Coconut Zucchini Muffins

August 18, 2012 by Hillary 1 Comment

Today was all about food. Not intentionally. It just happened to pan out (pun intended) that way.

I was in the kitchen stirring up a storm most of the day, and when I wasn’t, I was shopping… for food.

First it was Quick Cinnamon Quinoa Pancakes (with almond butter, banana, hemp seeds and real maple — ohh, yes!).

Note: don’t foget the baking powder when making pancakes. My iced coffee hadn’t kicked in obviously.

Then at the farmer’s market, I filled my turquoise Chico Bag with plump purple figs, sungold tomatoes, six sunset nectarines, and a couple big handfuls of greens. 

After a sunny 1-mile afternoon swim, I was back in the kitchen to throw together a simple lunch. 

A Trader Joe’s run came next for weekly staples: bananas, more leafy greens, and dark chocolate. 

A bag of flour and coconut oil ended up in my basket, too, for a recipe.

Baking in the middle of a hot August day. 

Yes… isn’t that what the AC is for?

I realize I recently made a loaf of Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread, but these are muffins — you know how I feel about my muffins.

Plus, zucchini isn’t in season for ever.

Summer will end. Sorry to burst your bubble.

So make ’em while you can.

…and even if the chocolate chips are “optional”, you know what the right decision is ;)

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.
