This is our go-to soup all winter season long. It's nourishing, soul-warming, and so delicious. And it's also about as easy as it gets. One pot. All the flavor. Whole family approved. So here you go, a delicious soup that will satisfy, fuel your adventure, and leave you feeling content and fulfilled too, knowing you [...]
We enjoyed a delicious autumn-inspired pizza made by our friends at Ulivo Pizza (an awesome local sourdough authentic Italian pizza truck) last weekend, and it was so good that I was inspired to immediately try my own version. I love how food and flavor can be so inspiring and the many ways that we can [...]
Liver is a superfood; yep, I said it. One of our favorite things to get from US Wellness Meats is their pasture-raised chicken livers. When our last delivery arrived, I went to work making this delicious, herbaceous, buttery liver pâté. Not only is it delicious, but it's also a super nourishing food for the whole [...]

Nothing makes me happier than getting outside to play and explore in nature with my friends, family, and pups. And [...]

Knowing what I do about nutrition and how what I eat directly impacts my little one through breastmilk, [...]
I frequently discuss the importance of real/whole food as the source for all of the nutrients we need to heal, perform, and thrive. But one of the issues many people seem to face when it comes to getting all the needed nutrients is that it can be daunting to eat a giant bowl of greens or [...]
*Scroll to the bottom for a crazy good deal! Yep, a shortcut... That's right; I said it. And this is coming from a girl who has never been an advocate for any sort of quick fix pill or supplement, and who has always said (and will keep on saying) that a real food approach is [...]
*Note: the recipe part of this post was updated December 2018 to what we use today. I like to edit recipes as they're perfected and used most frequently for our family* Original writing commence (circa 2015): The reality (and one of the intentions) of our big move out of the Bay Area and to the [...]
