slow cooked simple spare ribs

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 [...]

simple juicy round roast

We've had a round roast from our friends at Wild Pastures 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 [...]

crunchy sea salted chickpeas

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 [...]

honey nut butter drizzle

This is another Sunday off-line unexpected recipe creation! Every Sunday, we make either sourdough pancakes or sourdough waffles using the recipe from my Sourdough Sisterhood Recipe book (the waffles get a couple small tweaks: add 2x butter and 2x eggs). This past Sunday, I wanted to top mine with nut butter and banana, but wanted [...]

easy and delicious oatmeal bake

By | 2022-03-23T05:13:33-08:00 March 22nd, 2022|Breakfast, Health, Nutrition, Recipes|

It's oatmeal bake time! Many of you know that we're finding a new rhythm over here as of late. We have a newborn, my husband got a new full-time job, and Evie girl is off to forest school bright and early. All that said, I am enjoying finding ways to simplify our mornings without sacrificing [...]

 We're on an Italian kick over here, and this one is GOOD. It's one of those recipes that I threw together in a super creative mood, Indie on my chest and a glass of Oso Pardo Viura in hand (my new favorite white), that turned out better than I even expected. When that happens, I [...]

Italian sausage and polenta skillet

I've been feeling way more creative in the kitchen lately, and while I love our staples, it's also fun to try new flavors and ingredients. My dad used to make polenta all the time when we were kids, so this one is nostalgic for me. This polenta skillet isn't just delicious, flavorful, and nourishing, it's [...]

air fryer sweet potato bits

By | 2022-03-03T12:50:49-08:00 February 21st, 2022|Health, Nutrition, Recipes|

I've been building "balanced bowls" for a while now, and every time I share on social media, I get lots of feedback and questions. Sweet potatoes are almost always the base of these bowls, and since getting an air fryer as a gift for Indie's birth (thank you, Dana!) the bowls have gotten that much [...]

gluten free buckwheat chocolate chip cookies

As I write this, I am just over 2 weeks postpartum with our second babe, Indie Bo. And both my heart and my hunger are growing by the day. I am breastfeeding sweet Indie a lot, and with that comes some serious hunger. I've been enjoying an afternoon sweet, but especially in this recovery period, [...]
