Grass Fed Burgers 4 Ways

You guys, how fun are these grass fed burgers 4 ways? 

To be honest, I used to avoid red meat. And then I started learning about real food, and now grass fed beef is a protein I cook with regularly. 

It’s food the way nature intended. And it’s a win-win-win-win scenario (better flavor, better nutrition, better for the environment, better for animal welfare). 

The burgers are delicious on their own, but these fun toppings really make them something special. I love the idea of “interactive entertaining” and setting up a burger bar with  toppings is a great way for everyone to have their burgers just the way they love them. You can even add in a veggie option to keep everyone happy!

  2. Brought up a whole heap of emotions for me.

Enter this grilled turmeric cauliflower.  Continue reading


Allergy-Friendly Bento Boxes

[I made these fun Allergy Friendly Bento Boxes for Earth Fare!]

It’s amazing how much someone’s experience with food as a young person will shape the way they prepare, eat, and think about food for the rest of their lives. 

That’s why we really have to show kids the importance of healthy food at a very young age. 

I don’t have kids of my own, but I have gotten close to a lot of little people through years of babysitting, working summer camps, and nannying abroad. And while some kids just seem to have extra picky palettes, I’ve found that the more a child is exposed to healthy foods, the more likely they are to eat them (and love them!) Continue reading
