Nourishment
Because feeding your family should feel sacred, not stressful
how we eat around here
This page was inspired by a gentle nudge from my mom:
“You should write a cookbook.”
But it’s also rooted in the work of people like Dr. Casey Means, who remind us that food is not just fuel — it’s information, it’s rhythm, it’s power.
Here’s how we eat in our home — not perfectly, but intentionally:
We prioritize real food — local, seasonal, and recognizable by great-grandmothers
We focus on blood sugar balance — protein, fat, and fiber form the foundation of every plate
We embrace gut health — through broths, ferments, and slow-cooked nourishment
We trust intuition over perfection — no counting, no shame, no dogma
We aim for meals that are simple, sacred, and stabilizing — because regulated blood sugar is a regulated nervous system, and that changes everything
We feed our cells like we feed our children — with reverence.
start where you are
Food is medicine. But if you’re anything like me—a recovered picky eater—you might not realize just how much healing you’ve been missing.
These recipes are born from a sacred view of food: fueling the body at a cellular level and honoring the divine design of the ingredients God gave us to nourish mind, body, and spirit.
Whether you’ve been cooking from scratch for years or you’re gently breaking up with meal kit delivery services, I hope this space encourages you to build your culinary intuition. Focus less on precise measurements, and more on the quality—and spirit—of what you’re preparing. Let it be nourishing. Let it be holy. And let it start with what you already have.
🍯 Homemade Marshmallows (with Marshmallow Root)

Made with real marshmallow root tea, maple syrup, and grass-fed gelatin, it’s a nostalgic treat that nourishes as much as it delights.
