spicy yogurt sauce

We've been loving a little more spice in our weekly dinner lineup, from tacos and taco bowls to big ol' balanced bowls (see my highlight over on IG for more on those). And our favorite way to enjoy that hit of spice is with this spicy sriracha yogurt sauce, born from a pre-travel week where [...]

easy curry bowls

This has quickly become Rusty's favorite weeknight meal, and I'm right on board. With a little prep ahead and the ease of using a quality curry sauce from a jar, it also makes getting dinner on the table so easy, especially on the crazier days when time seems to fly. It's also absolutely delicious, beautifully [...]

Favorite family games!

We're in the heart of winter, and while we still prioritize getting outside, I love a good family game afternoon on a stormy day (and year-round really). And family game time is a big hit around here. And I am here for it. Learning. Problem-solving. Belly laughs. Quality time together. I swear I can see [...]

honey lemon tahini dressing

There's something about tahini that I just love. Who's with me? Tahini is a paste of crushed sesame seeds that is widely used in Middle Eastern cooking (and in our kitchen). It's versatile, flavor-packed, and makes such a great base for all kinds of dressings, sauces, and even baked goods. YUM. See our favorite homemade [...]

creamy balsamic dressing

Something about the fall into winter season has me craving arugula salads with warm roasted squash and winter fruit (persimmons, pomegranate, or apple) filled salads with goat cheese, avocado, and leftover roasted chicken. YUM. See my favorite autumn-inspired salad HERE. I never host a holiday dinner without a salad. It's nice to have something fresh [...]

We enjoyed a delicious autumn-inspired pizza made by our friends at Ulivo Pizza (an awesome local sourdough authentic Italian pizza truck) last weekend, and it was so good that I was inspired to immediately try my own version. I love how food and flavor can be so inspiring and the many ways that we can [...]

We love campfires, we love chocolate, we love homemade mallows, and now more than ever before, we love graham crackers... sourdough graham crackers, to be exact. We celebrated the Fall Equinox with a big backyard bonfire (as we do every seasonal transition), and I decided to take this one up a notch with homemade graham [...]

herb butter pâté

Liver is a superfood; yep, I said it. One of our favorite things to get from US Wellness Meats is their pasture-raised chicken livers. When our last delivery arrived, I went to work making this delicious, herbaceous, buttery liver pâté. Not only is it delicious, but it's also a super nourishing food for the whole [...]
