I’ve been truly terrible this summer at documenting our local eats. Sorry for that!

Last year I recorded every single meal and snack we ate, and all of the drinks we had! It was quite an undertaking, and I decided I wanted to take it easy this year by just posting when I was really excited about a meal. I’ve been taking lots of photographs, but keep forgetting to share them! So, here’s a breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack for you!

| breakfast |

I loved this bowl of GrandyOats granola more than all others because those blueberries and blackberries were handpicked by me, Ryan, my Dad, and my uncle, from the very mountain that I grew up on. The strawberry is from a local farm!

| lunch |

Here’s a big bowl of everything we bought at the Farmer’s Market one week! A big + super filling salad! We’ve been putting fruit on our salads this summer, it’s very tasty and refreshing.

Ryan and our friend Andy made this pizza from scratch! Dough and all — super impressive, right?  The only thing about it that’s not local is a bit of yeast and sugar!

| snack |

Some little scone-like treats that Ryan made awhile ago! They’re maple-oat, yum! The flour, maple syrup, oats, eggs, butter, etc. were all local in this. Just a touch of sugar and baking powder were not. Still, they were such a nice little between-meal munchie with a bit of butter spread on top!

Thanks for stopping by!

Anniversary!

FOUR

YEARS

TODAY

 It was four years ago today that Ryan and I decided to be together.

Since then, it has been quite a ride! We’ve moved to a new State, travelled overseas, adopted some darling little cats, and grown a whole lot together.

Thinking back to 2007, I can’t believe how different we were! Together we’ve discovered vegetarianism, locavorism, vintage collecting, and a considerable number of other things that have come to be a part of who we are. Our first apartment was a mish-mash collection of stuff we had been given by our parents to fill the space, and things we’d personally accrued throughout our single years.

Now our home has been tastefully curated to include things that we’ve found together, happy memories, and family heirlooms. We’re paring down on the stuff, and carefully deciding our next step. It’s a really exciting time in our lives, and I’m so thankful to have such a forgiving, loving, open-minded partner to share it all with.

Thank you, Ryan. I love you :)
