In Praise of Sarah

January 21, 2010 by Hillary Leave a Comment

I can say with positivity that today was a much better day than yesterday…and I hope to say the same about tomorrow as well. Sadly, tomorrow is my last day at home. I leave Friday morning, making it exactly 5 lovely weeks of vacation – relaxing, family, a wee bit of work, rain, baking, coffee with friends, earthquakes, running, sleeping in (on occasion), and having way too much time on my hands to blog.

Tonight’s dinner was inspired by Sarah, at In Praise of Leftovers. This woman never ceases to amaze me each and every post she writes. Her written words are strung together artfully, and her rustic photographs are award-worthy…not to mention, she wears her heart on her sleeve.

This salad is in need of some praising!

local, organic mixed lettuces + herb roasted chicken + juicy mango + creamy avocado + crunchy sweet peppers + toasted almonds + spicy cilantro + honey sesame vinaigrette = orgasm in your mouth.

You want the recipe now, don’t ya? Ok…HERE.

Going to hit the hay. I have packed day tomorrow – literally – beginning with a rainy run…

~ Hillary

    What a lovely post about a lovely woman. She’s way better in person, if I might say so myself. Hope you get to meet her someday.

    Hi Hillary! I’m glad you had such a good vacation. I hope your re-entry into real life goes well.

    Thanks for the kind words and for being such an early supporter of my blog. Your salad looks delicious. We’ve got the winter blues up here, and this looks like just the thing. xo

    You REALLY need to go to Brio and have a cup of 1/2 muesli and 1/2 granola!

    Hey Missy ~
    Thanks for making and sharing Sarah’s yummy salad with me last night!…and thanks for all the other meals and baking that we shared together over the last few weeks. I’m really gonna miss you when you head back to school tomorrow, but you can bet I’ll be checking your blog daily. I’m so proud of you and so glad that you have found this passion for food, blogging, exercise and writing in your life – and it must be so much fun having all these new internet friends who clearly admire you, as do I!!! :) I’m heating up the last piece of leek-apple-potato pie – mmm!

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
