The began as a wish to create some food traditions around the New Year. I did some reading and research (with much more to do to truly understand the cultural root of these traditions and celebrations), and discovered that in many cultures, pork is a traditional centerpiece on New Years day to promote luck and [...]
We're going on two years of enjoying this bake as a very special Christmas Eve brunch. That said, it's great all season long, and we've had it many times as a new family favorite dinner too. Moist sourdough starter cornbread, local sausage, and best flavors of the season all in one, this stuffing is sure [...]
This recipe was born from this year's magical snowy Winter Solstice. We got an unexpected snow, leading us to drop everything and head out to the mouth of the Olympic National park for an afternoon of snow play under the trees with no one else in sight. We came home happily exhausted and chilly with [...]
Anyone else out there not convert to a brussels lover until adulthood? I was not into them as a kid. Maybe it was the way my mom hated them because of the way her mom boiled them (sorry, Grandy, but ew). Once I discovered the magic of a good quality fat, salt, flavor, and a [...]
You know what goes best with chili? You likely guessed it, CORNBREAD. You know what makes cornbread extra delicious? Yep, sourdough starter. This new recipe is our current family favorite, born from an easy button dinner night of my chunky pumpkin chili and last minute cornbread. I needed to discard to start a fresh loaf [...]

We've been having fun getting creative, turning the same staples into unique meals throughout the week. Take for instance, grass-fed ground beef; shift up the spices, the [...]
There is something about homemade pizza night in, paired with a good movie and extra quality family time, that brings a unique kind of joy. Since Willow (our sourdough starter) has become an important part of our lives, providing with sourdough bread, Evie's sourdough pancakes, and the many other recipes in my Sourdough Sisterhood Recipe [...]
I love hummus. A lot. On sourdough. As a salad topper. With cheese and prosciutto. For beef stick sipping. Shoot, even just with a spoon. (Note: these pair GREAT with pink pickled onions on everything). I decided it was time to make some myself, and wow am I glad I did. It's delicious, WAY more [...]
This one makes me think of my pink-loving little one, and because of that, it will always make me smile. You should've seen her face when I showed her the jar of bright pink pickled onions for the first time. Instant light. Instant Smile, and a big giant "PIIINK!". Who couldn't use a little more [...]
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 [...]
