During an afternoon off of work this weekend, I decided a wintry cake was needed. There is no spice quite as magical to me than cardamom…so it always seems like my go-to when I am wanting to make something festive.

I have been making this simple recipe for many years now, and every time it hits the spot just right. I thought it would be the perfect recipe for right now with the abundance of wild mushrooms around us (whether or not you choose to forage them, or buy them at your local market/farmers market!).
It is so fun and magical to create these sodas- making the festivity of enjoying it all the more special and celebratory. With a little patience, your dream carbonated libation awaits.
The other day, I was hungrily searching for something to eat for a post-lunch-pre-dinner snack and the perfect summertime sandwich was born! Leftover grilled vegetables from the previous nights supper, thinly sliced soft cheese, gremolata, and some homemade sourdough. Now it is all I want to eat…ENJOY!
A longtime go-to of mine that is SUPER versatile and delicious. Enjoy!
Especially in times like the present, there is something said for the healing and symbolism of making concoctions that takes a few weeks to brew and become themself. The care-taking/tending-to aspect of Fire Cider is something that is healing itself. And I think we could all use something right now that gets up excited for the future-even if that is just a few weeks.
A great simple back pocket soup recipe goes a longgg ways- whether on nights you have no idea what to make and can forage in the fridge to throw one together, or as a crowd pleasing side on a warm night. I’ll often make them and put them in a tumbler or mug to sip on alongside my supper or throughout the next day/s. Can be served with a slab of toast and butter or sweet potato fries or lasagna or whatever you’re having for supper! Same with the smoothies. They make a great snack or meal side.
I remember my mom used to make this simple/intuitive supper often when I was young. It is warming, filling, and can be as packed with vegetables as you want it to be! Now we make it relatively often, especially in the winter months.
Summer has hit the ground and this is a perfect way to celebrate the juicy plums that are heavy on their branches right now!
This anti-inflammatory, heartwarming, circulation boosting, immunity kicking, bear hug of nourishment tonic is my go-to.
