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 jalapeƱo 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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
We've had a round roast from our friends at Wild PasturesĀ 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 [...]
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 [...]
This is another fun unexpected creation in an effort to simplify life. I love sharing these ones with you because I know life is full, but nourishment and flavor shouldn't need to be pushed aside. I was going to make a batch of my hummus, but short on time (and craving a crunch), I decided [...]
