july 28, 2012 dinner

oysters on the grill! dinner at my dad and stepmom's, out on their deck.

a pretty plateful of sirloin steak, lamb heart, japanese eggplant, caulliflower, mushrooms, heirloom tomatoes and blueberries. the veggies were basted in garlic oil and i wanted more of them. i only had a nibble of the heart (not feeling lamby) and half the steak.

saved room for my stepmom's homemade blueberry ice cream, made with fresh blueberries, coconut and rice milk. perfect!



july 15, 2012 breakfast

breakfast at the blue moose cafe in port townsend is the special of the day, a 'summer is here' scramble of eggs, chicken sausage, zucchini, yellow and red bell pepper, tomato and onion, with a side of strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, pineapple, purple grapes and bananas. 

july 7, 2012 breakfast

to call this breakfast is a bit of an overstatement. we ate this while rushing off to our volunteer post at mt. st. helens, after driving three hours from seattle and setting up camp. a nice parking lot backdrop for our breakfast of leftover egg cup and a smoothie of strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, coconut milk, egg white protein and chia seeds. we were ready to take on some trail maintenance!

mmm.. doesn't this look delicious?

how about now?

 green smoothies are one of the ugly ducklings of the breakfast world, i'll admit that right now. but this version, of spinach, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, coconut milk and a bit of egg white protein, was a nice change of pace from the standard eggs. although next time, i think i'll add a bit more fat to make it more satiating. maybe half an avocado or a spoonful of almond butter?
