I’m a firm believer that food doesn’t have to be complicated to be delicious. I make delicious food daily and it’s NEVER complicated. Trust me. I don’t have time for complicated. I need easy. Easy to remember recipes, simple ingredients, and fast recipes that are packed with nutrition and flavor. Right around the time I started Scratch to Basics, I began a food journey of my own. I’ve been wandering down the road of elimination diets and food sensitivities. I’ve learned that I feel best when I avoid certain foods. For that reason, most of the recipes you’ll see on the blog are gluten free, dairy free, and/or Paleo.
My family and I are on a journey towards living a simpler life, growing our own food, and spending time on things that matter most. We are paying more attention to where our food comes from, and what’s inside it. I believe we can make a difference by making sustainable choices to eat real food each day.
