Turkey tail is one of the few mushrooms I feel comfortable identifying and harvesting to use in our home. She grows wild on our land and over the years I’ve gotten really good at spotting her and knowing when to harvest her.
Herbal infusions are very close to my heart. I was introduced to them when I opened a book called “Healing Wise” by Susan Weed. To keep a very long story short, basically I was searching for a way to connect to my inner herbalist and heal myself.

In the wintertime when my family is most susceptible to sickness, I put garlic in almost everything! Because garlic is so common, we tend to overlook it and the role it can play in our wellness.
These were supposed to be muffins….but I couldn’t find my muffin tin! Honestly, where the heck did it go?! Ahh the joy of two small children who like to get into my cabinets for treasures. I digress.
I grew up with Campbell’s tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. I honestly still love the thought of that meal. There’s a simplicity to a simple soup and sandwich.
I’ve been asked a lot lately to share recipes for kids. This seems to be on the mind of so many of you and I understand! With two small kiddos of my own, I’m constantly looking for new and interesting dishes and snacks for them.
