Ingredient Note:
The ingredients I use throughout my recipes reflect my personal food philosophy, which prioritizes whole, minimally processed foods and higher-quality options when available, such as organic produce, pasture-raised or grass-fed meats, and responsibly sourced ingredients. I encourage choosing these options when they are accessible to you, but they are not required to make a delicious and nourishing meal. Use the ingredients that work best for your lifestyle, preferences, and budget.
