Ode to the Sea Beet (A Delicious Foraged Wild Edible)
Some plants, I write about. But when I’m oh so in love with a certain plant, and for very good reason, I let my dork flag fly and I dedicate a whole long poem to it. I hope you enjoy (and find it educational as well). Ode to the Sea Beet (A Delicious Foraged Wild […]
Foraging Wild Amaranth; Wild Edible Green and Pseudo Grain
I really love when there’s a plant that I forage and can write about that literally grows around the world. It makes me feel really connected to people around the world and in various cultures, despite our differences. Today’s plant that I wanted to talk about, slender amaranth, is exactly one of those. I saw […]
Foraging Black Nightshade — Solanum Nigrum and How to Identify It
This is a post that is a long time in coming and is one that I’m nervous about writing for a variety of reasons. One of the biggest things about writing this post is that it’s about a plant that for some reason is very controversial. Black nightshade. It has a reputation for being poisonous […]
Foraging, Foraging, Foraging…
I’ve been a super busy lady the past few days! It’s now spring break where I live and that means everyone is on vacation and looking for things to do with their family, which means that I, the one who has fun teaching people on their vacations, have been super busy teaching class after class […]
Foraging Wild Edibles in Poland- With Lots of Pictures!
Having never stepped foot in Poland before, I assumed that going there, I might recognize one or two different edible plants, and maybe do a drop of foraging.

Foraging Wild Swiss Chard or Sea Beet in my Backyard!

Paleo Update, and Insane Foraging and Extreme Frugal Food Shopping
I feel like those reading my blog for a while think I’m so inconsistent, and terrible with follow through, because I can’t count how many times I said I’d do something… and then fell off the bandwagon. But I think that’s life, and especially when there are a lot of things going on, its hard […]
Foraging Salsify or Goatsbeard- Delicious Wild Edible
When people first hear about foraging from me, a response I typically get is “Oh, so you eat grass?” I’ve noticed that most people who aren’t immersed in the world of wild plants sees large swaths of green and instead of noticing different plants, they just see a green blur, which they dub grass. I […]
My Completely Free Grocery “Shopping” Trip- Foraging and Salvaging
I just had a conversation with my publisher about my cover photography for my book, and what we want on it, as well as the photography for within the book, and then I realized that I don’t have the ingredients needed to make all these foraged items, and to get them, I’d have to go […]
My Foraging Book- Available to Buy
Many people have asked me where they can buy my adaptable foraging cookbook, Penniless Foodie in the Wild, filled with 65 delicious recipes, that I’ve been talking about and describing for many months already. Unfortunately, though I tried to get it up on Amazon in time for Christmas, I had technical issues with Amazon, and […]
