Breakfast

I frequently get into food obsessions where I tend to eat the same foods over and over until I finally get bored and move onto the newest one. I'm talking for months at at time here. The newest is this granola that I make weekly for breakfast. Before that, breakfast was toast with peanut butter and sliced bananas. That particular obsession lasted a good two years.

Today I did something completely out of character and made a banana/berry/yogurt/flax meal smoothie.

I know. WHOA!!!

Who knows what might happen next. I might really shake it up and eat lunch tomorrow at 1:30.

SUNflowers

Friday, we hosted a dinner party for our dear friends visiting from Phoenix. No one likes 115 degrees in July so they escape each summer to the Northwest. Ms. Phoenix lovvvess lemons so the menu centered on them. I made this recipe and a tasty lemon tart for dessert.





We are lucky to have such great people in our life.

Welcome

Warm evenings, walking the garden with a cool glass of pinot gris (current favorite King Estate), appreciating the pay off of hard work.




I love summer!
