I don’t know about you, but when I first heard the term adrenal fatigue I pretty much ignored it. I mean…I thrive on keeping busy. I am a born “do-er”. But in the last couple of years, I have literally been through some of the darkest health days I have ever...

There is just something about the summer season that just doesn’t feel quite “summer” until our peaches are ready to eat! One of our favorite things to do is make peaches and cream soda – it’ so refreshing on a hot July day. I don’t...

Beef roast dinner has been one of my favorite meals even from childhood. There is just nothing like filling your house with the smell of beef roast slow cooking in the oven over the course of an afternoon. Don’t make it harder than it has to be! I typically...

One of my favorite summer fruits is peaches and with them, I make peach lemonade! There is a beautiful, generational family about 30 minute’s drive from us that have a stone fruit farm that we pick cherries from every July, and then toward the end of July, the...

One of my favorite things about summer is berry picking! We live in a pretty perfect area for berry harvests as far as growing conditions go, and I take advantage of it! Especially because I love my strawberry breakfast cookies! Just about every month from June until...

Right around March, my body starts craving fresh, raw veggies. We are pretty seasonal eaters in our house, so with the winter comes less variety to my veggie rotation – and I think that is a good thing. Cooked veggies (with friendly fats like butter) are easier on our...

Oh, happy day! We finally made it to summer and to celebrate, I’m making a delicious summer breakfast smoothie. I mean really. I spend a good 4 months buried in snow every year, along with an up and down slow warm up to spring…I am just about as giddy as you can...

Whether it’s during a season of tight budgets or a season of healing where restaurant food just isn’t going to cooperate with the eating plan, sometimes having some really great celebration food in my back pocket is really helpful. And this beautiful french silk...

Every Christmas that I can ever remember involved peanut butter balls (also known as Buckeyes)! My mom would have an assembly line set up for my sister and me to help dip the frozen peanut butter balls, and despite the brightly frosted Christmas cookies that crowded...

“You’ll get pregnant again.” “Don’t worry, you have 2 other babies so your body knows how to get pregnant. You’ll have another baby.” “I’m sure you’ll get pregnant again – this just wasn’t the right timing and it will be just perfect next time around.” Certainly...

This is the time of year that people just crave fresh produce. I love eating seasonal. When summer hits, my body hasn’t had fresh strawberries, blueberries, cherries, or raspberries since the previous summer, and I just savor them more. I enjoy them to the...

It started snowing the week of Thanksgiving where I live, and I haven’t seen our grass since. After a long (and I mean LONG!) winter, seeing our farmer’s markets open, and abundant bundles of spring asparagus pop up makes every last ounce of winter blues melt away!...

So who loves hummus? We sure do! My newest hummus variation, chipotle hummus, has quickly become our new favorite and I hope you love it too. There are actually some brands with decent ingredients in the health food store. But, man, it is just such a money saver to...

If you would have told me 8 years ago that I would be making soup from scratch for my family on a weekly and monthly basis I would have *laughed* (hard!) at you. I did NOT know how to cook. But as it turns out, learning how to cook, and specifically soup making, was...
