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 [...]

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 [...]

simple juicy round roast

We've had a round roast from our friends at Wild Pastures sitting in the freezer for a few weeks now. To be honest, I had no idea what to do with it. But after asking some friends, doing a little light reading, and turning on the creative juices, I got over my hesitation, and put that [...]

 We're on an Italian kick over here, and this one is GOOD. It's one of those recipes that I threw together in a super creative mood, Indie on my chest and a glass of Oso Pardo Viura in hand (my new favorite white), that turned out better than I even expected. When that happens, I [...]

Italian sausage and polenta skillet

By | 2022-03-01T15:14:02-08:00 March 1st, 2022|Health, Marinades and Sauces, Nutrition, Pastured Meat, Recipes|

I've been feeling way more creative in the kitchen lately, and while I love our staples, it's also fun to try new flavors and ingredients. My dad used to make polenta all the time when we were kids, so this one is nostalgic for me. This polenta skillet isn't just delicious, flavorful, and nourishing, it's [...]

'Tis the season! For delicious holiday recipes, for joy, for gathering with the people we love, for sharing that love through nourishing meals. In full transparency, I've never been a holiday ham person. That is, until now. This ham is a game changer. We love our deliveries from Wild Pastures and they’ve always got the [...]

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. [...]

toddler approved crispy pulled pork

By | 2024-01-27T06:37:05-08:00 November 16th, 2018|Health, Pastured Meat, Recipes|

I get asked all the time about Evie's first foods journey and what she eats now as a toddler (woah, when did that happen?). The reality is that she eats what WE eat (most of the time), and it's been that way from the start. Doing more of a baby-led weaning approach (our own version, [...]
