Meal Planning | week one


This is totally new for me so I’m not quite sure how I want to structure these Meal Planning posts…but I want to keep things loose and fun.

Chia Cherry Muffins


| chia cherry muffins | Could the name for these be any less sexy? Chia Cherry Muffins. Snore. But, there are actually a lot of really exciting things happening in here.

{ bakery farm stand }


{ aint it grand } I love that I live down the street from this. Today was one of those days that had zero plans and zero structure. I woke up, meandered out to the garden; watered and weeded and picked. Felt like I was livin’ off the land. Good feeling. Dropped off some of my garden goodies with family…

{ summer days }


{ chilled curried carrot soup with herb yogurt sauce } I love something that looks difficult but is actually pretty easy. I find that soup can be one of those things.
