When you go to the farmers market, are you drawn straight toward the colorful berries on display? Maybe you bought a few too many baskets, or foraged a bit too much on that last hike in the mountains. Whatever the case, my Seedless Raspberry Jam…
This Warm Wheat Berry Salad with pea sprouts, spring onions, and bacon is perfect for the transitional months between winter and spring. It’s warm to counteract the cold nights, but it’s still light and balanced; not heavy at all. It’s perfect as either a main…
I make no secret about how much I love sour and pickled foods. Their flavors are incredibly important to crafting balanced, craveable-to-the-last-bite dishes. These Whole30 Spicy Pickled Carrots can be enjoyed as a refreshing snack, or chopped up as a garnish for a roast.
I find that you either love or hate brussels sprouts, and that likely stems from how your parents cooked them. If your parents steamed or boiled the sprouts, you’re probably in the hate camp. But, if you were lucky enough to have roasted brussels sprouts,…
Recently, when shopping at a farmers market here in Anchorage, I saw these Bulls Blood beet tops, and I knew I had to buy them. And while I didn’t know exactly what I was going to use them for, I did have some pretty specific…
Now that we’re deep in the summer months, the farmers markets across the country are in full swing. Doesn’t matter if you’re in Alaska or California, there are plenty of markets to visit and fresh produce to explore. And with every farmers market, there’s likely at least one farmer selling carrots.

Carrot Top and Quinoa Tabbouleh is a great recipe to have in your back pocket to prevent food waste. It uses a ton of herbs, so it is a great way to use up whatever is leftover from purchasing a whole bunch, including the tender…
Asparagus is one of the highlights of spring farmers markets. I love using asparagus as much as I can during their brief season. And the best part is that almost all asparagus dishes are fast and easy to cook or prep. This Whole30 shaved asparagus salad comes together in less than 20 minutes, and has all the best flavors of the spring farmers market.
This creamy, Whole30 beet soup is my twist on borscht, a classic Eastern European beet soup. I add tahini to my recipe to give this beet soup a nutty background flavor and creamy texture. Finish it off with a ton of fresh herbs, and you’ve…
