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 cellular information.

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. The formula for a good meal = protein + fat + fiber

  • We embrace gut health. Through broths, ferments, and slow-cooked nourishment

  • We trust intuition over perfection. Less measuring, no shame, no dogma

  • We understand you are what you eat. We consider the lifestyle and the feed our food receives.

start where you are

Food is medicine. But if you’re anything like me (hello former picky eaters), 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 in your pantry and fridge.

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