It's soup season! And I am here for it. Rusty's wild land fire season is done, we're soaking in slow autumn days complete with brisk hikes, leaf jumping, fireside hangs, and family game nights, and soup is on the menu. I love how colder weather meals can be made in advance (hello nap time dinner [...]
There's something extra special about stew this time of year. Stew is nostalgic for me because my mom always used to make it for us when I was a kid. This recipe was an upgraded take on an old favorite with all the flavors of the season and bison stew meat courtesy of US Wellness [...]

A good friend of ours is also a commercial fisherman, and he is very good at what he does. He's also an awesome human and member at our CrossFit gym. He surprised Rusty and me this past week with a shoebox filled with fresh-caught Dungeness crab. Have I mentioned one of my love languages is food? Anyways, [...]
It should come as no surprise by now that I am a huge advocate of homemade bone broth. Look no further than THIS post to see why. The cool thing about this healing bone juice is that you don't need much to reap some benefits (although the more, the healthier, of course). The not so cool [...]
It's winter in California, which means that delicious apples are everywhere. For that reason, it's also the only time of year that I crave them. It's pretty impressive how the body can be so in tune with the seasons, even so much so that cravings follow suit. That crisp bite, the sweet aroma and flavor. [...]
