Four-beautiful-quotes-for-happy-living

1. ‘Don’t put off your happy life.’ {a reminder that we should try to pursue happiness, in some small way, each and every day.}

2. ‘The best portion of your life will be the small, nameless moments you spend smiling with someone who matters to you.’ {so very true of my own life, this far.}

3. ‘Good things take time.’ {for the days when nothing’s happening quite quickly enough.}

4. ‘A strong marriage rarely has two strong people at the same time. It is a husband and wife who take turns being strong for each other in the moments when the other feels weak.’ {I love this idea, and think it applies to all relationships, not just a conventional husband-and-wife marriage. And I think it’s an important concept to be shared, because sometimes it’s easy to believe that a relationship should be as easy and 24/7-happy as the ones we see on TV, or on blogs, or Instagram, or in magazines. Jason and I describe it as us either ‘floundering or floating’ as opposed to being ‘strong or weak’ (because the words strong and weak are so very heavy, and don’t allow for many permeations), but the principle still rings true to us.}

Four-ways-with-eggs

 

Well hi! I hope you all had a delightful weekend? I most definitely did! A whole lot of miles were driven this weekend (all the way to Kent, plus a jaunt to Richmond too), my Mum and I spent a day in the glorious sunshine at the Wealden Midsummer fair, I had my first ever trip to Whole Foods (completely awesome!) and we also made a little stop by Hummingbird to pick up Red Velvets. Photos will be coming your way in the next couple of days (of course, this is a blog after all!) but until then, let’s start this week with new resolve, and good intentions, and some really great breakfast, shall we? :)

1. Soft boiled eggs with bacon-wrapped asparagus (beautiful enough to serve as a starter at a dinner party with friends).

2. Frittata with baby tomatoes, whipped goats cheese and fresh thyme (a make-ahead breakfast, for eating on the go).

3. Poached eggs (with the most gorgeous golden yolks!), with roasted Anaheim peppers + tomatoes (perfect for a leisurely weekend brunch).

4. Scrambled eggs on spelt toast, with caramelised baby tomatoes (for providing energy through long working days).

Four-frozen-treats

1 :: Raspberry zinfandel sorbet (shall we just take a minute to appreciate how amazing this sounds? Oh my. Too much for a Tuesday morning!)

2:: Rhubarb crumble icecream (which I think must taste like summer in a mouthful!)

3 :: No-churn mint chocolate chip icecream (so much more appetising than the usual day-glo green colour of mint flavoured icecream!)

4 :: PB & J icecream! (all of the goodness from a PB & J sandwich, but without all the bready-stodge! That basically makes this icecream saintly, right?)

p.s. I accidentally wrote two icecream-themed posts in a row. Guess I’ve got a craving, or something…
