My Huckleberry addiction continued on Sunday morning with my parents, sister, and Kyle. Since it was a weekend morning, the place was packed, but at least we got to watch them make bread while waiting in line. And ogle over the baked goods. Maple Bacon Biscuits. Whole Wheat Raisin Scones. Apple Almond Cake. Whole Wheat Fruit Slices. Zucchini Teacake. Blueberry Ciabatta. Flatbread of the day. Macaroons. Peanut Butter Cookies. Whole Wheat Shortbread Cookies. Ginger Teacake. Mini Chocolate Cupcakes. Chocolate Chip Cookies. So which look best to you? If they were vegan, I’d be all over… Read more >

After getting back from a weekend at home, I made myself a ridiculously ambitious to-do list. Mondays already suck, this was overkill. Moody monday coffee. After the caffeine hit my brain I was feeling energetic and began to tackle my list with a carpe-diem-style vigor. Bring it. Breakfast went from the above, to the below in ~30 minutes. Butternut banana oat cakes Texture-wise it still needs perfecting, so for now no recipe, but I’ll get it up soon. It held me over for hours. Crazy talk, right? When lunch time rolled around I had alittle… Read more >

I was craving a seasonal breakfast, but didn’t have any pumpkin on hand. What I did have though, was a butternut squash. You could cheat and use canned squash (they carry it at Whole Foods), but I decided to hack it with the real deal. Squash prep can be as hard or as easy as you want it to be. If you have a big a$$ knife, you’re good to go. The simplest (read: quickest) way to go is to forego peeling the skin off, chop it into large chunks, microwave it (in a glass… Read more >

Saturday was sponsored by the letter “b” apparently. Kyle and I woke up at 7 am to get in a morning jog. I hate working out early in the AM, but I love how it frees up the rest of the day. So conflicting. The reason I don’t like rise-and-shine cardio is because I suck at it. I’m slow in the mornings. I don’t really start to function until an hour (or two, if I’m being honest) after I’ve been awake. The route I took Saturday morning typically takes me 24 minutes (when I do… Read more >

I’ve been meaning to introduce you all to the vineyard for quite some time now…but I, myself, hadn’t been to Healdsburg in a while. Fortunate for you, my Grandpa was kind enough to remind me that I was long overdue for a visit. And fortunate for me, I remembered to bring along my camera. Hello Zinfandel. Kyle and I left bright and early to arrive in Dry Creek Valley just as the clouds were clearing out. It may be summer, but Sonoma mornings are still a tad overcast with AM fog. In case you are… Read more >
