Eat Up August

August 3, 2013 by Hillary 7 Comments

I hope ya’ll (I laugh every time because I’m the farthest thing from a Southern girl) are enjoying the new month so far. Here’s to getting the bang out of our buck in terms of soaking up all things summer before fall creeps in. If your August is off to a sluggish start, I’ve got some suggestions to eat up August in the most delightful of ways!

august

1. Make coffee pancakes on a Sunday.

2. Freshen up the kitchen table with flowers from the farmer’s market.

3. Stuff yourself with {vegan} coconut-stuffed ice cream.

4. Treat your feet to a bright pedicure.

5. Eat watermelon & drink it, too >> Watermelon Margaritas!

6. Whip up a batch of Peach Berry Buttermilk Muffins for brunch with friends or fam.

7. Aim for abs. Try this plank workout on the beach; bikini season isn’t over yet!

8. Savor salad season >> Chickpea & Peach Farm Salad | Easy Summer Veggie Salad | Raspberry Pistachio-Crusted Goat Cheese Salad

9. Send a “just because” note via snail mail.

10. Keep your freezer stocked with chocolate dipped frozen bananas… all month long.

    Coffee pancakes? Seriously? Where have those been all my life! I’m definitely going to look into that recipe :). I also love the idea of sending a “just because” letter. Sometimes it’s the little things in life!

    When I saw Jenna’s pancakes last week, my mouth instantly began to salivate! I definitely need to do some cooking with watermelon. I didn’t like it for the longest time, but it’s growing on me :) HAPPY AUGUST!

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.
