Recipes
FOR CARING FOR YOURSELF, LOVED ONES, AND for LIVING IN CONNECTION WITH THE NATURAL WORLD
-
I want to share my recipes for inside and outside care with you plus some magic. They range from staple year round recipes to ones that honor seasonal botanicals.
My aim is for these recipes to be fun and an act of love, not overly laborious and daunting. They are steeped in a deep reverence for the natural world and I hope they resonate with you and you make them your own for years to come. Please feel to email me if you ever have questions or comments. I always say “follow your nose” so I hope you put your personal touch on these!
