Carrot Ginger Soup: GAPS Friendly

This week I got a case of carrots as an add-on item with my farm box. This was not a small box. I filled three gallon bags with carrots to freeze for later, and still had about two gallons left. So, naturally I whipped up my favorite carrot and ginger soup for dinner. I typically steer

Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies, Real Food Style

Yesterday was my son’s fifth birthday, and I found myself a bit unprepared. We had celebrated a week early with a big Star Wars party for 24 small children and their accompanying adults. In addition to cleaning and decorating, I made a homemade coconut flour cake with honey butter cream frosting and some scrumptious but nutritious

Easy Crockpot Chicken Soup With Roasted Veggies

It is certainly soup season in my neighborhood, and this crockpot chicken soup is both easy and nurturing. The recipe is based on Nourished Kitchen’s Slow Cooker Chicken Soup, but I’ve changed the steps a bit to remove the bones and non-savory bits before adding veggies and opted to roast the vegetables separately in the

Anna’s Earth Mother Lactation Stew

Also known as Persian lactation stew, this delicious dish was delivered to me by my dear friend, Anna, after the birth of my first child. Not just for nursing moms, my whole family enjoyed it. This is great to take to a new mom or prepare ahead and freeze yourself for when baby arrives. I promise it won’t

Veggie Hash: Empty Fridge Friday

When it comes to our fridge, every week is the same: The farm box comes on Saturday overflowing with amazing produce, gorgeous eggs from pastured hens, raw milk and cream. Sunday morning we often venture to the farmer’s markets to stock up on beef, lamb, pork, and chicken from our favorite local farmers before an afternoon

Thai Curry Goulash: Empty Fridge Friday

The Best French Onion Soup

Adapted from Nourishing Traditions, this is one of my husband’s favorites from our early pre-kid days. I remember having blissfully quiet evening on the deck in autumn slurping this soup and sipping wine, and discussing something grown-up. Ahhh. This simple, yet elegant soup delivers a nutritional punch with nutrient dense bone broth full of minerals,

Make Your Own Beef Bone Broth

I made my first beef bone broth when I was pregnant with my first child and developed a temporary but visceral aversion to all things processed. A friend introduced me to Sally Fallon’s book Nourishing Traditions, which is the basis for the recipe below. I started buying raw butter, feeding my first kombucha scoby, and simmering my first

Slow Cook Carnitas – Gifting You With My Labor of Love

After much ado, carnitas has hands-down become our current family favorite – pastured pork shoulder seasoned and slow-cooked in old-fashioned lard. Yes, that’s right. I said LARD. Unless you don’t eat pork for religious reasons, carnitas may just be your gateway into ‘the other white meat,’ it’s so darn good. And, believe it or not,

How to Render Lard – The Forgotten Superfood

Yes, that’s right. I said LARD. Contrary to modern mainstream beliefs, lard has a great fat profile, and is the second richest dietary source of vitamin D after cod liver oil. Vitamin D is essential for immune and mental health, strong bones and teeth, optimal hormone function, cancer prevention, and more. About 40% of lard

Simply Spectacular Homemade Yogurt Recipe

I like trying new things, really I do, but when it comes to certain foods, I want them to taste familiar. For example, I don’t like chili in my chocolate, and I like my yogurt firm and tangy but mellow. The latter posed a bit of a challenge when I started experimenting with homemade yogurt.

Finger Jello: A Wiggly, Jiggly Nutrient Dense Food

One of my favorite things about real, nutrient dense food is that I find myself eating amazingly delicious things that I previously deemed to be guilty pleasures – bacon, butter, cream, egg yolks, and other delectables are now my top health foods. I love it! Recently I discovered that finger jello doesn’t have to be
