babyromanesco-1

those of you have been following me for a while {thank you, and welcome to the newcomers!} know that i am obsessed with romanesco. and clearly, i’m also obsessed with “baby” foods… as in, super tiny versions of amazing fruits and veggies.

well, you can imagine my excitement when i saw BABY ROMANESCO at my local grocery store!!?!? i will say, it is not at all organic and it is not at all in season… however, it is still magical!!!

{a lovely walk around the lake}

once upon a time in february it was 70 degrees, and I walked around a lake in a t-shirt…

walkaroundthelake-1walkaroundthelake-3

along the way, i spotted lots of beautiful and interesting things… like naked trees and cracks in the earth…

walkaroundthelake-18walkaroundthelake-19

like, crazy amounts of cracks… like the earth is erupting from below!..

walkaroundthelake-5walkaroundthelake-6

along the way, i also spotted crazy amounts of geese… walking around, and walking on ice…

walkaroundthelake-23walkaroundthelake-25

and speaking of ice, i spotted parts of the lake that were still frozen and parts that were melting…

walkaroundthelake-7walkaroundthelake-8

it was a lovely site… the wind blew crazy in my face and yet the sun on my face kept me crazy warm…

walkaroundthelake-9walkaroundthelake-10

the clouds were very interesting… and this picture looks like an alien ship about to land!…

once upon a time, i saw interesting patterns in the ice… and in my shadow…

and in the geese’s {is that right?!} foot prints…

and then… one of the geese flapped his wings… and a ton of birds flew by…

like most pet-owners, i’m a little obsessed… and i’m pretty much in love with my cat. ❤

i mean, how can i not be – look at how cute my callee kitty is!!!!

calleegrrl-8calleegrrl-7

i love it when she stands like this or when she looks at me like that…

calleegrrl-11calleegrrl-5

and i love her crazy long whiskers and when her ears go back like this…

calleegrrl-2calleegrrl-3

she’s mildly playful, and also easily annoyed when her claws get stuck in things…

calleegrrl-4calleegrrl-1

and it’s fun when you scroll through film and find pics like these! 😀

i’m just in love with my cat! ❤

{the intricate, cool, and colourful cabbage}

3 Feb

colourfulcabbage-3colourfulcabbage-4

i am truly fascinated by nature. nothing makes me feel more connected than LIFE itself… you know, the being alive part, not the stuff we fill our lives with. food gives me a feeling that is unlike anything else. when i chop up vegetables, i stand in awe for a minute and marvel at what is before me. i am taken aback every single time i cut a cabbage in half. it blows my mind… i always find myself thinking, “BUT WHY?! why do you grow like that?!” …not to mention that stunning colour!

it truly does amaze me that nature has such intricacies about it. romanesco is one of the biggest food wonders, in my opinion. cabbage is a close second. i am also fascinated by swiss chard. sometimes i look at food and think about how similar it is to us, to humans… so many details going on inside and out. my hope is that we can all try to be a little more like food, like nature. be more of the BEING and not just the human.

i digress. 

i hope you enjoy these fotos i took while feeling inspired by this cool, intricate cabbage.

when i flipped it upside down, i thought it kind of represented a face. 😉

{nature’s paintbrush : rainbow swiss chard}

don’t you just love “baby” foods!?!?

i love swiss chard for so many reasons! not only is it good for you and high in vitamins like A and C, but it has a mild flavour and is great either raw or cooked. i adore all the colours – they are why i like to call swiss chard “nature’s paintbrush.” 🙂

in honour of resolutions and commitments to a healthier life and all that jazz… and just because i truly believe in this lifestyle, i want to present a gentle reminder – don’t forget to “eat the rainbow!” as in : plenty of colourful foods, including lots of fruits and vegetables!

– baked purple sweet potato

– roasted cabbage w/ bacon bits

kaniwa w/ sautéed garlic and onion
