Fall is here, Thanksgiving is around the corner, and I am one happy lady. I love this time of year. For the falling leaves, the crisp air, my favorite seasonal produce, and all things pumpkin.

A good friend of ours is also a commercial fisherman, and he is very good at what he does. He's also an awesome human and member at our CrossFit gym. He surprised Rusty and me this past week with a shoebox filled with fresh-caught Dungeness crab. Have I mentioned one of my love languages is food? Anyways, [...]

the best blackberry cobbler

By | 2015-08-31T09:03:49-08:00 August 29th, 2015|A Little Sweet Tooth, Health, Recipes, The Mind|

Since moving to the Pacific Northwest, we've had the opportunity to pick and enjoy some of the best berries I've ever had, right in our own neighborhood and sometimes, right outside our door. Blackberries are especially prevalent right now, and we've truly enjoyed the abundance. The bounty of berries has been my inspiration for all kinds [...]

raw probiotic lemon berry “cheese” cakes

By | 2015-07-08T09:33:33-08:00 June 29th, 2015|A Little Sweet Tooth, Recipes|

I am clearly on a summer dessert kick right now. Maybe it's because the weather has been absolutely gorgeous for the past two weeks. Because of the weather and the season and my general proclivity for being outdoors, we've been spending most days outside. I've even got a work station set up on our back porch. [...]

Memorial Day is here, which means that summer is coming, and I am a happy camper. Sunshine, summertime, huge changes coming our way, and a WHOLE new crop of amazing fruit at farmers market. Nothing says summer like fresh blueberries, bursting with flavor, or biting into a sweet, juicy peach. These two fruits are a [...]

arugula, sweet potato, and wild rice salad

Wait for it.... I used to be a vegetarian. Breath. Hard to believe right? Now that I am the one nibbling on beef liver, adding bacon to everything, and loving myself some rare grass fed steak, it's hard to imagine there was a time when I wouldn't touch meat. I thought I was being as [...]

the perfect sweet potato fries

Almost every person who has switched over to a paleo diet has attempted homemade sweet potato "fries" with the anticipation of recreating the crispy, oily, salty goodness that so many restaurants have recently started offering on their menus. After valuable time spent in the kitchen, these folks will open the oven, grab a fry, and take [...]
