Can’t Complain

June 17, 2010 by Hillary 14 Comments

There aren’t too many things I can complain about right now. Well, maybe the wind. I’m not a fan of windy weather. I suppose it’s another excuse to wear my cozy Uggs in the middle of June though. Despite the less than ideal climate, home life is pretty plush; the eats are particularly superb.

Waffle Wednesday

003

Van’s Organic – wahoo! – Flax Waffles

001

Half 1: Dad’s Homemade 0% Yogurt, S + B Berries, Organic Agave

002

Half 2: Flax P.nut Buttah + 1/2 Organic Banana

The following meal might be one of my very favorite dishes… ever! That’s huge, folks. I made this once last summer, and I’ve been anxiously awaiting peach season ever since.

Summer Salmon with Apricot Peach Salsa

[original recipe @ In Praise of Leftovers]

Life is tough.

Want to make the most-delicious tasting Omega 3’s?

Salsa:

Chop 2 small ripe peaches and 3-4 ripe apricots and place in a small mixing bowl. Add ~1/2 c. chopped onion, 1/3 c. chiffonade of fresh basil, and 1/2 – 1 whole [red or green] jalapeno pepper – finely chopped. Sprinkle with a couple teaspoons of sugar, a pinch of salt, and drizzle of olive oil.

Salmon:

Rinse and pat dry a filet of wild salmon. Brush meat with olive oil and place in a glass baking dish. In a small bowl, combine a few tablespoons of light brown sugar, salt and a pinch each of oregano and thyme. Rub onto oiled filet. Bake @ 450* until fish is opaque, approx. 12 minutes [depending on thickness].

Meanwhile, cook a pot of quinoa [or brown rice] for the whole grain base. Then assemble your summery salmon + salsa and enjoy by candlelight sunset.

Other good things:

  • Lunch at Renata’s Creperie with Miss Molly.

032

Buckwheat Crepe + Apple [subbed for chicken], Pear, Jack & Chevre Cheese, Onion, Chiffonade of Fresh Basil, Honey + Crème Fraiche

  • Jitter Bean daily.

008

I love lattes & they love me.

  • Sweet Tater Fries + Homegrown Arugula Salads.

031

Enough said.

  • Much-needed haircuts.

038

Hair is a serious matter.

Not only do I strive to keep my insides at their healthiest, but I also believe maintaining your outer beauty health is important too. I like to give my mane a healthy trim every 3-4 months. How important is skin/hair care to you? How often do you get your hairs trimmed?

  • Sweet Tater + Black Bean Balls + 3 hours of So You Think You Can Dance… I’m off!

XOXO,

Hillary

    I get my hair cut every 5-6 months…it’s bad. I usually wait until I can’t take it anymore and/or every end is split and ratty. My haircuts are expensive (to me) and I like my hair long!

    Juuuust might have to try that peach salsa! Sounds PERFECT for a ridiculously hot Florida night.

    I’m kind of obsessive about who touches my hair, so I only get it done every 4 months or so, usually… because it costs close to $70 every time. What can I say? Some things you just gotta splurge on :]

    My hair and skin is so important to me! Because I know I don’t get enough Omega-3’s (I kinda severely dislike most fish), I take fish oil which also has great effects on my hair and nails :)

    Oh, that salad looks really good!

    I take good care of my skin, but my hair gets cut only a few times a year.

    I just found out Renata’s Creperie does gluten free! (I think — I googled it. =P) I am *so* dragging my friend there next week.

    Wow, that salsa sounds absolutely lovely for a warm summer meal. The crepe and Waffle Wedn look great too, of course. Your hair looks so clean and healthy. I too strive to keep my hair and skin as healthy as possible without harsh chemicals and products. I also try to not wash my hair too often.

    GORGEOUS pics! Those waffles look incredible. I should definitely get my hair trimmed more often than I do – it’s super long and I need to maintain the ends so I can keep it long. Lots of deep conditioning. :)

    Hi!
    Your photography skills are great – I’m drooling over your waffles, salads, eats out and that heart-happy latte! Your hair is beautiful too.
    I used to have longish hair, but then I started to iron it, dye it, neglect it, etc. My poor hair started to break and turn brittle. When I realized what I had done I immediately trimmed it. I’ve been deep conditioning, taking vitamins and keeping those hot irons away and it has been growing back so quickly!

This rare blue sky day in February is having me da This rare blue sky day in February is having me day dreaming about long, light-filled summer days... they’ll be here soon.

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.
