  Giving joy is the best thing ever. But personally, I think there is something even better: giving someone meaningful joy that will last through the whole year and actually change their day. In little, daily ways. I’m not talking profound here. Although profound gifts are awesome-  they can be a lot of pressure. Which is […]

A few years ago, my family started this ridiculous tradition. And by “family”, I mean me. Dueling dishes. The old school vs the new school. Old school: processed food classics like green bean casserole, yams with marshmallows, pies with corn syrup, and stuffing with orowheat soft sandwich bread. Tradition. The definition of Thanksgiving food. Which […]

I’ll admit it, I used to be a canned cranberry sauce-a-holic. That poor turkey on my plate was just a vehicle.  The potatoes, a mini bumper lane for the goey globs of that sweet purple sauce, all over the place. You know, back in my teenage days before I knew about real food. And, no wonder. […]

And why it’s necessary. This week I’m taking a break. So I’ll just keep it short and sweet: Make sure you do too. At some point in the next 3 months. Don’t feel like you have the time? That’s a sign you’re probably one of the people that needs it most. {raising my own hand […]

This is for real: don’t read this post unless you’re fine with a new addiction. Because, these. These grain-free, refined sugar-free, gluten-free, egg-free and dairy free treats are my favorite things to keep around as of late. And, with so much good stuff in them (coconut oil, walnuts, chia seeds and nut butter for great healthy fats and […]

Everyone also knows that in order to eat healthy, you have to spend hours every day cooking, prepping, and shopping to do so. Also meaning, spending most of […]

  See ya later gross vegetable and soybean oil and loads of white sugar. Unless of course, you LIKE having lots of inflammation in your body. If not, don’t worry my darling. There’s a much better way. It’s called eating real food. No matter what it is, or what you want to have. I think there […]

Remember Katie from last week? [catch up here if you haven’t read last week’s blog post yet] I kind of left you on a cliff-hanger there. Because that was her email to me before she did the (Fall) Meal Plan. But, bigger question: so, what about after? How did it actually go for her? Well. I just […]

  Tomato, Wild Rice + Greens Gratin Makes 4 servings Make the most of the end of the tomato season with this great recipe! It also kind of tastes like pizza :).  Feel free to experiment with adding other sorts of veggies in this dish, or organic sausage Excellent with fresh arugula on top to serve. Also, […]

One of the things that I love to tell people (for shock value alone sometimes), is to eat more butter. You know, the good quality, grass fed stuff. And use it on veggies instead of only reserving it for things that taste like nothing and give you nothing (sorry, pasta). If you use butter on your […]

Seriously. I’ve never done this before. But, 2 weeks ago, I got an email like this in my inbox: “Hi Sarah, I am very interested in the seasonal meal plan but have a few things holding me back… 1. Last year I purchased a different meal plan I found on the internet and it was too restricting […]
