Simple, Yet Elevated Healthy-ish Recipes, Wellness Tips, Clean Products
Prickly Fresh Recipes are clean, healthy-ish and slightly elevated. I thoroughly enjoy trying new flavors and experimenting with new spices. There are many Prickly Fresh recipes in the archive that combine flavors you may not have thought of before and I urge you to try them. All of the recipes are rather simple and usually 30 minutes or less.

There are so many other areas of our lives where we have to follow the rules and I don't want the kitchen to be one of those places for you. There are no rules. Anything goes. Experiment, mix things together, try new things.
I want you to adapt these recipes to you and your families likes and dislikes. Create your own traditions and concoctions with them. In the end, it's all just food. You never know, sometimes there are happy accidents, and you can create something delicious.

One of my favorite treats in the summer is a lemon bar. You know, the one with the gooey, tangy lemon curd and a shortbread crust? YUM. Recently I’ve been obsessed with mangos, so I wanted to try to make
