About Me

My name is Courtney, my maiden name Foret is French for Forest. I have always thought, what a beautiful intertwining of two of my heritages, French & Native American. Nature and family have always been at the center of my life. I grew up in a fisherman's town, learning the secrets of the water and tales of the forest. My grandmother taught me her ways around a garden. My mother on how to be sweet in and out of the kitchen. As time went on I learned to interpret the food I grew up loving into healthier just as delicious meals. I fell in love with learning the healing and nourishing properties of what the earth gave so freely.

​

My family is my everything. I have an adoring husband, we have a beautiful baby girl, and our mini dachshund and labrador are our shadows. This past year my little but growing family decided we wanted to establish roots in the country. A slower calmer way of living allowing room for our children to be wild and free in nature. I hope you feel at home here as I share with you our life in the country, wholesome recipes made to nourish, maybe some that are to indulge occasionally or regularly (whichever you prefer), and anything else I sprinkle in this mix is for you my reader and my family, Enjoy. ​

 

With love, 

Courtney​​​​
