toddler approved crispy pulled pork

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, [...]

finger lickin’ good crispy roasted chicken

*old post, but updated recipe - it was fun reading this back from 3+ years ago, pre-babe, pre-huge life changes, but still pretty dang happy and enjoying the outdoors* What a Sunday we had yesterday! Nothing makes me happier than getting outside to play and explore in nature with my friends, family, and pups. And [...]

These chops are V E R Y special. They were the centerpiece we made for our sweet Evie's first birthday. this year has been one that I will never ever forget. I know people say that a lot, but I mean it. I really do. It didn't flash by like a blink of an eye. [...]

coconut tahini stir fry

By | 2018-01-14T17:27:28-08:00 January 11th, 2018|Health, Marinades and Sauces, Pastured Meat, Recipes|

*Note: this is an old recipe that I decided to revamp because we've fallen deeply in love with this one all over again this past week. Dinner done in less than 20 and flavor that is to DIE for. My husband keeps asking for it, and I keep using the coconut tahini sauce on E [...]

crispy skin broiled wild salmon

By | 2021-08-15T18:40:46-08:00 September 30th, 2017|Marinades and Sauces, Pastured Meat, Recipes|

This recipe has been a LONG time in the making. If you've been following along for long, you've seen countless salmon posts on Instagram. I go through weeks (especially during my second trimester), where I eat salmon every single day, and the crispier the skin, the happier this mama. The reality of my salmon escapades, [...]

paleo pineapple pulled pork

Cravings. Let's talk about them. ALL I WANT IS PORK (and salmon, always salmon). A couple weeks ago, my husband and I were in San Jose and stopped into the new Whole Foods. They had a whole glorious "paleo bar" and right smack in the middle was the most delicious smelling pork ever. Falling apart. [...]

So, the word is out. I am pregnant. And we are THRILLED! Read more on how cool this is here. I have to admit, though, that the first 4 months of this pregnancy were some of the toughest of my life. I was very sick... All. The. Time. The fact that morning sickness starts with [...]

lemony garlic grilled chicken breast

By | 2022-07-25T10:45:01-08:00 August 5th, 2016|Health, Marinades and Sauces, Pastured Meat, Recipes|

Summer is in full swing (I cannot believe we are in August. When did that happen?), and somehow I magically learned how to grill. It's always been something I just left to Rusty (no, not because he's a guy, but just because I had never done it and he had), but I got the urge [...]
