It’s a staple around here.  We eat it often.

And although it’s not always homemade, every time I make it from scratch I’m always left thinking the same thought…

Dandelion Greens 2

Dark leafy greens are one of the most nutritious foods we can add to our diets and I find that the more often I eat them the more often my body craves them.

Video: Artichoke 101

Artichokes

Yet another video that was shot last year when I was still pregnant with Jachs.  What can I say, we got a little ambitious in front of the camera but lost our footing a bit with the editing… BUT why waste our time chatting about the past when here we are one year later with a finished product, right?!
