided to revamp because we've fallen deeply in love with this one all over again this past week. Dinner done in less than 20 and flavor that is to DIE for. My husband keeps asking for it, and I keep using the coconut tahini sauce on E [...]

crispy skin broiled wild salmon

By | 2021-08-15T18:40:46-08:00 September 30th, 2017|Marinades and Sauces, Pastured Meat, Recipes|

This recipe has been a LONG time in the making. If you've been following along for long, you've seen countless salmon posts on Instagram. I go through weeks (especially during my second trimester), where I eat salmon every single day, and the crispier the skin, the happier this mama. The reality of my salmon escapades, [...]

grilled watermelon salad

Last weekend my wonderful mother-in-law came to visit and brought us a gorgeous watermelon grown old world style by an 80-year-old man in Paso Robles, California where she lives. I knew I had to do something special with it, so I put this mama brain to use brainstorming ideas. Then, as I was scrolling through [...]

This year is off to a crazy, albeit awesome, start, and I am taking my clean eating with me. Busy days are no excuse to let food quality go to the wayside. In fact, the busier life gets, the more important it is to eat nutrient dense foods because they keep energy levels high, mood [...]

So, the word is out. I am pregnant. And we are THRILLED! Read more on how cool this is here. I have to admit, though, that the first 4 months of this pregnancy were some of the toughest of my life. I was very sick... All. The. Time. The fact that morning sickness starts with [...]
