Let’s talk about veggie pizza. Either you love it or you hate it. I remember anytime I was at school or work and there were a group of people ordering pizza, there would inevitably be someone who wanted a veggie pizza. This request often elicited a round of groans from the group at large. There’s…
It’s official: fall is my very favorite season in the kitchen. This fall marks a year since we started our local/seasonal produce endeavor. Through this year, I’ve stretched myself in the kitchen to work through the offerings of each. I can confidently say that fall is now my very favorite season. If you haven’t guessed,…
“Nothing unethical is ever coming into this house again!” I recently made this declaration as I slammed down my laptop screen in frustration over not finding something sustainably made and safe for my children. I don’t even remember what I was searching for – likely an item of clothing or a toy. Since we’ve committed…
Everyone wants to eat healthier, and adding veggies is a great way to accomplish this goal! At the best, healthy eating helps us to lose weight and feel better physically. At a slightly less pure level of intention, eating healthy gives us cheat room for foods we really love and/or wine. All. The. Wine. (I…
I recently made the decision to quit social media cold turkey. And yes, I realize how ironic that is, considering you’re likely accessing this post through a social media channel of one form or another. My awesome husband manages this site’s social media pages, so no, I’m not lying when I say that I’m personally…
Josh recently requested that I try making something I’ve not made in a while: fish tacos. We’re big taco people and I’m always game to try something new and fresh in our tacos, so I was game. Since we’ve switched to unprocessed food, meals like tacos looks a little different. Everything has to be made…
I hate doing chores. It seems like living with kids means that everything is always a mess. Even once you’ve just cleaned it up. And while I realize that having children in a home inevitably means that things will get messy, I also hate phrases like “excuse the mess, but my children are making memories”…
One of the most important things that I’ve found with moving to a less processed diet is that a lot of things we once bought now have to be made by hand at home. I enjoy cooking, which is part of what spurred the journey toward whole food in the first place. Not only is…
Paisley is two. Two is a hard age – for both parents and the poor little ones who are actually two. This year has definitely been the biggest year of change for Paisley developmentally and so on. (Although I have a feeling I’m going to say that with each new year of my babies’ lives.)…
We’re a cloth diaper family. And proudly, might I add. We’ve been using cloth diapers since day four, technically. Paisley came home from the hospital with a small stash of disposable so we used those up before digging into our cloth diaper stash. Excepting a few vacations, our kids have only ever worn cloth. We…
