Simple and nourishing recipes for the wild crafter and urban homesteader.
A Two in 1 Recipe Hack: Umami Broth & Marinated Lion’s Mane + Shiitake Mushrooms
These Marinated Lion’s Mane and Shiitake mushrooms began their tasty journey in a rich umami broth before soaking in the marinade.
Hot Chocolate Elixir Blend
Rich in essential minerals such as magnesium, iron, and manganese, and the bitter alkaloid theobromine, cacao gifts us with luscious and nurturing support.
Botanical Bath Orbs
Bath orbs are one of the most welcomed gifts to receive and always enjoyable to use. There are so many variations and recipes out there but in their most simple preparation, all you need are a few ingredients that you likely already have on hand.
Herbal Incense Cones
Botanical aromas in the home are often very cleansing and evoke a connection with the natural elements. These incense cones are a great alternative to fragrant candles, and synthetically scented room sprays, which aren’t ideal to inhale.
Winter Spiced Oxymel
Oxymels are a great alternative (or addition) to alcoholic cocktails this season. I like to add them to soda water and garnish with a few seasonal sprigs and a splash of citrus for a beautiful and delightful digestive tonic.
Foraged Fire Starters
I make sure to use natural wax like beeswax or leftover soy wax from candles, as petroleum-based waxes can release potentially harmful chemicals (like benzene) into the air. A very good reason to stick to natural candles in the home.
Dark Chocolate Miso Dates with Wildflower Sprinkles
The creamy and umami-rich miso perfectly complements the natural caramel sweetness of the Medjool dates, creating a decadent explosion of flavors.
Nourishing Bone Broth
The patient process of thawing the bones, roasting them, and slowly simmering them over many hours has become an important ritual in my life. I often wonder what wisdom was held in these bones as I watch them release their nourishing juices into the broth.
Tallow + Rose Hip Lotion Bars
Tallow balm is made with the rendered fat of ruminant animals and closely matches our skin’s natural oils. It is a nutrient-rich, zero-waste alternative to many oil-based skincare products, and one that many of our ancestors have used for generations.
Fire Cider
Fire cider is a warming, immune-boosting folk remedy and traditionally taken as a preventative for colds and flus and to circulate the blood.
