Pink ‘n’ Orange

August 9, 2010 by Hillary 12 Comments

You might be a little surprised by the presence of this post, as I should be on the road headed east right about now, but nope… I’m still here! I’ve delayed my departure ‘til tomorrow. Unfortunately, that means a shorter turn around between Chico + Chicago, but there are still a few unfinished jobs to be done.

Last night I made dinner for my parents, as I thought it would be my last meal at home for the summer. In doing so, I crossed off two more items from my list*.

To make/bake before Monday Tuesday:

  • Blueberry Peach Crisp *
  • Cookies
  • Granola
  • Mama Pea’s Tofu *
  • Pesto

I made Mama Pea’s Honey Lime Tofu + Strawberry Peach Salsa recipe to the T. My parents were a bit surprised to see strawberries on top of their savory tofu, but no one left any leftovers.

The peachiness continued moments later as I served them Peach Blueberry Crisp for dessert.

Peach Blueberry Crisp II

[original recipe @ Health on the Run]

Filling
  • 6-7 large peaches, peeled
  • 1 – 1 1/2 c. blueberries
  • 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
  • 3 T pure cane sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
Topping
  • 3/4 c. rolled oats
  • 1/4 c. whole wheat flour
  • 1/3 c. brown sugar
  • 1/3 c. unsweetened coconut
  • 6 T unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 tsp. salt

Cut peaches into large chunks and place in a mixing bowl with blueberries. Add flour, sugar, and vanilla; toss gently. Place into a deep baking dish of some nature.

In a smaller bowl, mix together topping ingredients, distributing the butter evenly. Place on top of fruit mixture. Bake @ 350* for 45-50 minutes until browned and bubbly.

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. We ate it a la carte tonight; the ice cream wasn’t missed.

SO much to do today it’s scary! I can’t believe the week of HLS is actually here! I’ve got my usual pre-travel butterflies.

Later…

Hillary

    I’m a blue type of gal, all the way. Mostly the lighter to medium tones, but hey, I’ll take a dark blue as well.

    Crisp all the way.

    Do you live in Chico? I am moving from San Diego to Oregon in 3 weeks and we are spending the night at a hotel in Chico on the 30th. Would you be interested in a blogger meetup?

    I love any hot dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Crisp, cobbler, pie, anything. The hot-cold combo is unbeatable.

“Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. “Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. George Papanicolaou

It’s no secret that I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks. Or at least I don’t intend it to be. Because while there can be a lot of shame and embarrassment around both of these, I know I’m not alone in my experiences. While I’ve leaned toward the more anxious side most of life, my bothersome anxiety has steadily increased since my mid-twenties - some periods being worse than others. 

It’s not a complete surprise that my mental health has taken a dip during my first full gloomy Seattle winter — in the height of a pandemic. 

Here are some ways I have been nurturing my body & mind as I work with a team of practitioners to work on understanding the **root causes** of my panic, and to live with more ease. 

» no coffee (not even decaf)

» meditating regularly - I’m using @insighttimer 

» gentle movement

» weekly therapy sessions

» attempting cold showers (this is hard for me!): if you’re interested, you can research how this impacts the nervous system

» working with a naturopathic doctor to focus on gut + hormone health

» trying a new Rx - a decision that took years of consideration

» lastly, opening myself up to vulnerable conversations/sharing my story and my experiences in efforts to reduce any shame and connect with others 

I am not my anxiety.

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.
