Let’s hear it for the New Year! Last year, I finally got back into the groove with recipe production. I’m so excited to share with you all the recipes that I’ve been working on behind the scenes. Some are made months ahead of time!
If you’re looking for wholesome, satisfying, veggie-packed recipes, you’re in the right place. You’ll find a bunch of them in my guide to seasonal produce below. For in-depth resources and tips on how to eat real food, be sure to check out my cookbook, Love Real Food.
