Meet Becky from Becky Buttles Americana

Hi there, nice to meet you! Welcome to my corner of the world here in Northeast Wisconsin. I’m a wife and mama to our sweet doggie Sadie. My passion is living and encouraging a healthy lifestyle through home-cooked meals, movement and embracing Mother Nature.

I believe everyone from all walks of life needs a strong healthy mind and body to be the best versions of themselves.

Here you’ll find simple recipes made with whole nourishing foods. From main meals to side dishes and everything in-between, you’ll be sure to find recipes your whole family will love. Your home cooking journey doesn’t need to be complicated or bland tasting. With a little experience, scratch-made meals become intuitive and easy to accomplish.

You’ll also find gardening, food preservation advice and healthy living ideas here as well.

Gardening is a wonderful skill to have in today’s world. It positions you to have more control of your health and finances. While there is an upfront cost to gardening and preserving, the effort is well worth the reward.

Imagine having a well-stocked pantry, your own grocery store so-to-speak, from jars of food you grew and preserved. Trust me, the sense of accomplishment and peace of mind is so satisfying! It’s my joy to teach and encourage you along your home-grown journey.

When I’m not cooking and growing my own food, I spend as much time with my husband Luke as I possibly can. He works on a large dairy farm so our hours together are short but sweet! We like to workout together, go on bike rides and take Sadie hiking in many of Wisconsin’s beautiful state parks. We also love road trips around the state, especially to Door County. It’s our favorite place to visit besides sunny Florida.

We love our small town community and devote a lot of time to our church and the FFA Alumni. Luke is also a volunteer on the local fire department and oftentimes I help with fundraising events.

When I have alone time, I like to read and learn how to improve my cooking and gardening skills. I’m also an aspiring painter. I love how colors dance together across a blank canvas to create a masterpiece.

On top of that, photography is also a huge passion for me. Before Luke, I had a professional portrait photography business, inspired by my time at a local news station. Now my food blog keeps my love of photography going strong.

As you can see, my life is full and blessed! Thanks for stopping by my blog. It’s my pleasure to accompany you on your journey to health and vitality. Let’s connect soon through my blog posts, Instagram, Facebook or Pinterest!

With Love, Becky
