Since summer is berry season, I’ve been unable to hold back when I see cartons of them for super cheap at the farmer’s market. It’s getting to be a problem. But honestly, they’re so bright and beautiful! So I have been freezing lots of them so I can have fresh organic summer berries year round. Even though I’m front loading the cost now, I’m pretty sure it’ll end up being cheaper than buying frozen organic fruit in winter. Plus this fruit is at it’s height of ripeness. You can’t get that in the freezer aisle…. Read more >

I realize this post is hardly timely. We didn’t get back from the city until Monday evening and then I worked two nights in a row though…sooo…what can you do? Truthfully, my weekend recaps are my own selfish way of documenting our memories forever and ever. If others enjoy them, great! So let’s back track to Saturday. I was recovering from a few night shifts so we kept the day mellow. I ate at odd times and didn’t get close to capturing everything I ate on film. Did you know sleep deprivation can make… Read more >

Back to the flatbread! Are your tomato plants going bonkers yet? Mine is just on the cusp of it. So far, just a modest steady stream. A handful or so every couple of days. It’s cool though. I got a late start planting my garden due to our move. But I have neighbors and coworkers with gardens and they are hooking. it. up! Remember when I was pregnant and wanted all things tomato? To be clear, I’m not pregnant. But I do think that the tomato cravings lingered around. Same with my love affair… Read more >

Another weekend filled with outings and travel and showing off our little man! Starting with a leisurely Friday. Since I finally polished off the last of the millionth loaf of banana bread I made, I decided to bake a new somethin’ somethin’. More on the above [oatmeal caramel creation] later… This is my new favorite meal. It’s been on repeat, so don’t be surprised if you keep on seeing it. That’s an egg/avo combo on toasted Essential Baking Co bread with a side of veggies (tomatoes from my garden). Look I finally… Read more >

I know everyone loves summer produce, so why bother write a love letter to strawberries? We all love berries and melon and corn right? Right. Another present from my neighbor. I’m going to make ginger lemonade with the juicer. My own garden is doing pretty well too! Left to right: lime tree, spinach, tomato, parsley & basil. And then there’s the other greens… Kale and chard (in mega need of thinning out). I had my first salad with them last week. This delightful lunch time salad had home-grown kale and chard topped… Read more >
