Happy New Year! I woke up with a pep in my step today, not so much because it's a new year, but because December is OVER. Historically, the month of December is rough on my mood and this year was no exception. Too much activity, too much planning, too much sugar and alcohol always puts … Continue reading Spicy Black Eyed Peas with Bacon and Bone Broth
To be fair, I have a lot of favorite food items. I wonder how many of my recipes have the word "favorite" in the title. And realistically, I've never had cranberry salsa before this recipe so it's technically the only cranberry salsa I've tried. Easy to make something a favorite when you haven't tried other … Continue reading My Favorite Cranberry Salsa

My latest obsession is something that has been around a long time. It's not a supplement, a special drink, or an exotic superfood. It's something my ancestors most likely consumed all the time, yet is sadly missing from the modern American diet. Bone broth. Specifically, beef bone broth made from grass fed beef marrow bones. … Continue reading Homemade Bone Broth for Beginners
A few weeks ago, my husband and I took a little "staycation" at a fancy boutique hotel in town. While we were lounging by the pool, living the good life, we enjoyed the most amazing greens bowl. It was a perfect light summer treat. We're typically not "I'll have a salad" people, especially not on … Continue reading Chipotle Honey Greens Bowl

I am currently in training for a new whole food nutritional program I will be launching soon, so I've been playing with some recipes, changing things up, and throwing together … Continue reading Easy and Delicious Bacon Bruschetta Chicken
Y’all, times are crazy. While toilet paper may be absent from stores, last I checked there are still some shelf-stable and frozen items available for plunder... I mean, purchase. So I figured what better time to share ways to create nourishing and filling meals out of a stockpile... just in case. Reminder - this … Continue reading What to Cook When You’re “Social Distancing”
Want to hear something crazy? I only started eating vegetables regularly about 9 years ago. Before that, it seemed so daunting to chop and season, and I relied on packaged meals allll the time due to lack of knowledge and insecurity around cooking. If that’s you - you’re in good company and it’s not too … Continue reading Roasting Veggies for Beginners
Nothing says Valentine's Day like chocolate covered strawberries, am I right? Confession - I don't love strawberries, and the only way I like to eat them is with chocolate. I am not opposed to melting chocolate chips with butter or coconut oil and making a dip that way, but this year I was challenged to … Continue reading Chocolate Hummus
I've been in a pantry cleaning mood lately. I didn't say organizing. You can ask my husband - organization is NOT my skill set. But I'm trying to make use of ingredients we have hanging out in the back of the pantry. You know those things you need for a recipe, you use a tiny … Continue reading Green Lentil Curry
