It’s a gloomy fermentation Friday where I live, but rain is always good. Today I wanted to share a recipe for how to use sauerkraut by pairing our favorite ferment with my other favorite food. Sushi. Or more appropriately termed, maki. Maki /ˈmäkē/ • noun a Japanese dish consisting of sushi and raw vegetables wrapped in seaweed. Since I …
Today’s potato nachos utilize thick-cut rounds of russet potatoes that are topped with fresh guacamole and vegetables and served with roasted beans and broccoli. While there’s nothing quite like a plate of nachos heavy and saturated with oozy fats and tangy sauces. You know what I’m talking about, a plate where only the edges are …
It kind of amazes me that I haven’t ever shared this recipe before. It’s for a spirulina zucchini noodle salad that I make several times a year. It came about when I first got into the raw food lifestyle back in 2009. So much about that lifestyle has changed my life and understanding of produce …
We drink to health! We drink to great tasting green juice! We drink because we like a green stache! I was craving a luscious–vibrant–full–of–wellness green juice the other day and so I made one. I grabbed some apples that were weeks old, lemons I probably shouldn’t have bought in the first place, and a whole …
Sometimes I feel seasonally backwards in accordance with what I eat. I tend to crave carbs in the summer and smoothies and salads in the winter.

We’ve been road tripping the last two weeks, which has meant NO CSA Haul! Don’t worry we’ve had plenty of good food during those two weeks, but still. Driving up the gravel hill with dust clouds racing our back tires to see a sight like this. To see and even touch where each nourishing item …
When you make a beautiful salad it needs the perfect dressing. One that helps all of the ingredients shine and burst with flavor. I’m always on the lookout to make an oil-free or low-fat dressing mostly because it means I can pour even MORE of it on my salad. Allowing each fig wedge, apple chunk, and …
Friday around 4 p.m. I headed out with my bike in the back of the car, an insulated tote, a reusable tote, and my bike gear. My first stop was to pick up our CSA, load the tender items in the insulated tote and everything else in the reusable before heading down to the trailhead …
Tonight was a good night. A delicious night. I picked up our fourth CSA share today and my mouth was almost pain-free. I couldn’t ask for more. I found out this week that I’ll be getting my first root canal on July 2nd. I look forward to it in a dreadful sort of way. I …
Quick bites–which I’m coining in relation to Feed Your Skull–as a fewer words, quick share of something delicious I’ve made recently. Jeremy and I have been vying for blender privileges this week and yesterday I WON! 🙂 So I threw in all the greens. We had a little cilantro, fresh basil from the farmers market, …
