About

Hi, I’m Cerissa.

I’m just a girl who loves food and books, nature and family.  I can be a homebody who enjoys growing my own garden and being self-sufficient on my one acre of land.  But sometimes just one acre is not enough and I need to go wander and adventure in the great wide world. A Wandering Homebody.

When I’m home, I enjoy cooking with as many farm fresh ingredients as possible and making simple, good food for my family.  You might find me at the local farm, farmer’s market or working (and cursing) in my own garden.  Often I’m in the kitchen, prepping food from our CSA for the week.  Or sometimes just curled up reading with my cats.

If you’re looking for me out there in the world,  you can usually find me chasing my kids up a hiking or biking trail or running around the beach.  Or if I’m lucky, in the mountains skiing or camping with my family.

But right here is where I share my journey to find the balance in life. The balance between home and the world, between being a mom and a woman and a wife, between everyday extremes.  I will share some recipes that I actually eat, stories about my family and our adventures and challenges, what I love and what I’ve learned.

If you have any questions or just want to get in touch, you can reach me here.

See you around,

Cerissa
