Simple Food {for spring} Now Available (and a giveaway!)

183 Comments

Well, here we are, three days into May and I am finally ready to share our favorite spring-time recipes. Creating this book was kind of like a very mellow version of having a baby. It is really fun and exciting, those last few weeks are a bit hard, and (in my case) it’s ready two weeks later than expected.

After receiving all of the feedback from Simple Food {for winter} I was a little concerned that I was going in a completely different direction with this one. But, truth be told, I think it makes sense. After winter we want anything but winter on our plates and that is exactly what is growing right now.

So that is what you’ll find this time around… spinach, lettuce, radishes, onions, spring herbs, greens, asparagus… it’s all in here (and more). And this time around these recipes are mostly meat-free and at least a third can easily be made vegan.

Some of our favorite recipes include the salads and dressings made from cultured dairy; asparagus, spinach, and spring onion tart; greens burgers; one-pan baked eggs with spinach; grain-free one-pan deconstructed stuffed shells; sprouted French lentil, ham, and asparagus salad; grain-free scones; and chimichurri sauce.

I’ve also shared five essays about sustainability, more on our journey to agrarianism, and some thoughts on spring cleansing and wild edibles. You can see all 28 (brand new) recipes, which come with photos, over on the book’s landing page or you can just…

Ironically, since we moved here, and especially since Annabelle was born, I have been "working" more than ever. I say working with parentheses because I think the phrase working mother is redundant for mothers and wives alike, if they are really doing their job. Because Stewart also "works" from home, (again parentheses because he also…

Unexpected Break

You may be wondering why this space has been so quiet this past ten days. I didn’t plan to, but I took a blogging break, and it was the best thing for us. I actually was out of town for about five days while my husband did an amazing job caring for our boys and…

  1. I love that you have divided the cookbooks into seasons. It makes it easier to live a lifestyle using the best ingredients at the peak of freshness. I’m new to the organic family and am in the process of simplifying and living a sustainable life. Growing some vegetables among the flowerbed and shopping the farmer’s market to support our local growers. I’ve made your yogurt and it was fantastic. I also make my own butter and mayonnaise and almond milk. It is amazing how good one can feel when removing all the additives and hormones used in public food production. Thank you for your book, blog and for sharing it with the world!
