I just finished making some date syrup. I’ve never made it before so I hope it turned out okay. I had to make date syrup because it was granola day and we’re pretty low on maple syrup. I make granola a few times per month, enough to fill a two quart mason jar. I eat…

Granola Any Way You Like
Granola has to be one of the best prepared foods ever. It’s incredibly easy to make, you can change it each time to keep things exciting, you can pack it full of super nutritious stuff like flax, chia, hemp, nuts, coconut oil, blackstrap molasses, dried fruits. Really the only limit is your imagination and palate….
For the love of potatoes, local farm box and cold season
Ruby and I have been sick. It’s going on a week now of sore throats, sneezing, snot sucking and crankiness. I would say we’re starting to feel better but, I’m not sure that’s true. We were feeling better at one point, but then it seems to have come back. Energy wise we’re doing pretty great,…
Teething Baby, Gratitude and Pumpkin Curry
We’ve been having some rough nights here lately. I’m running on probably 4 hours a night sleep, all broken up into little chunks. Ruby is teething. She’s been teething for months but is only now showing any signs of discomfort. Her bottom two front teeth came in last month with no issue. She’s now working…
Biscuits, Babies and Fall
Happy Fall! The weather has cooled and I find myself craving soup. I’m a big fan of soup personally, and would eat it everyday if given the opportunity. It’s warm and filling, you can add just about anything to it including leftovers, you can pack in a ton of nutrients, you can dip bread products…

Steve’s Pesto Pasta
So, this post is actually from last weekend. I started on it and another, but was so busy last weekend that I never had the opportunity to finish them. And I really wanted to share this post because it’s about Steve’s pesto, which was so delicious. So delicious. Last Sunday I got a special treat….
Green Lentil and Bulgur Wheat Salad
This weeks salad was once again a practice in cleaning out the refrigerator/pantry. I had a about half a bag of dried green lentils plus about 1/2 cup bulgur wheat in the cabinet, so I decided I would build my weekly salad out of these two items. Throw in the last bits of veggies left…
Almond Butter
As I was making my standard weekly batch of almond butter it occurred to me that I’ve never done a post about almond butter. I’ve mentioned that I make my own, but never shown you how. Well today’s your lucky day! Okay, maybe not your lucky day. But a good day, nonetheless.I love almond butter….
Barley and Edamame Salad with Lemon Thyme Vinaigrette
Every weekend I make a salad to eat off of throughout the week. I gives me a chance to be creative in the kitchen, use up leftover produce and also gives me something healthy and fulfilling to eat for lunch during the week. The point of this post is not so much the recipe, but…
