Small as some gifts may seem, especially in light of life’s big disappointments and difficulties, they are the ingredients for a life full of gratitude.
What Does a Food Blogger’s Kitchen Look Like? Are You Ready For This? Here It Is! I don’t want to boast, but that is an entire three feet of usable counter space to prep food on! Sometimes I don’t know what to do with it all. That is, until I bring out the bread maker, […]
Recently I was given a great opportunity to become a regular contributor on WholeLifestyleNutrition.com and this week I had the privilege of writing a blog post on using natural, unrefined sugars in desserts and snacks (includes a delicious recipe for Cinnamon Apple, Pear, and Almond Crumble). Sugar is such a prevalent part of our food […]

Setting Up A Standard Two months ago I wrote about our “time of de-processing“; a two-month experiment we were embarking on in order to launch ourselves deeper into eating real, wholesome foods. This was our attempt to “cleanse” our bodies from some of the processed foods we ate during my first trimester of pregnancy, and […]
The Salmon “Special” One afternoon I came home with salmon. Trinidadian Salmon, to be specific. I had never heard of Salmon from Trinidad. I reasoned that since the market was using the origin of the fish as a selling point, it had to be good. The only way I can really describe my husband’s reaction […]
I just devoured one of the greatest meals I have ever had set before me. Truly I would dare to rate this plate of food in the top five dishes I have ever eaten. Unfortunately, I failed to take a photograph of this delectable concoction before I tore it to pieces and thoroughly finished off the entire […]
“But be ye doers of the Word, and not hearers only…But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing…Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit […]
Mmmmmm, the rich fragrance of gooey, smouldering, sizzling, and eventually flaming cheese-like substance wrapped so delicately in plastic–or maybe that’s the “cheese” itself–searing ever so elegantly atop the grill. Two years ago the waft of this aroma sent my stomach turning. Fortunately, this year I was further along in my pregnancy–12 weeks instead of 5–allowing […]

My sister came to visit and bake Christmas cookies with me on Thursday. She and I are both fairly new to motherhood; myself in just 17 months, and her only 4 months with my baby niece. As we took a lunch break from our rigorous baking, she and I discussed the rather extreme and irrational fears […]
I realize I’ve had a slight hiatus in blogging. Trust me, it has not been specific to blogging. No, I fear this hiatus also enveloped my cooking, pursuit of good food, judgment of what good food is, and consumption of real food. What could cause such a detour in what seemed so strong–our pursuit of real […]
Raising kids stirs something deep in our souls — an innate knowing that our time is finite. Taking my kids outside in creation, I’m discovering how to stretch our time and pack it to the brim with meaning. God’s creativity provides the riches of resources for teaching the next generation who He is and how He loves us. Join our adventure and discover inspiration and resources for refusing rush, creating habits of rest, living intentionally, and making the most of this beautiful life!
