Why Choose Organic Ingredients?

Organic food, farming, and sustainability are very important to me. I founded the first organic brick and mortar bakery in the country and ran it for over 10 years until I sold it to focus on this blog. We eat solely organic in our house and put importance on sustainability and locally sourced ingredients whenever possible.

So, of course my recipes are all made with organic ingredients. When using one of my recipes I list the exact organic ingredients that I used, incase you want to check them out!

I believe organic goes beyond just a label, it’s a way of life. Not taking shortcuts and not using processed or packaged ingredients go hand in hand with living organically. So you can count on my recipes to have minimal ingredients, no boxed mixes, and no shortcuts that will sacrifice flavor or health. Just pure and simple food for healthy eating and indulgence, because you gotta have both in life!
