protein banana bread

Looking to boost your protein intake? Eyeing those overripe bananas on your counter? I've got you covered. This protein-packed, super moist, delicious banana bread loaf is packed with nourishing protein, and mostly banana-sweetened too (plus, a little maple syrup). Each slice offers decadence AND nourishment in one, my girls LOVE it too. The key is [...]

pumpkin pie crumble

By | 2025-12-20T12:13:51-08:00 November 27th, 2025|A Little Sweet Tooth, Health, Nutrition, Recipes|

If you know me, you know I love turning my sourdough discard into delicious sourdough delights. I also love making older recipes new with creative fun touches to (in this case) potentially improve upon an old favorite.  The holidays are here, and I've got two main desserts on my mind: pumpkin pie and apple crumble. [...]

If you know me, you know I love turning my sourdough discard into delicious sourdough delights, and friends, this might be my best yet. This recipe is inspired by crumble fixings my dear friend, Moya, made with miss Indie last week when they spent the afternoon together. She and Indie peeled pounds of apples* (see [...]

Creamy cornbread + chicken bake

By | 2025-01-11T06:04:33-08:00 January 5th, 2025|Pastured Meat, Recipes, Soups, Salads, Sides|

We LOVE sourdough cornbread - with chili, paired with a favorite holiday meal, as the base for cornbread stuffing, alongside pulled pork, you name it! And now, thanks to this recipe, we intentionally leave leftovers (which often means I need to make extra) because this one is a weeknight (or anytime) winner that the whole [...]

If you've been here long, you know we LOVE sourdough. And as the holidays roll around that love turns into full-on obsession. Find me in my kitchen looking for all the ways to make fermentation extra festive. And this way might just be my favorite yet. I’ve never been a stuffing fan, but with this [...]

protein pesto

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 [...]

garlic rosemary shredded beef

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. [...]

lemony chicken and cannellini bean soup

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 [...]

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've made it now with beef from Wild Pastures, lamb from Ale Lamb Co., and bison from US Wellness meats (and even [...]

sourdough maple bacon donuts

By | 2023-07-14T05:48:34-08:00 March 26th, 2023|A Little Sweet Tooth, Health, Nutrition, Recipes|

DONUTS!!! I don't know about you, but I haven't enjoyed one in a long time (until now, that is). Frankly, the way I feel after eating regular gluten fried in crappy (ya, I said it) oils just isn't worth it. But everything's changed now that we've made our own sourdough, avocado oil or lard-fried donuts [...]
