creamy hot cocoa

By | 2022-11-09T06:20:41-08:00 December 22nd, 2020|A Little Sweet Tooth, Health, Nutrition, Recipes|

This recipe was born from this year's magical snowy Winter Solstice. We got an unexpected snow, leading us to drop everything and head out to the mouth of the Olympic National park for an afternoon of snow play under the trees with no one else in sight. We came home happily exhausted and chilly with [...]

balsamic roasted brussels

Anyone else out there not convert to a brussels lover until adulthood? I was not into them as a kid. Maybe it was the way my mom hated them because of the way her mom boiled them (sorry, Grandy, but ew). Once I discovered the magic of a good quality fat, salt, flavor, and a [...]

You know what goes best with chili? You likely guessed it, CORNBREAD. You know what makes cornbread extra delicious? Yep, sourdough starter. This new recipe is our current family favorite, born from an easy button dinner night of my chunky pumpkin chili and last minute cornbread. I needed to discard to start a fresh loaf [...]

easy any night taco bowls

Anyone else feeling the need to spice up dinners lately? Sheltering at home means a lot of meals in and a lot family feeding that needs to happen. We've been having fun getting creative, turning the same staples into unique meals throughout the week. Take for instance, grass-fed ground beef; shift up the spices, the [...]

Sourdough Pizza

There is something about homemade pizza night in, paired with a good movie and extra quality family time, that brings a unique kind of joy. Since Willow (our sourdough starter) has become an important part of our lives, providing with sourdough bread, Evie's sourdough pancakes, and the many other recipes in my Sourdough Sisterhood Recipe [...]

homemade hummus

By | 2023-08-31T12:57:34-08:00 March 30th, 2020|Health, Nutrition, Recipes, Soups, Salads, Sides|

I love hummus. A lot. On sourdough. As a salad topper. With cheese and prosciutto. For beef stick sipping. Shoot, even just with a spoon. (Note: these pair GREAT with pink pickled onions on everything). I decided it was time to make some myself, and wow am I glad I did. It's delicious, WAY more [...]

Pink Pickled Onions

By | 2024-05-17T04:44:35-08:00 March 23rd, 2020|Health, Nutrition, Recipes, Soups, Salads, Sides|

This one makes me think of my pink-loving little one, and because of that, it will always make me smile. You should've seen her face when I showed her the jar of bright pink pickled onions for the first time. Instant light. Instant Smile, and a big giant "PIIINK!". Who couldn't use a little more [...]

pure water: why we love our Berkey

By | 2020-03-09T13:54:45-08:00 March 9th, 2020|Health, Motherhood|

Hi there! It's time share all things water filtration and why we chose Berkey for our family. We've been using it for about a month now, and two things are very clear: the water tastes AMAZING and we're drinking way more of it (two wins right off the bat). I figured, I'd start with some [...]

Grain Free Savory Scones

By | 2020-02-04T09:51:19-08:00 January 27th, 2020|Breakfast, Health, Nutrition, Recipes, Rice, Biscuits, Tortillas, and Mash|

Savory scone anyone? Cheesy, salty, prosciutto filled grain free scones, to be exact. I never thought I'd see the day that I'd taste a truly kick ass and also grain free scone. But that day has come, and it's thanks to Otto's Cassava flour. I love this flour, friends. I use it in my final [...]
