Blogging Inspiration

Met my friend 'Sas'sy (from Play Daze) for lunch today. We picked up our CSA boxes and talked about food (among many other topics) and the conversation came around to blogging inspiration. I've felt a little less than inspired with my posts recently. I realized that all I want to talk about is food. So, after my wonderful salad tonight comprised of heirloom lettuce (see gorgeous picture above), radishes, broccoli from my CSA box and a delish homemade dressing, I'm inspired. Don't be surprised if you see more food posting - I love food. I love to eat it, take pictures of it, talk about it, research recipes, spend hours in grocery stores, get up really early on a Saturday morning to go to the farmer's market, and grow it.

On that note, here is one of the coolest food sites I have ever seen - enjoy!

The first one...

of many more!

Foodini?

Not only am I a yogini, I am also a foodini - OK, sorry, foodie! I love food blogs. They have provided me with some of the most wonderful recipes and links to new and different brands to try out. And on that note, I am so happy to share with you my latest finding - a Food Blog Search site!

The Ride

There is something about riding a bike that thrills me. Not only do you get exercise, you can travel quickly to many beautiful destinations with the wind in your hair. This day I really needed something to uplift me - and this was perfect. A beautiful day, in a beautiful place and I felt like a little kid during summer vacation. What is more perfect than that?

Friday Night Treat(s)!

Fresh from the oven - oatmeal raisin cookies sans wheat flour and dairy. The secret? Lots of Maple Syrup - YUM!

Finally Sun

on the deck, in the sun
a few Muses were musing
a call from Ron
"big storm headed your way"

really?
tv turned on
weatherman says take cover!
clouds more ominous
tornado sirens blaring

last Muse arrives - big hugs around

then the hail, BIG hail
off to the basement
dirt, clutter, dogs and all

finally sun
and food
and laughter
and connection
