I was very impressed by my 3rd Fix shipment from Stitch Fix! Stitch Fix warns you that it may take several fixes for your stylist to understand your style, and I think they definitely are. They even included a lengthy personal note about how they had taken a look at my Pinterest page and gotten a better feel for my style. Thanks Stitch Fix! Continue reading
Homemade bread is unrivaled. It makes your home smell incredible while it’s cooking and it’s warm and fluffy when it’s done. The perfect sour dough bread starts with a sourdough starter, but this recipe works even without one (it would just be french bread instead of sourdough.)
It takes a while from the mixing and rising process until it’s covered in butter and in your mouth, but this sourdough bread is worth the wait. You can add any optional ingredients to this basic recipe, I like adding cracked wheat or garlic and cheddar cheese. Continue reading

Foraging for wild clover is a great way to get outside and get lucky in your search for free wild food. Continue reading
While we’re getting into the St. Patrick’s Day spirit, these avocado deviled eggs will really make your breakfast pop! There’s no artificial coloring or flavoring to achieve the green color like many other recipes, and it is still is a zingy and zesty twist on a classic breakfast (or brunch) favorite!
I love sugar scrubs. I use one daily as a soap alternative with coconut oil to replenish skin moisture in the dry Eastern Washington winter. This sugar scrub is nicely themed for St. Patrick’s day. It’s optional to add the food coloring and I don’t to avoid color substitutes and fake dyes. The minty flavor is enough to remind you of Shamrock shakes and green clovers. Continue reading
Many of us have begun to realize that mono-cropping and other conventional farming practices are not only degrading the landscape but lack practicality. So as a solution, we have to turn to the natural processes going on around us.
One of these solutions is to balance out the landscape with a diversity of plant species, each with its own function. Since it is almost Saint Patrick’s Day, I wanted to focus on what clovers can do for the earth and how it may benefit your growing area. Continue reading
