After looking outside to rain the last week, soup is all my family has wanted to eat. Soup is the most nourishing, soothing dish you can make and to have a few recipes in your toolbox, makes dinnertime that much easier!

My little sister is 9 years younger and was obsessed with dips from the time she was small. Sometimes we waited forever to start eating while she created a concoction to add flavor to her meal. This became a thing in my family and we made meals around dips because it made Kerry happy.

This recipe is really about the importance of brining your meat! If you treat your meat to a good brine, you can do almost anything you want to it and it will be moist and delicious. I was in the mood for something sweet, so I took beautiful Heritage Pork chops from the farm and grilled them with an amazing fig jam that I picked up too.

I am all about simplicity and most nights it’s as easy as white rice or roasted potatoes, but sometimes it’s fun to mix it up!

Can you think of anything better than homemade ice cream? During the summer, fresh fruit is so abundant and there isn’t a better time for stone fruit, so Peach Ice Cream it is!

Do you love Chinese take out, but don’t love the questionable ingredients they use?

There is nothing better than chocolate! When you use food as medicine, a lot of everyday foods will be eliminated to see if your body will do better without them. The two big contributors to inflammation or a negative immune reaction are gluten and dairy.

It is definitely the season for crumbles! Fresh fruit is plentiful and if you are anything like my family, going berry, cherry and stone fruit picking is all the rage.

I think I could eat mexican food on the daily. These Green Chili Enchiladas can be elavated making everything from scratch or you can make your life easy by buying a rotisserie chicken and a good quality green chili salsa at the store. Either way, this makes a delicious Lunch or light dinner and can easily be adjusted to fit grain free and gluten free lifestyles.
