Weekending with Mom

October 20, 2013 by Hillary 12 Comments

Being a tourist in New York City must have gotten to me because when my mom visited for our annual autumn mother-daughter weekend, I had my camera on hand at all times. It really couldn’t have been a better fall weekend. Mom-and-me time is my favorite.

 << Friday Night >>

flatbread

mushroom bruschetta // persimmon pomegranate salad // apple arugula flatbread (not so good) // Mama’s New Zealand vino 

My mom rolled into town right when I got off work (TGIF!); we both needed to stretch our legs, so a short walk was in order before trying a new restaurant on the opposite side of town: Wine Time. Note: I haven’t acquired a taste for wine (gasp!), but I was curious about their food menu. Our small plate choices had potential, but were sub-par to my standards (a.k.a. flour-y, dry flatbread).

Our lighter dinner left us room for a stop at one of my favorite ice cream shops for seasonal pumpkin ice cream – yum.

<< Saturday >>

market

grub

lettuce

fruit

chai

toes

salad

canyon

paradise

dinner

blue skies and crisp leaves at the FM // fresh greens // CA grown // Chico Chai // pedicures // lunchtime salads // canyon ridge near Paradise // healthy, comfort food: Butternut Squash, White Bean, and Kale Ragout over polenta 

We didn’t waste any time on Saturday. We were up and out of bed by 7:00am. I whipped up a couple of bowls of creamy steel cut oats to fuel us through our morning… and the rest of our sun-filled, delicious day!

<< Sunday >>

walk

leaves

pancakes

yum

okra

gourd

wagon

smile

hayride

brisk early morning walk through Bidwell Park // homemade pumpkin (pecan) pancakes // traditional trip to the pumpkin patch + my “knuckle head” pumpkin 

Sunday got an even earlier start, as we had some shopping to squeeze in, too ;)

That’s a wrap. Time for bed. See you soon!

    What a fun mom/daughter weekend. I absolutely love when my mom comes to visit. I feel like we don’t have enough time to fit all of our talking in. Lots of walks and trips to farmers’ markets!

    What a fun weekend. I love spending time with my mom and am so excited to do the same this weekend. You look so happy :)

    How you don’t like wine though is beyond me… ;)

    Such cute photos!

    Too bad the restaurant wasn’t better…I’m surprised you don’t like wine! Hey, I guess it saves you money! Sometimes I wish I didn’t love beer & wine so much to save money, but then I remember it’s worth it. Haha.

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.
