…Involves great communication and sunflower butter & jelly!
Breakfast:
Perfect Marriage Oats
- 2 tbsp Scottish oats
- 2 tbsp rolled oats
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup milk
- Half banana
- Pinch salt
- 2 tbsp cottage cheese, stirred in at end
- Hemp Plus granola
- Sunflower butter
- Strawberry jam
Cool coffee (once the ice melted!) with chocolate mint
We are taking today totally off from the bakery under the recommendation of Great Harvest. When Tim told us to take a day off before this week starts, Matt and I looked at each other and smiled: “WINE TASTING!” It’s our very favorite romantic getaway. After all, we did spend our whole honeymoon drinking in wine country!
But after a week of eating in restaurants, I’m a little bit overfed and the thought of drinking all day wasn’t that appealing. We decided a hike would be just as fun and a bit more relaxing.
But when it came down to planning a hike, we decided we’d rather do stuff around the house and just relax. Weeding the garden. Mowing the grass. Reading a book. Veg day! I’m excited for another day to get our house in tip top shape for the busy week ahead – including a little prep cooking!

sunflower butter & jelly = great!
The Wine Country, one of my fave places on earth! I always have said, could live in Napa or Sonoma if it werent for the cold winters. Yes, Im a wuss and that’s cold to me now 🙂
I think it’s great that you took a “vacation” from work but stayed home and are being productive doing the things that you want to do. That’s the BEST way to use a day off: doing exactly what YOU WANT to be doing!
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
How cool that your anniversary is this week + the bakery opening!

Ashley Myers says
Congrats on both! That’s is our exact Anniversary as well. I can’t believe it has been 4 years for us either. Funny we have also known eachother for about 10 years but didn’t have a romantic spark until about 6 years ago. I read your story on how you met. It is always fun to hear others stories. Thanks for sharing.

July is our 4 year anniversary – hooray for 2007 weddings! We always celebrate by following the traditional anniversary gifts – it’s a FUN way to celebrate our relationship. 4 years is flowers or fruit. Should be easy!! Cheers to you!
