I like to consider myself something of a great at-home chef. When I married Josh, I had no idea what to do in the kitchen and even poisoned him accidentally the first time I cooked for him (everything turned out ok in the end!). Not long after that, I found my feet in the kitchen and have been cooking ever since – which is good, considering I’ve got a family to feed. What you’ll find here is a collection of recipes that I’ve invented and that my family loves – or are just so healthy for us that I serve them anyway. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do…
Happy eating!
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,…
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…
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…
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…
After my last post, which chronicles our journey to a whole food diet that’s basically vegetarianism with a few small meat excursions, you might be wondering, “When are you going to go full vegetarian or vegan?” This is a fairly logical question, and one that Joshua and I asked ourselves along our journey to cleaner,…
(Okay, this actually has nothing to do with the store of the same name. Especially not after the soulless sellout to Amazon, haha. Just wanted to clear that up!) Over the past few years, our diet has undergone a fairly radical transformation. There are a lot of reasons for this, but honestly it simply boils…
Chocolate. Peanut butter. Chocolate peanut butter. Enough said? Right! Chocolate and peanut butter are a match made in Heaven. I imagine the conversation went something like this: Angel 1: You got some peanut butter in my chocolate! Angel 2: No way! You got some chocolate in my peanut butter! Angel 1: *tastes* Hm.. You know…
Soon we’ll be welcoming a new member to the family. For us, a new baby means tons of change (obviously) but it’s particularly huge for me as mom, since our plan is to breastfeed exclusively for 4-6 months, and continue for up to Baby’s first birthday (and possibly beyond). Breastfeeding with Paisley was an unexpected…
Hi Friends! Paisley here (with some spelling help from Mama) to cover one of my favorite topics: food! I love to eat and talk about food constantly (cookies, anyone?) and thought that it might be fun to share with you my favorite snack combos. These are hands-down my favorites and I know they’ll be hits…
