Omega 3s Please

January 9, 2011 by Hillary 12 Comments

Sometimes I get the urge to put effort into making dinner.

020

…but most of the time I prefer to let someone else wear the apron in the evening.

I think it was all of the restaurant eating this week that gave me the urge to cook a simple, “clean” meal tonight.

Wild Salmon w. Lentils & Arugula

Recipe Courtesy: Whole Living Magazine

As a pescatarian [mostly vegetarian], I often fail to eat enough protein in the evening; I rarely finish dinner with a feeling of satiety, resulting in the usual nightly battle with my serious sugar struggle.

my fellow veggies:

What are your favorite protein-packed, easy to prepare dinner recipes?

Have a wonderful, wintery week!

P.S. I had fun up-dating my ‘about me’ page today ;)

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

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:

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

  • Jitter Bean daily.

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

❷⓿❷⓿ - moved clear across the country to ❷⓿❷⓿

- moved clear across the country to a new state for the second time
- hopped from one AirBNB to the next for 6 weeks while looking for a house to call home
- made new friends, virtually & IRL
- binge watched more TV shows than I can recall
- leveled up as an entrepreneur: hitting milestones with my virtual assistant and @beautycounter businesses
- voted for a new president 
- ascended new trails and explored alpine lakes of the Pacific Northwest 
- adapted: to Zoom holidays, takeout, and masked faces becoming the (temporary) norm

This challenging year was all about appreciating the little things while living through some really BIG things. 2020 had more than a few lessons to teach us all. Through a pandemic, pivotal change in presidency, and loud cry for human rights, I see very clearly how privileged I am. It was the year to let go of plans and lean in to a new perspective. 

After all, hindsight is ②⓪②⓪.

Best thing about 2020... for me, it’s been relationships - virtual and IRL.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of the goals that I set for 2020 was to make one new local friend in Seattle (seriously something I wrote down as I began the new year moving across the country). While I’m happy to say that I did so (during a pandemic), I feel fortunate for the virtual friendships that developed, too.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’ve gotta take a second to give a shoutout to my newest soul sista @weeksofwonder. You helped me get after it during my second year of entrepreneurship with a hefty dose of #2020 mayhem. 🙏🏼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Wendy and I met here on IG, and what started as a business relationship and accountability partner has turned into a special bond that transcends any walkie-talkie or social media app. This creative spirit has not only inspired me to get after it and dream bigger as an entrepreneur, but in the same way has encouraged me to honor rest and play: whether it’s giving each other kudos on Strava for tackling a run, building badass business plans and packages, or simply holding space to share the wins and the many woes, personally and professionally, of a memorable year. Having Wendy in my corner has led to some serious momentum and a sense of consistent community.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2020 has been a shit show, but it delivered GRL PWR 👊🏻⁣⁣

We want to hear from YOU: Who has been your supportive soul sister through the ups and downs of 2020? ⁣⁣
