I love me some leafy greens. The flowering brassica I received from La Nay Ferme a few days ago was wonderful. A little bitter, which is good, and full of flavor. It’s hard to believe this former picky eater could be so in love with leafy greens, but here I am. On Monday I ran […]
French Kids Eat Everything Review
Let’s talk about the way my kids have been eating. I have switched to eating a predominantly plant-based, gluten-free diet, so I’m getting my fruits and veggies in. But the kids? Not so much. I’ve been feeling kind of guilty about that. My littlest one will drink green smoothies with me in the morning, but […]
Peach-Rose Water Sorbet
Peaches are not in season in Utah, but I am patiently waiting for them to grow and ripen. We had such a beautiful, warm Spring that I’m pretty sure we’ll have early peaches this year. I pulled out my last bag of frozen sliced peaches from last year’s stash and felt a little excitement about […]
Gluten-Free Baked Gnocchi with Oregano-Chive Pesto and Slow Roasted Tomatoes
I haven’t been to the store to buy groceries for a few weeks. Picking up fresh produce from La Nay Ferme has spoiled me. I’ve also been spending a lot of time in my little garden anticipating the days that are coming soon–the days when I’ll run outside, grab some zucchini and tomatoes and throw […]
S’mores Ice Cream Sandwiches
{This was originally a guest post I did for Spark last summer. I couldn’t resist re-posting it over here. Summer is coming, and this is a fabulous, if labor intensive, dessert to usher in the hot weather, long days, and all things fun.} Homemade marshmallows turned into homemade ice cream, homemade graham crackers, and homemade […]
Homemade Ranch Dressing
Remember what I said about salad with ranch dressing a few days ago? I meant that gloopy, greasy, overly sweet stuff from the bottle. Not this glorious creamy dressing that might as well be from heaven. My husband claimed to hate ranch dressing until I started making it from scratch. Truthfully, I didn’t even like […]

Polenta with Mushrooms and Flowering Brassica
I saw Helene’s post, Creamy Polenta with Russian Kale and Shitake Mushrooms a few weeks ago, and I haven’t been able to get it out of my mind. You know we’re big fans of polenta around here. I especially love polenta with greens. As I was trying to come up with a way to use […]
Broccoli Microgreen-Quinoa Salad with Roasted Garlic Dressing
Yesterday I ran up to La Nay Ferme before I took my youngest to her fabulous art class to pick up my pot of broccoli microgreens. I really, really, really love microgreens and broccoli microgreens are so good. I thought about how I wanted to use them for my lunch yesterday. It had been awhile […]
Peach Balsamic Vanilla Vinaigrette
Salad is my favorite food, I think. I eat salad almost every single day. I even wrote a salad guide on Make and Takes a few years ago. I like to think I’m somewhat of an expert, you see. Salads are one of the best ways to fit in all your leafy greens, and as […]
