Chasing truth, beauty, goodness, and all things naturally wholistic.

Faith over fear.

Ephesians 2:8-10

 

I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart since 2003. Together, we have four amazing children, by birth and adoption. When I am not teaching fine arts to my favorite upper school students at our incredible classical Christian school, I spend my days on our 7-acre property where I try my best to love my family well and experiment with hobby homesteading. My favorite things to do are cultivate my ever-expanding gardens, wrangle chickens, ferment all the things, sourdough bake with einkorn flour, and figure out new ways to use essential oils. I believe God has tasked us to be good stewards of our spaces in the world, and I guide my children to do the same.


I am a board member of The Sparrow Fund and an Empowered to Connect Facilitator. I love to dig in the dirt, cook nourishing food, capture beauty through my camera lens, watch the sunrise on the beach, and spend time with good literature on my porch while sipping on a hot cup of coffee.

Einkorn Gingerbread Cookies

Jump to recipe

It’s been almost a year since I committed to ditching white flour and switching to the ancient grain, Einkorn.  Experimentation has definitely been the name of the game for 2018, on multiple levels.  Not only have I transformed my health, I’ve really enjoyed working on my einkorn baking practices!  I still have a few more recipes I’d like to transfer (like the occasional cake), but I’m estimating we’re about 90% switched.

Everyone goes absolutely crazy for these Einkorn Gingerbread Cookies.  I’ve made two batches just in the last week, and they were all devoured again by my eldest daughter and her two friends.  Ha!  These babies are so soft and chewy, but I love that they aren’t overly sweet.  The molasses adds just the right tough, and the ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg pull the flavor together perfectly.  This recipe has definitely become a requirement for our Christmas baking tradition.

Make sure to hide a few for yourself before the kids get their hands on them!
