short, dark & handsome

IMG_0238

Strawberries are still ruling my life. And I’m hoping to go picking this week! Must.make.it.happen.

I woke up super thirsty and super hungry today. Makes me wonder if I should be waking up at 3am to satisfy these needs! But nah, I need the sleep more.

I made a lovely bowl of yogurt, banana, Whole Foods Honey Bunches, strawberries, banana, chia seeds and sunflower butter.

Served with a short dark & handsome mug of Irish Breakfast Tea.

After this post, I have one more blog post to write, then a trip out for a few items for dinner, then bakery fun [work], then a long conference call in preparation for a panel I’m speaking on at BlogHer Food and then yoga! All simple tasks lined up in a row for a complete day – how I like ‘em!

    Do you have any recommendations for where to go strawberry picking near Cville? I am planning to go this weekend too!

        you can always go to chiles in crozet. if you want a no-spray option, liberty mills farm in somerset, or miller farms in locust grove. i have never been to either of these (just saw it posted on pnoc). we have our own little snacking patch here that the kids love (if you walk by you can have a few and some salad greens too)! i have also heard that new branch farm is no-spray (although not with a pick your own option, they are at saturday farmer’s market). we belong to bellair csa and they have a no-spray pick your own this week.

        I definitely understand your hesitation on the car time. Still, if you make a day (or half-day) of it, and really load up on berries, it might be worth it, especially if the place is using organic practices, not spraying, etc. (conventional strawberries are #3 on the “Dirty Dozen” list of foods to buy organic).

        If you have space in the freezer, strawberries are relatively easy to freeze. Just cut the stem out and freeze the whole berries in freezer bags. You can pull out local berries to add to smoothies or make fruit topping for pancakes and waffles all year long. If you don’t have time to pick your own, but still want a larger quantity, you could ask vendors at the farmers’ market about a discount for buying an entire flat of berries.

    Sounds like a full but very productive day ahead! I wish I was going to Blog Her Food this year.. it was in my original plans, but then I decided that I’d fly to Vancouver this August for the Lululemon half marathon with one of my long-time girlfriends so blog conferences had to be put on hold. Hoping to make it next year though! Have a great day Kath!

    I love strawberries too, I bought some this weekend and they were so sour, the only way to fix that was eating them with whipped cream!! I also love picking them, my grandparents have a big garden and they grow all the veggies and fuits so I rmmeber as a child I always was so excited fpr the strawberry and cherry season to pick them fresh and eat right away!!

    Yum! Makes me crave some strawberries. I would wake up hungry during pregnancy, usually around 4am, so I would keep a snack bag of dry cereal next to the bed and just take a few handfuls so I wouldn’t have to get out of bed! 🙂

    You cannot beat a good cup of Irish tea! What brand do you drink? If possible, I think anyone who likes tea should try and get their hands on Barry’s Gold Blend. What real Irish lads and lassies drink!

    Your yogurt bowls always looks super yummy! Do you always use plain Greek yogurt?

      It was Golden Moon brand 🙂

      I mostly use plain with a few Siggi’s flavors thrown in (disclosure they sent us some flavors to try at the bakery, but I also do buy theirs when I’m in the mood. Orange + Ginger is my fav)
