Over the weekend Walker and I went to see the tulips in Skagit Valley with a couple of our friends. I heard the fields were pretty but I really didn’t realize it was going to be absolutely breathtaking. The colors and shapes were so intense. I think we all just took turns exclaiming how pretty everything was. It was quite remarkable to see so many tulips in one place. Also we got super lucky with the weather. All day rain was in the forecast but while we were in the fields the sun was shining. Perfection.

Walker hijacked my camera so of course he got the more vivid shots but I got a few alright ones with my phone. After we all took our fair share of photos (it was so hard to choose which ones to share) we drove by a few more fields before heading into town for a post tulip looking drink and some food. It was a perfectly lovely day. If you live around this area I highly recommend you visit the tulip fields. Make sure to wear your rain boots because it was muddy out there.

Traditional english breakfast with a twist

April 9, 2013

This past weekend I wanted to make Walker and myself a more filling and savory breakfast. As of late our weekday breakfasts have been on the colder and sweeter side. Having more time on Saturday morning I was able to make a feast. I decided to make a traditional English breakfast with a twist.

Our breakfast was completely vegan. But even Walker agreed it wasn’t lacking in flavor. Want to try your own this weekend? Here’s how:

-a can of baked beans (I used an organic one)
-spinach steamed (I put a little lemon juice on mine and it was delicious)
-a loaf of french bread cut in half and toasted
-sausage links (I used tofurkey but you could use regular if you prefer)
-button mushrooms sauteed
-broiled tomato halves
-and of course we made some breakfast tea served with almond milk

Enjoy!

If you try it out let me know what you think!

Our easter sunday

April 1, 2013

Yesterday for Easter we went to church in the morning with our friends and then we were invited to a brunch afterwards. We played some corn hole or bean bag toss (whichever you call it), ate some tasty foods, and tried to be in the sun as much as possible. The weather was crazy amazing yesterday. Yeah!

After we ate we took a walk to a nearby park to see a really great view of the city. It was pretty cool. Once Walker and I got home we rested a bit (being in the sun all day is exhausting) but we headed back out to see the sun set. Clear evenings are rare around here so watching the sun set was pretty great. Plus we got a rare chance to get up on the rooftop of our building.

I hear there is going to be at least 3 more days of really great weather until rain maybe? So basically this week is going to be unproductive. Ha! Oh well it’s worth it.
