sourdough stuffing focaccia

If you've been here long, you know we LOVE sourdough. And as the holidays roll around that love turns into full-on obsession. Find me in my kitchen looking for all the ways to make fermentation extra festive. And this way might just be my favorite yet. I’ve never been a stuffing fan, but with this [...]

sourdough maple bacon donuts

DONUTS!!! I don't know about you, but I haven't enjoyed one in a long time (until now, that is). Frankly, the way I feel after eating regular gluten fried in crappy (ya, I said it) oils just isn't worth it. But everything's changed now that we've made our own sourdough, avocado oil or lard-fried donuts [...]

chewy chocolate chip cookies

By | 2023-02-27T05:48:08-08:00 February 26th, 2023|A Little Sweet Tooth, Health, Nutrition, Recipes|

I've had a serious every single day hankering for chocolate chip cookies. But not just any cookies, the kind that are warm, chewy, a little bit salty, perfectly sweet, and best over ice cream. Are you drooling yet? And after lots of cookie-making in our house the past month, I've finally done it. Inspired by [...]

We returned from a super fun summer trip to Central Oregon with a bag of brioche buns from one of our favorite spots, Sparrow Bakery. And I knew exactly what we'd use them for (see our favorite stops here). We also returned with delicious turmeric jalapeño kraut from our friends Jake and Kali, gifted during [...]

Our garden is booming this year! And I am having fun finding way to put the fruits (and veggies) of our labor to good use. Evie is having so much fun helping her dad and me in the garden, and I love seeing her pick produce straight from the ground to eat right then and [...]

Creamy lemon and thyme dressing

By | 2022-07-15T08:20:26-08:00 July 12th, 2022|A Little Sweet Tooth, Health, Nutrition, Recipes|

This recipe was a happy accident on our recent family vacation to a beach house down in California. I was on salad duty for our family's Fourth of July bbq, and we had leftover sour cream from sourdough tortilla tacos the evening before. I had some apricots and arugula, and I knew I wanted lemon [...]

Evie’s sourdough chocolate cake

I am so excited to share one of my most special recipes to date with you. Our big girl turned five (and now 6 as I'm updating this recipe) this week, and she asked for a chocolate cake. And considering food made with care is one of my top love languages, I was so excited [...]

I am so excited to share this very special recipe with you. We love to create special traditions in our family, especially ones that celebrate nature in all its glory, and even more so ones that coincide with cycles and transitions, like the solstices, equinoxes, and the MOON! We were visiting some dear friends in [...]

brussel sprouts and goat cheese pizza

If you've been here long, you know we have a Sunday family sourdough pizza ritual that we love. Every Sunday, after a day of outdoor adventure (usually with a sourdough sandwich picnic, of course), we come home to family time and a sourdough pizza dinner. I've grown to cherish this ritual so very much. I [...]

slow cooked simple spare ribs

By | 2022-05-10T06:19:45-08:00 May 10th, 2022|Health, Nutrition, Pastured Meat, Recipes|

We got a package of spare ribs from our friends at Butcher Box and I couldn't wait to get to work making them fall off the bone delicious. My goal these days is to keep things in the kitchen simple, but I never want to sacrifice flavor or nutrition. That said, these took moments of [...]
