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 [...]
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 [...]
Spring is here! And as the weather gets warmer, and we move closer to summer solstice, we start getting extra excited for fresh berries! We've got a whole bunch of strawberry plants getting going, but in the meantime, I found a sweet deal on organic strawberries at our local market. So with a beautiful spring [...]

I am breastfeeding sweet Indie a lot, and with that comes some serious hunger. I've been enjoying an afternoon sweet, but especially in this recovery period, [...]
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 [...]
Sundays are for outdoor adventures, and lately, for baking too! Yesterday we spent most of the day at Lake Crescent, hiking, splashing, and soaking in the sun at what is likely the most beautiful lake I've ever been to. We are so damn grateful that it's just a 20 minute drive from our new home. [...]
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 [...]
The holidays are upon us, and I would like to take some time to THANK YOU. Thank you for reading. Thank you for caring, sharing, and exploring new ideas, new recipes, and new ways to nourish yourself, the earth, and the ones you love. Because to nourish is to L O V E. This has [...]
We celebrated Evie's first birthday yesterday with 30+ friends in the sunshine under the same big oak tree where we celebrated her coming birth just over a year ago. It was a magical day filled with great food, delicious wine, lots of laughter, kiddo rough housing, tree climbing, and so much tribe time. Our hearts are [...]
