By | 2021-11-01T14:30:37-08:00 November 1st, 2021|A Little Sweet Tooth, Recipes|

Still on the theme of craving warming spices (I love the shift to Fall), and carrot cake has been on the mind. Fortunately, the whole family loves carrot cake, including my favorite tiny baker, and so we got to work last weekend creating a moist, delicious, nourishing carrot cake we could all enjoy. We found [...]

There's something extra special about stew this time of year. Stew is nostalgic for me because my mom always used to make it for us when I was a kid. This recipe was a collaborative effort between Rusty and me, with all the flavors of the season and beef stew meat courtesy of Wild Pastures. [...]

homemade chai latte (date sweetened)

By | 2022-09-01T05:53:45-08:00 October 3rd, 2021|Breakfast, Recipes|

There's something about the shift to autumn, that has me wanting all things Chai. And lately, I've been loving swapping my morning boosted coffee for a mushroom chai latte with all the flavor of fall and so much nourishment too. This chai can be made caffeinated or decaf. It's got the benefits of mushrooms thanks [...]

hemp and honey granola

By | 2021-09-25T08:26:23-08:00 September 27th, 2021|Breakfast, Recipes|

I've been craving warming spices, honey, and oats as of late, and I am pretty sure that since I am 24 weeks pregnant, the cravings are coming on even stronger than usual. I woke up this week very specifically wanting Greek yogurt, warm sautéed pears, and granola with the perfect hint of cinnamon, sweet, salt, [...]

super simple slow cooked beans

We've been adding a lot of beans into our meal rotation over here. Beans have gotten a bad rap over the years, but when they're organic and properly prepared, they're actually super nourishing, detoxifying, budget friendly, and delicious! I've found improvement in my digestion since making them a more regular occurrence, and I am here [...]

Rusty's had some unexpected extra days home from his fire season as of late, and he' spent Labor Day morning creating in the kitchen. If you've been following along for long, you know that he's a wizard when it comes to baking, especially breakfast items, and these biscuits are no different. We hope you'll enjoy! [...]

If you've been here long, you know we LOVE all things sourdough, especially creating with sourdough starter. Check out my Sourdough Sisterhood Recipe Book for all sorts of fun starter discard recipes.  It seems like it's a running summer joke that folks are overloaded with zucchini. Sound familiar? Our neighbors gave us the biggest zucchini [...]

juicy grilled pork chops

We've been enjoying pork chops this way for years now, and it's about time I shared this how to here. Rusty is the grill master in our house, but I am learning so I can keep the grill going this summer when he's away fighting wild fires. This perfect pork chop was a team effort. [...]
