🥩✨ Protein-packed breakfast plate because healing, hormones, energy, and blood sugar don’t magically balance themselves. 👏🏼

Today’s breakfast looked like:
🤎 Pot roast
🥦 Broccoli + asparagus
🧈 Grass-fed butter on homemade sourdough English muffins
🍓 A2 organic yogurt with honey, strawberries & blueberries
🥕 Ginger + carrot + apple + lemon juice shot

And before someone says “that’s a lot for breakfast…” — yep. Intentionally. 👏🏼

Starting my day with:
✨ 800+ calories
✨ healthy fats + carbs
✨ 60+ grams of protein

Because under-eating was wrecking my recovery, sleep, and energy more than I realized. 😅

The more I learn about nourishment, the more I realize:
👉🏼 protein matters
👉🏼 minerals matter
👉🏼 eating enough matters
👉🏼 breakfast is NOT the enemy

Crunchy-ish but also realistic over here. 💁🏻‍♀️

What’s your current breakfast obsession lately? 👀🍳🥓🥯 #WildMamaBecoming #HighProteinBreakfast #NourishToFlourish #CrunchyMama #SourdoughLiving

Got to visit our happy place a few weeks ago.
After a wild couple of days at Disneyland, we got to stop in Pismo for a night. To play, relax and have some of our favorite foods.

Life has been crazy lately, but it’s been so great.
Leaving federal service has been so freeing. Started my own business and being present for my family.
So blessed to have a husband that is busting his butt to support our little family.

Dinner last night was one of those “throw together what sounds good” meals… and honestly? 👏 SO 👏 GOOD 👏

We used:🍜 Lotus Foods organic millet + brown rice ramen (Costco)🍗 Chicken with whatever seasoning/marinade sounded right🧄 Garlic🌱 Green onions🥕 Carrots🍄 Mushrooms🌿 Cilantro🫛 Peas✨ Mung bean sprouts🫚 Ginger

Cook the chicken + noodles separately first.Then toss your veggies into a wok and cook them however YOU like them 👌 Add the noodles + chicken back in, pour in some sauces (we used coconut aminos + Japanese BBQ sauce 🤤), let it all cook down together, then top with sesame seeds.

Easy peasy. No complicated recipe. No measuring cups. Just real food and a little creativity 🖤

Would your family eat this? 👀And what veggie would YOU add? ⬇️

There’s something about tending roses that slows me all the way down 🌹

Not just cutting them for beauty…
but using every part of what they give.

Yesterday looked like:
✨ clipping fresh blooms for the house
✨ harvesting petals at their peak
✨ starting rose cuttings (praying these babies root 🤞🏼)
✨ building a scrappy little greenhouse to keep them warm + humid

And then…
washing each petal, laying them out, and letting them slowly dry in the dehydrator 🌿

This is the part I didn’t expect to love so much—
the process.

Turning something fleeting into something that lasts…
tea, remedies, little jars of goodness I can come back to later.

Nothing wasted.
Everything appreciated.

It’s not perfect.
It’s not fancy.
But it feels like the kind of life I’ve been craving.

Soft. Slow. Intentional.

And honestly… a little wild 🌹

After a particularly emotional day, I had to take

After a particularly emotional day, I had to take a step back, take a deep breath and exhale. Inhale the good and exhale the bad. I let the tears flow for a bit and brushed it off.

Reminding myself that, others actions have nothing to do to do with me. I know better, but it is just really difficult when you are doing everything to help, but they are just not trying to hear you and see you as an opponent.

So, I went outside. Sat on the earth, ate dinner in the sunset, had silly conversations with my sweet boy, went for a walk with the dog. Saw beauty in the hard day. Reset myself. Walked away when I knew I wasn’t being heard. I know myself and I know my intentions are good.

Tonight was one of those nights that reminds me why I love this life so much.

Homemade corn tortillas warm off the pan.
A bright cilantro lime crema whipped up with yogurt and garden herbs.
Fresh tomatillo salsa.
And home-ground chuck sizzling on the stove.

Real food. Simple ingredients. Full plates.

But the best part?
Watching my boy absolutely go to town on the cilantro crema… trying to scrape every last drop out like it was liquid gold. 😂

There is something so deeply satisfying about feeding the people you love with food made by your own hands.

The kitchen was messy.
The tortillas weren’t perfectly round.
But the table was full of laughter… and that’s the kind of perfection I’m after these days.

We wrapped up the night the way good nights should end —
a bike ride in the evening air and kiddo cruising around on his little quad while the sun disappeared.

These are the moments I want to remember.
Slow food.
Wild childhood.
Full hearts.

And a mama who’s grateful she gets to make it all happen. 🤍

✨ Tell me — what’s a meal your family can’t get enough of lately?

There’s something really satisfying about making the simple things from scratch.

Tonight it was homemade cream of mushroom soup — and it honestly makes the canned stuff feel like a different food entirely.

🍄 Organic mushrooms
🧅 Onion
🥣 Homemade chicken broth from the freezer
🥛 Cream

That’s it. Real ingredients. Real flavor.

One of my favorite little kitchen tools lately has been my Souper Cubes. Since I’m not in my “canning era” yet 😆 they make it so easy to portion and freeze things like this for future meals.

Next time I need cream of mushroom for a recipe?
I just pop out a cube and it’s ready to go.

Slow living, nourishing food, and a freezer that’s slowly filling with the good stuff.

This season of nothing wasted and everything intentional just feels right.

What’s one thing you’ve started making from scratch instead of buying? 👇

🥛🌿 From Scratch… to Lesson Learned Tried my hand

🥛🌿 From Scratch… to Lesson Learned

Tried my hand at homemade farmer’s cheese using older raw milk — because around here we’re in our No Waste era. ♻️

I learned the process.
I followed the steps.
I stayed curious.

But sometimes learning looks like:
👉 cheese that turns pink
👉 a smell that says “hard no”
👉 one brave taste… instantly regretted

And you know what? That still counts.

This season is stretching me to:
✨ try new skills
✨ waste less
✨ pay attention
✨ trust my senses
✨ let “failure” teach me

Not every homestead moment is dreamy sourdough and golden butter.
Some are science experiments gone wrong.

And I’m still proud I tried.

Next batch will be better.
Lesson logged. Milk honored. Wisdom earned.

No Waste Broth 🤎 Starting a little “No Waste” ser

No Waste Broth 🤎

Starting a little “No Waste” series in the Wild Mama kitchen… because it feels so good to stretch the nourishment a little further.

After making beef shanks earlier this week, I saved the bones instead of tossing them. Tonight they went straight into the Instant Pot with:

🥩 leftover beef shank bones
🧅 onion
🧄 garlic
🌿 bay leaves
🌿 Italian seasoning
💧 water

2 hours in the Instant Pot and the whole house smells like slow, old-world comfort.

Rich, mineral-packed bone broth that we’ll use for soups, cooking rice, sipping in mugs, or adding to sauces this week.

This is the kind of kitchen rhythm I’m leaning into more and more lately…
✨ nothing wasted
✨ nourishment stretched further
✨ food made with intention

Our grandmothers did this without thinking. We’re just remembering again.

Do you save your bones for broth? Or is this something you want to start? Tell me below 👇

Crunchy Pantry Hack 🍗 Sometimes the best meals co

Crunchy Pantry Hack 🍗

Sometimes the best meals come from making it work with what you’ve got.

Tonight’s fried chicken cutlets happened because I opened the pantry… and realized we were completely out of gluten-free breadcrumbs. 😅

So I improvised the Wild Mama way:

✨ Crushed Boulder Canyon chips @bouldercanyon
✨ Crushed pork rinds @epicbar
✨ A little seasoning
✨ Chicken cutlets fried until golden

And honestly? It might be better than breadcrumbs.
Extra crunchy, full of flavor, and completely gluten-free.

One thing I’m learning on this slow living journey is that nourishing food doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it’s just about being resourceful and using what’s already in your kitchen.

Less waste.
More creativity.
Happy bellies around the table. 🤎

Have you ever used something unexpected as a breading before? Tell me your favorite pantry hacks 👇

Nothing Wasted. Everything Redeemed. 🌾✨

Today’s little homemaker win: turning old sourdough into fresh breadcrumbs instead of tossing it. 🥖🤍

There is something deeply satisfying about refusing to waste what once nourished us. Crusty ends + a few pulses in my trusty @ninjakitchen Foodi Power Mixer System and boom — golden, rustic crumbs ready for meatballs, meatloaf, crispy chicken tenders… all the cozy things. 🧆🍗

This is the shift we’re making in our home.
Less waste.
More intention.
More gratitude for what we already have. 🌿

It feels really, really good.

Do you save your stale bread or used to toss it? 👇
And what would you use these for first — meatballs or chicken tenders? 😋

🌱✨ The garden tried to humble me… and it did. ✨🌱

I bought a little greenhouse so I could get a head start on spring.
Didn’t secure it before a storm.

She blew over.
Seedlings everywhere.
Garden dreams temporarily crushed. 🌬️🥀

And instead of quitting… I went back to what I know.

Clear egg cartons.
Good soil.
Grow lights in my office.
Simple. Faithful. Slow. 🌿💡

Sometimes “fancy” isn’t better. Sometimes the old-school, nurturing, hands-on way is the way.

Also… my child planted approximately 7,000 tomato seeds in one carton. 🍅😂
So if you need tomatoes this summer, you know where to find us.

This is your reminder:
When it falls apart, plant again.
When the wind takes it out, rebuild softer.
Spring always comes. 🌸🤍

Woke up early this morning to get some work done in the kitchen. Fed my starter late last night, so it’s be ready for me this morning.

Loving this change of pace in life, as we enter a new chapter.

I’ve been practicing slowing my mind instead of fighting it.

Scripture coloring, prismacolors scattered across the table, quiet moments between motherhood and work…

Praying while I color.
Letting the Word settle in instead of rushing past it.

Active meditation.
Intentional rest.
Time with Him — one verse at a time. ✨

This is what intentional motherhood looks like in my kitchen. 👩🏻‍🍳

Whole ingredients.
Garlic.🧄
Chicken. 🍗
Brown rice ramen.🍜
Steamed veggies. 🥗

And adjusting plates without resentment.

He doesn’t like onions or mushrooms yet.
So I simply don’t put them on his plate.

We’re building trust with food — not power struggles.

Wild mama.
Soft heart.
Strong boundaries.

When coffee becomes nourishment. ☕️🧈 This is how

When coffee becomes nourishment. ☕️🧈

This is how I turn a morning cup of coffee into something that actually supports me.
Fats for steadiness.
Natural sweetness for balance.
Warming spices for circulation and digestion.

Coffee doesn’t have to be rushed.
It can be intentional.
It can be grounding.
It can meet you where your body is instead of pulling from it.

Decaf Kicking Horse, Swiss Water processed — a chemical-free method that gently removes caffeine while preserving the coffee’s natural flavor and integrity.

This is slow fuel for full days.
A ritual, not a rush.

🌼 Mimosa in bloom, captured gently. 🌼

This mimosa tincture was made slowly with fresh mimosa flowers + vegetable glycerin—sweet, floral, and soft on the senses. The scent alone feels like a deep exhale.

Mimosa has been traditionally loved for its nervine and heart-soothing qualities—often used to support emotional balance, gentle mood lifting, and calm during seasons of transition. Glycerin pulls out the plant’s subtle sweetness, making this tincture kid-friendly, alcohol-free, and easy to take.

To me, it tastes like spring settling into the body.
A reminder that softness can still be powerful 🌸

Not medical advice—just plant wisdom, reverence, and slow living.

✨ Have you ever worked with mimosa?

New Year’s Eve, but make it home ✨

Gluten-free Chinese food, made with the cleanest ingredients we could find — because celebrating doesn’t have to mean feeling crummy the next day.

Chicken katsu (the baby’s favorite 🥹),
egg flower soup,
and honey chicken on repeat.

No takeout boxes.
No pressure to be perfect.
Just good food, little hands reaching for seconds, and ending the year slow + together.

This is how we welcome what’s next 🤍

Learning stainless steel after years of cast iron

Learning stainless steel after years of cast iron felt… humbling 😅
But sometimes growth looks like re-learning the basics.

I loved my cast iron. Used it daily.
Until blood work gently showed me my body wasn’t detoxing the way it should.

So here I am.
Starting over.
Learning heat, patience, and timing.
Making eggs that don’t stick — and choices that feel more supportive.

This isn’t about fear.
It’s about listening.
And choosing what serves this season of my body + life 🤍

Always learning. Always becoming.

Our favorite cookie got a crunchy glow-up 🤎✨

Sourdough snickerdoodles, but make them healthy-ish with overnight fermentation 😏🍪
Thick ✔ chewy ✔ cinnamon-sassy ✔ and absolutely not sorry about it 😎🔥

Proof that “healthy” doesn’t have to taste like disappointment 🙌
These babies came out thick, soft, and obsessively delicious—the kind you grab 2… then 5… then blame the starter for 👀💅

Fermented overnight for easier digestion + that signature sourdough magic, without losing the soul of a classic snickerdoodle 🫶🌿

If you love cookies that:
✨ don’t crumble your heart
✨ don’t spike your blood sugar into orbit
✨ and taste like a hug with cinnamon on top
Then welcome home, mama. This one’s a keeper 😘

Made with intention,
eaten with zero regret 🤎
