"Nothing would be more tiresome than eating and drinking if God had not made them a pleasure as well as a necessity." ~ Voltaire

By now, the scents of home cooking - freshly-ground coffee, pungent garlic, earthly herbs - are infused into our home's walls, walls that have held together countless parties and impromptu gatherings. We are serious foodies. In our home, we love to enjoy the bounty of pure, real, unprocessed food, and thanks to our farm store Urban Acres and our own backyard, we have lots of local, artisan goods at our fingertips.

People are often asking me for my favorite healthy, real food recipes, so I thought I'd share them here, all in one place.

I'm one of those girls who would rather throw some meat, veggies, and herbs together to make a meal out of whatever I have on hand, but when I do want a recipe, these are my "go-to's."

I hope you enjoy them!
