I’m Shaye and I’m so glad you’re here. Seventeen years ago my family and I embarked on a journey to live an intentional lifestyle here on our homestead in rural Washington.
We’ve sowed and reaped, tried and failed, laughed and cried and realized that the greatest thing we’re creating is a beautiful life made of all our ordinary moments.
We are so honored to invite you behind the scenes with us and to inspire you to cultivate the ordinary beauty in your own life.
Welcome to our home.
Helping you cook for the people you love!
Come cook alongside us in our Cooking Community — a vibrant, encouraging place to learn how to feed your people well.
With an ever-growing recipe library of over 475 from-scratch recipes, step-by-step videos, a private forum, app-accessibility, and hundreds of members worldwide, you’ll learn to cook simply and confidently, bringing joy and nourishment back to the table.
“I have made so many of your recipes and I have never had one fail me! honest! I have never been able to say that about cookbooks or cooking shows I’ve watched. In addition, I have found your videos extremely helpful, informative, and encouraging. The videos have helped me grow in my cooking abilities as I am a visual learner. Lastly, I have learned so much about cooking healthy, whole foods. You have inspired me to try things I would not have cooked or eaten before.” — Christine, TCC member
