Who's here for the protein-packed meals that not only nourish, but taste GREAT too. Who's also fallen in love with cottage cheese as a result? Yep, me too. And that's why this recipe is so perfect. Protein (plus creaminess and so much great flavor) from my favorite cottage cheese, nourishing fat from the best olive [...]

Who is here for the easy button, set it and forget it dinners? Who is also here for meals that are DELICIOUS? Good, me too. And that's why this recipe is so perfect. I use the stew meat, beef brisket, and roast from Wild Pastures, and it's been SUCH a hit (kids included) every time. [...]

As requested (a lot) after posting this quick how-to on Instagram, here is my latest go-to breakfast to start my day with a whole bunch of satiating, energy-giving, nutrient-dense protein. And it's all thanks to cottage cheese. With the demands of breastfeeding, motherhood, fitness, work, and adventure, I've been very intentionally consuming LOTS of protein [...]

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 [...]

Favorite family games!

We're in the heart of winter, and while we still prioritize getting outside, I love a good family game afternoon on a stormy day (and year-round really). And family game time is a big hit around here. And I am here for it. Learning. Problem-solving. Belly laughs. Quality time together. I swear I can see [...]

We've been traveling A LOT this summer, and that, on top of constant local adventures too, has created a need for something to give Evie space to rest her body, entertain during long trips, and find space to let her mind grow while getting some downtime. Enter podcasts for kiddos (that are enjoyable for grownups [...]

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. [...]

pure water: why we love our Berkey

Hi there! It's time share all things water filtration and why we chose Berkey for our family. We've been using it for about a month now, and two things are very clear: the water tastes AMAZING and we're drinking way more of it (two wins right off the bat). I figured, I'd start with some [...]
