Today is just another one of those days where I really shouldn’t be on pinterest looking at any food that isn’t ‘whole 30’. For some reason all I want is a donut. I don’t even eat donuts, unless pregnant. AH! I just don’t want to... read more

I’m eating delightful pickled green beans as I write this. Green beans I’ve hoarded since last fall, and now it’s time. Time to eat all those canned delicacies that haven’t already been gobbled up over the winter months. Gotta clear the space... read more

Oh yes that mystical nut so high in selenium and other essential minerals. Brazil Nuts are also loaded with vitamin E and B vitamins, high in fiber and protein, and just deliciously special since they come from so far away (at least for me). I used to think brazil... read more

Oh my pudding pie these fritters are sky high. Have you ever started making one thing and then ended up making something totally different? Usually it turns out for the better, when we just go, with the flow. It’s hot and muggy and feeling like India.... read more

Straight from the farm! The greens are in full motion, along with our internal spring cleansing. It’s all happening, the cocoon is slowly unfurling. Sometimes I just don’t know how the days pass so quickly. Perhaps that’s partially because I... read more

In a final farewell to sweetness, last night both J and I indulged in *ahem* 4 pieces each of the delectable cinnamon toast crunch raw pie. Can’t say it was worth it, although every bite was so good, neither of us slept well and baby Mav was up all night. Too... read more

Cheese making is more of an art than an exact science. No matter how sterile and by the book, the home cheese maker will never reproduce the same cheese twice. Because there are various different bacteria floating around which will inherently change the taste of your... read more

It’s a great time of year to hop over to your friends garden and swoop up some healthy, free, delightful wild foods. Wood sorrel is one of my faves. It’s easy to eat heaps as it isn’t at all bitter and has a lemony zing akin to... read more

Today I’ll tell you a little story. Once upon a time I was a devout vegetarian. Once upon that time I went to Jamaica and while my family went the famous Scotchies to dabble in world class jerk chicken, I passed. It was hard, but I was devoted, even amidst the... read more
